Bible Note: Hi, Ray! I understand your point! I can only offer that I see the Word of God not only as Jesus, the Gospel, the Epistles and Revelation... to me the Word of God is every commandment that God gave to us, every admonition, every promise, and every revelation... sometimes we find Scripture where Yahweh Himself is speaking while other times we find Scripture where His angels, or prophets are given delegated assignments to speak on His behalf... So, though the Law never gave Spiritual Life to any Isrealite, their obedience to His Word (Command, warning, revelation) gave them Life--this Life being hidden in Christ, of course! It is not surprising that Jesus said that Abraham looked forward to seeing His Day (John 8:56), and that he saw it, and was glad! Clearly, we know that Abraham did not stay alive till the incarnation of the Word! It is by the Holy Spirit that Abraham was given the ability to see and know Christ! God Bless! Angel |
