The golden lampstand in the tabernacle, the house of God, was a piece of furniture designed by God Himself: only God can design such a lamp which bears light and yet looks like a tree, with cups, calyxes, and almond blossoms! The type of the lampstand points to the Triune God: the Father is the […]
A Basic Principle in God’s Economy as seen in Moses’ Enacting the Law as a Covenant
I was impressed to see that God’s intention in decreeing the law is not the same intention in the people of Israel in receiving the law. Three times the people of Israel responded to God with, All that God has said, we will do! – but God did not appreciate it, but rather He was […]

The Law is the Living Word of God to Infuse His Substance into His Loving Seekers
