Hey friend!
Matthew 10:34-39
34 Think not that I am come to cast peace upon the land: I came not to bring peace, but a machaira, [sword of spiritual warfare, Rev 6:4].
35 For I came to sever a man from his father, and the daughter from her mother, and the daughter in law from her mother in law:
36 And the enemies of a man shall be those of his own household [Mic 7:5-6, Deut 13:5-10].
37 The one loving father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and the one loving son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And the one not taking up his stake and following after me is not worthy of me.
39 The one finding his soul shall destroy her; and the one destroying his soul for my sake shall find her.
"The Spirit" -vs- "the Flesh"
"Sarah-Israel" -vs- "Hagar-Egypt"
"Isaac of the Promise" -vs- "Ishmael of the flesh"
"Jacob (smooth skin)" -vs- "Esau (hairy twin-goat skin)"
"Your heavenly Father" -vs- "Your father the devil"
"Your mother-covenant Jerusalem of above" -vs- "Your mother of harlots of below"
"Your inner son of the seed of the Word" -vs- "Your son of perdition" (Esau man (Judas))
I recall a certain Levite who took a concubine from Bethlehem-Judah; and she played the harlot against him, and then fled away from him back to her father's house in Bethlehem-Judah. And her husband arose, and went after her, speaking kindly to her, to bring her back to him again, (for she was "like unto his own soul", lol). But as things worked out she ended up getting raped and pillaged, and died because of it, and there was war against Benjamin over this, and the whole tribe of Benjamin was nearly wiped out: for the Levite took his beloved soul and divided her up into twelve portions, (for she was dead, having been murdered by Sodomite Benjamites), and he divided and sent the twelve portions of his dead soul to the twelve tribes of Israel ruling over the twelve thrones. :chuckle:
For as you well know, my friend, the kingdom of Elohim is within you.
