   🕊️a reading & study 🕊️

21 - Tell me (Paul wrote) - you who desire to be under the law, do you listen to the law? 22 For it’s written that Abraham had two sons. One by a slave woman, and one by a free woman. (On in years Sarah insisted, due to lack of faith.) 23 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh/natural, while the son of the free woman was born through a promise. {Which started in Eden, which all peoples took memories, and a version of, from the dispersion from Babel Tower. And God had promised a son to Abraham, but they became elderly.} 24 Now this may be interpreted allegorically {though it’s still literal, js} these women are two covenants/contracts/agreements/treaties. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children in slavery {to the law, for they are imperfect and the ten laws especially, are society preservative} that covenant is Hagar, the slave woman. 25 And Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia (from where the laws were given to Moses who gave them to the tribes/nation) and is the present Jerusalem. For she is held in slavery with her children. {Held in bondage, a slave condition, because imperfect cannot ever make itself perfect.} 26 But the Jerusalem from above is free! And it is she who is our mother! 27 For it’s written, “Rejoice, O desolate one who has not borne any children, break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the barren one will be more than those of the other.” {“You all like children have gone astray”. Israel micro version, all humanity macro, Rev.7:4,9.}

     28 Now you, like Isaac, are children of the promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh/natural (Ishmael) persecuted the one who was born according to the Spirit. So also it is now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman, meaning the covenant, and her offspring, for the son (covenant) of the slave woman shall not (cannot) inherit with the son (Jesus) of the free woman/covenant/treaty/AGREEMENT.” 31 So, we are not of the slave woman (treaty) but of the free woman (treaty)! {The agreement oF promise; a gift, “received by faith/believing and thus we follow. Our “communion” and filling “is with the Father and the Son” onLy straight out from God one - so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence. And “God is Love”. And “love works no ill” and -> “never fails” 1Cor.13. 1Jn.4:8.}
