This is the second in a series of articles that, when complete, will explain how the Prophets concealed the first of seven messages hidden in the Hebrew Scriptures by their use of the ancient Hebrew idioms “build a house,” “raise up a seed,” and “make a name.” The first article in the series appeared in the July 1996 issue. This article explains the meaning and significance of some of the things Moses relates in his historical account of the Flood and the Tower of Babel. The point is, the message concerning “The House” explains the basis on which God expects the Blessed to make a distinction between themselves and the Cursed.
This “Questions & Answers” column begins with an explanation of a couple of the passages in the Hebrew Scriptures that the Early Church Fathers understood were referring to the seven seals with which the Prophets sealed the Scriptures. It continues by again addressing the curse that God placed on the woman, and it concludes with an explanation of how the curse that God placed directly on the woman affects any “one-flesh” relationship she has with a man.
