  • The Two Types Of Images.

    2 Samuel 11,

    1: And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
    2: And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
    3: And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
    4: And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
    5: And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
    6: And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
    7: And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
    8: And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
    9: But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
    10: And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
    11: And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
    12: And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
    13: And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
    14: And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
    15: And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
    16: And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
    17: And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
    18: Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
    19: And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
    20: And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
    21: Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
    22: So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.
    23: And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.
    24: And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
    25: Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.
    26: And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
    27: And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

    Why onewould ask did David do such a thing? Someone who the Bible refered to as a "man after God's heart." A person who at all times in his life sought God, but at this time, we see him going after the thoughts of "his own heart."

    The answer is not far fetched. There are two types of people of the same person in the Bible, one is the man of sin and another is the regenerated person, one who has been redeemed by Christ. That this is also true in everyday life is evident in such illnesses as Bipolar Affective Disorder, which doctors do not have a clue to its origin, but which I believe is caused by this nature in man. We will get to this later.

    At this the time that David committed this sin, he was totally following his own thoughts. Had he been following the thoughts of God, he would not have committed this sin. There are two words in Hebrew, Bala' and Ba'al. Bala' means swallow down, swallow up, engulf, usually with the sense of calamity and destruction in the Bible. For example Korah, Datan and Abiram were "swallowed up" by the earth in Numbers 16. Ba'al on its own means to marry or rule over, and has the sense of lordship. Jesus Christ is the Lord of every Christian but he is married to only a few. Before I continue about the story of David and Bath-sheba, let us look at this place in 1 Corinthian.
    1 Corinthians 10,

    1: Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
    2: And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
    3: And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
    4: And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
    5: But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
    6: Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
    7: Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
    8: Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
    9: Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
    10: Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
    11: Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
    12: Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
    13: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
    14: Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
    15: I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
    16: The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
    17: For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
    18: Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the alter?
    19: What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
    20: But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
    21: Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
    22: Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
    23: All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
    24: Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
    25: Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
    26: For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
    27: If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
    28: But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
    29: Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
    30: For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
    31: Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
    32: Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
    33: Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

    We find written in 1 Corinthians 10: 21 these words " ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils: Ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils." When we "drink" from the cup of demons, we can only be destroyed as we are saying the blood of Jesus does not avail for us and that he has not bought us with his blood, or that he is not our lord.

    This calls to mind those who say in this country they do "deliverance sessions" for people, even Christians. What are they "delivering" people from? Jesus has already done all the delivering there is need to do. There can be no other need for deliverance, though this people say they are doing this "deliverance" in the name of Jesus. There are also people who say they have a Ministry for "prosperity" or they have a Ministry for holiness and so on. The only Ministry we have as Christians is the Ministry of reconciliation and this includes prosperity and holiness, and even much more.

    Now back to the story of David and Bath-sheba, we can now see that when we go after our own thoughts and we refuse to acknowledge, or should I say, have the thoughts of God, we are destroyed. 'Adam was taken from the soil 'Adamah. When we refuse the thoughts of God, we are consumed by the evil one and we return to our 'Adamah, the ground, because we refuse to acknowledge the one who gave birth to us in God, Jesus Christ himself, our spiritual 'Adamah.

    Anyone who has a bedroom relationship with Jesus Christ is an 'Adam ( see the essay Newton's third law, laws, and the Creation Account in Genesis). Therefore for someone to pass into the bedroom relationship with Christ he must first have acknowledged that all his sins have been taken away. Then, he is in the image of God, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1: 7-8 says,

    7: In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
    8: Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

    Also Hebrews 10: 19-39 says,

    19: Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
    20: By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
    21: And having an high priest over the house of God;
    22: Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
    23: Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
    24: And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
    25: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
    26: For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
    27: But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
    28: He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
    29: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
    30: For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
    31: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
    32: But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
    33: Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
    34: For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
    35: Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
    36: For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
    37: For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
    38: Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
    39: But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

    Those who drink of the cup of demons bring damnation unto themselves and despise the Lord over them, Ba'al. This is therfore represented by Bala', the disorganised arrangement of Ba'al. Their Lord is Satan and they are the image of Satan, the serpent.. Thinking of going ahead in this essay, the story of the molten calf made by Aaron is of note in Exodus 32.

    Exodus 32,
    1: And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
    2: And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
    3: And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
    4: And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
    5: And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
    6: And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
    7: And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
    8: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
    9: And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
    10: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
    11: And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
    12: Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
    13: Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
    14: And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
    15: And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
    16: And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
    17: And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
    18: And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
    19: And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
    20: And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
    21: And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
    22: And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
    23: For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
    24: And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
    25: And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
    26: Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
    27: And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
    28: And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
    29: For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
    30: And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
    31: And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
    32: Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin -- ; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
    33: And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
    34: Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
    35: And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

    The Hebrew word for the molten calf is "Egel Masecah." The word for the curtain of the courtyard of the tabernacle in the wilderness is Masaq. Meanwhile, a word for mixed wine is Meseq. We can note that even when Moses killed about 3000 people in the story above, he still had to go and see if he could make atonement for the people. Only the blood of Jesus can make us leave the courtyard and enter the Holy of holies, freeing us from all sin. Deliverance and effort such as fasting will not deliver us from sin. All these are symbolized by the killing of those 3000 or so people. We do not have to mix the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus. The Butler did not mix the wine he gave to Pharaoh and he was saved, but the Baker, trying to add "all sorts of pastery," when he wanted to present these to Pharaoh was destroyed in the story in Genesis.

