King of Tyrus

Ezek28:12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13: Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created".

This may have been the way Eve saw the serpent, perhaps like many today see him in red pajamas and pitchfork. You think?

The 2 Great Lights on Day Four are seen differently after Jesus declared he was the Light of the World, and that "he and his Father were one", John10:30.

The Tree of Life was in Eden too, but maybe Adam hadn't mentioned it to Eve?? Was the scoundrel waiting to see if she was still alive on Day Two?
Anyhow, the 'trees of righteousness' are in Isa61, and refers to PEOPLE as the Planting of the Lord.

It isn't only beavers which eat trees -- Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore like others climb mountains, and those who don't climb the Tree of Life with its 66 branches are in for a rude awakening someday. This theme from the early chapters of Genesis goes all the way to Revelation.

LAZARUS

"Lazarus, Come forth!" John 11:43. It's the numbers which make this account one of the most profound in scripture. Lazarus had been sick for "two days" yet curiously, Jesus remained where he was. When he finally did arrive at the gravesite, Lazarus had been dead for four days. The "two days" of the Old Covenant, plus the "two days" of the New Covenant add up to the entire stinketh time. Remember, it's on this one specific occasion that Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life". Jn11:25. The fact that two persons in the Gospels are named Lazarus (both in afterlife context) only increases the significance.

Because there is no difference between the Jew and the Gentile, Rom10:12, we can see that the two covenants are really one. They were the Children, but we're [supposed to be] the reasoning Adults. They were a school teacher to bring us to Christ, who has redeemed us from the curse of the Law. Gal 3:13.

On that great day when the trumpet sounds, 1Thes4:16, we'll also hear "Lazarus, Come forth". At least figuratively.

Habeas Corpus

Rest My Case - Heb 4:9


Beyond the shadow of a doubt,
The habeas corpus you can't flout..
The White Throne Judgment is a must
and the only acquital is for the just.


The corpus dilecti is here on earth,
(he left it behind so we'd know..)
There's definitely been a crime committed,
Mankind had better look out below!


The Rulers of Darkness, had they but known,
Would never have smitten the Seed that was sown..1Cor2:8/1Pet1:23
They went and killed that innocent Lamb,
Not knowing he was surely the son of "I AM".


Two Testament witnesses will be at the trial,
(Prima facie evidence the world knows..)
His Will and Last Testament shown to the court
The INHERITANCE denied to all foes.


The principal accused is the Devil.. his
bloody head failed the DNA tests..
The many accessories to his crimes
will be known before Defense Rests: Heb4:9


The Counselor tells the Body of Christ
not to fear for the Head up above..
"Faith is the Evidence" we've been saved
and IN HIM we're walking in love.


The High Court will soon be convening..
Nobody's excused from this docket..
You'd better retain the Advocate Son
'Cause He's got the Judge in his pocket!
