Galatians – 8
“The Spirit consistently puts earthly Succession to death, dividing families, communities and entire countries, as we see today. To claim otherwise is to work against the Spirit in the world. My heredity, my household, my culture, is the target of my ministry, not its source.”
It’s time to get back into Galatians. To recap, the epistle follows the Covenant structure, but gives the central point, the Ethics, its own Covenant structure. If this thesis is correct, what we should expect in the next “cycle” (Gal. 3:26-4:7) is a discussion of Covenant Succession. Lo and behold, this is exactly what we find.

That is amazing! I read the Bible Matrix this past summer but I am still trying to get my head around it. I am hoping it will begin to jell in my mind so I can really begin to appreciate these concepts as I read and study the word. So much truth buried there!