    I think therefore, that illnesses such as schizophrenia and Bipolar Affective Disorder are due in part to these two images in a person, that image of of Satan and the Image of God. And it is this conflict and "misunderstanding" between them that causes the illnesses. When someone learns to hear from the WORD, Jesus Christ he or she then speaks the same language as the Son of God and ends up being healed.

  • Satan And The Tree Of Life.

    The word Satan is composed of three Hebrew consonants, the letter Sin of value 300, the letter Teth of value 9 and the letter Nun of value 50. A final Nun at the end of a word has the value 700 . Hebrew letters were used also as numerals in the post Biblical period. Also Greek letters are also used as numerals, hence the Bible mentions the number of the name of the Beast would be 666.

    The letter Sin is the same as the letter Shin, only Shin has a point mark on the right at the top, while Sin as a point on the left. I believe these three letters represent what the word of God wants us to know about Satan. You might ask, is Satan an influence or a person? I believe Satan is both an influence and a person. The Bible, though not expressly talking of Satan directly, talks of the "Prince of the power of the air," the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience, that is in the Greek- "kata ton archonta tes exousias tou aeros, tou pneumatos tou nun energountes en tes uiois tes apethias."

    Ton archonta tes exousias tou aeros literally means the ruler of the authority of the air and uiois tes apethias is sons of the disobedience. One literal translation of energountes is "operating within." Satan is that which operates within man to distabilize and seperate man from God. The symbol for man (that is, the letter in the word 'Ish), has a point mark on the right. I believe this symbolizes Christ. The Bible says in Ephesians 1: 15-23,

    15: Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
    16: Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
    17: That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
    18: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
    19: And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
    20: Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
    21: Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
    22: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
    23: Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.

    Satan is that which opposes the name of God in every individual, the name YHWH, that is, the name revealed to Moses on the mount. Therefore the beginning of his name is letter Sin with a mark on the left, rather letter Shin of the same numerical value. As I said Satan is both an influence and a person. This, I believe again is an attribute of spirits. A spirit can both be a person and an influence. The word for spirit in Hebrew is Ruach which also means "wind." When the sons of YHWH appeared to the LORD, Satan also appeared among them in Job 1:6, Job 2:1. So it appears Satan is also a person there. But the word energountes which can be translated "operating within" has the sense that Satan primarily operates within man, in the cosmos internal to man and deters man from bringing Christ to birth in one, the name YHWH. Jesus calls himself in the gospels many times, the Son of man more than the Son of God.

    Satan defeats us achieving the will of God in our lives by detouring us from our "east" and the tree of life. The garden was planted east (Qedem in Hebrew) of Eden. Also when the men were building a tower to reach heaven in Genesis they were moving from the east. So the east is significant in the Bible. The Bible talks of the "east wind." This I think is the power of God to overcome the evil principality in our lives.

    The second letter is the letter Teth. This is the ninth letter of the Hebrew alphabetic system and also has a numeral nine. Though our present day numeral system has nothing to do with the Hebrew as far as I know, God has permitted it for a purpose. Nine in our present day numeric system is the inverse of six, the figure for man, since man was created the sixth day. It cannot be over said, Satan is all that opposes God in man, hence the basic meaning of Satan is adversary. The symbol for the last letter Nun is a fish. You can just imagine. The word for fish in the Greek is Ikthus. This is mainly formed from the initials of the words Iesous Kristos O Uios tou Theou, Jesus Christ the Son of God. Satan wants to enthrone himself where the Son of God should be in our lives.

    The Hebrew name of God revealed to Moses is YHWH, which spartakus Freeman describes in the website www. kaballeenlingne as follows, quoting a passage from him from french, he says;

    "Ari (Isaac Louria) tells us of Tselem in in putting this word in parallel with the tree of life and the word Tetragrammaton, YHWH: The image of God is the tree. Traversing the word 'etz one discovers that the name YHWH is found dissimulated inside the tree of life (Y*H +H*Y) + (W*H +H*W) =160, or 'etz = Ayin(70) + Tsadde(90) =160. It is worth nothing that the Torah is equally called a tree and that man is equally an image of a tree in that he is created betselem ( in the image of God), or Tselem (Tsadde, Lamed, Mem) which also equals 160."

    Tselem is the Hebrew word for image and 'etz is the Hebrew word for tree..... Let's look at the prodigal soon, or the person usually refered to as the prodigal son in the Bible in Luke 15.

    Luke 15,
    1: Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
    2: And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
    3: And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
    4: What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
    5: And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
    6: And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
    7: I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
    8: Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
    9: And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
    10: Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
    11: And he said, A certain man had two sons:
    12: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
    13: And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
    14: And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
    15: And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
    16: And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
    17: And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
    18: I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
    19: And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
    20: And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
    21: And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
    22: But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
    23: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
    24: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
    25: Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
    26: And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
    27: And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
    28: And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
    29: And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
    30: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
    31: And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
    32: It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

    The prodigal son son represents someone who moves away from his east represented by the tree of life. This is someone with is own thoughts rather than the thoughts of God. This person believes his own thoughts rather than the thoughts of God, therefore he or she is married to Satan.

    When such a person returns to God by having the thoughts of God, the sacrifice of Christ represented by the fatted calf is able to make that "dead" person alive again. Then there is no more condemnation for such a one. Abraham should have been the one condemned in the story in Genesis. Rather, it was Abimelech that was condemned. God did not condemn Abraham for lying or giving the impression Sarah was not his wife. So also those who return to YHWH by having His own thoughts have again a portion in the tree of life.
