sounds good, I look forward to it.
Ok, here is where you fall off the track. The Church, The Bride of Christ was not in the OT where Jacob was.
thanks for your thoughts.

It is where we have or differences as to how we hear..or say we do. Whether one is off track depends on how one says they hear what the Bible says in that way there must be differences in opinion called heresies . .
The bride of Christ are the believers. In that way the tens of thousands of old testament saints are represented by 12 tribes as gates needed to enter into the the new heavenly Jerusalem. The city prepared for the one wife the church , not the earthly corrupted it will disappear . While 12 a number that speaks of the authority of God .12 apostles (sent ones) as remnant of all listed (27) as those sent out of the city. Apostles represent all the new testament saints they represent the foundation walls. This is according to the golden measure (the measure of faith) not the literal measure of men In that way without parables that hide the signified understanding of faith Christ spoke not..
Revelation 21: 9-18 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the
bride, the
Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God, Having the
glory of
God: and
her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had
twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had
twelve foundations, and in them the names of the
twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a
golden reed to measure the
city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with
the reed, (Not literal measure the measure of man. or a messenger) twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an
hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the
measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
I would offer out of all the books Revelation, the last chapter it is filled with metaphors found through out the Bible. It is the only book that begins describing the kind of hermeneutics needed to rightly divide . In that way not only did he send or prophecy it but also signified. Called the hidden manna in chapter 2:17 . Manna defined . . (what is it?)
The golden measure must be used in order to rightly divide the parables used throughout the last book.
Revelation1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he
sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Not sure where the doctrine of dispensationalism came into play or why? it seem to literalize the golden measure of faith .
Most last times doctrines followed the Amil . . .no literal thousand years .A term used 9 times to represent a unknown .6 in chapter 20 .
In that way God does not number mankind or time. He desire we walk by faith the signified understanding found in parables. Again not a salvation issue more of how can we hear what the Spirit of Christ says to the churches or sects .
Each person is given a measure of faith not of their own. . the golden rule.
