The Point of the Spear

“But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.” – John 19:34

The spear reminds us that Jesus was a victim of both Goliath, the Gentile Sea Beast dressed in chainmail scales (Leviathan), and Saul, the Israelite King turned Land Beast (Behemoth). He was executed as a Balaamite (false prophet) by an apostate Phinehas, the corrupted High Priest who wished to retain the Covenant. The spear was thrust by the conspiracy of the serpent/dragon (Rome), and Adam and Eve (Herod and ‘Babylon’).

The 70 foot high veil in the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The veil was His body (Hebrews 10:20). In Passover/the Red Sea, and in Jordan/Jericho, blood and water opened the door.

“I am the door.” – John 10:9

“Union Card”

E. Miner wrote, that “the ability to declare typology absent is a kind of proof of sound modern critical method.”

Which translated means, “Skepticism about typology is the union card of serious biblical scholarship.”

Exegetical Blinkers 2

The rejection of typology by modern conservative interpreters renders them unable to make any sense of the “oddities” in the New Testament, which are not vestigial organs but references to repeated themes.

These scholars limit themselves to the mechanics, when full interpretation requires a musician. They insist upon only ever studying the tapestry of Biblical revelation from the back. They miss many things that are obvious to Bible-taught children.
