I LOVE your symbolism! Thanks for sharing this beautiful thought.

Blessings.

A wound of sin is ” open” Healing means to restore made whole.

Could this reafer to a healing od a woumd which when healed leaves no trace?

In simplicity If I cut my finger I can bind it together with a bandage for prtection and the wound will heal.

” Cor 5 If any man is “in” ( Ingrafted) Christ he is a new creation.

Grafting a tree causes a wound which has to be pretected from disease so that the new life can flow into the ” new ” branch.
Just an inspired thought.

Keep The Son in your eyes

Thank you for your comment. I am a partial preterist and believe that we are currently living in the millennium.I think that many people are once again looking at this issue after the 1980s and 1990s which were dominated by the Left Behind series. I think it is hard for people who were caught up in this pretrib, premill perspective to step back and admit that there are many holes in this interpretation.

However, it is one of those “B” issues and one day we will know exactly what happened. A dear friend and elder once said to me, when I asked him about his certainty regarding the premil perspective, “Well, if things get real bad and we’re still here, the elders will meet and change our statement of beliefs!

Who knows, maybe John MacArthur is right and the greatest Greek scholars (Google “Famous Rapture Watchers”), who uniformly said that Rev. 3:10 means PRESERVATION THROUGH, were wrong. But John has a conflict. On the one hand, since he knows that all Christian theology and organized churches before 1830 believed the church would be on earth during the tribulation, he would like to be seen as one who stands with the great Reformers. On the other hand, if you have a warehouse of unsold pretrib rapture material, and if you want to have “security” for your retirement years and hope that the big California quake won’t louse up your plans, you have a decided conflict of interest – right, John? Maybe the Lord will have to help strip off the layers of his seared conscience which have grown for years in order to please his parents and his supporters – who knows? One thing is for sure: pretrib is truly a house of cards and is so fragile that if a person removes just one card from the TOP of the pile, the whole thing can collapse. Which is why pretrib teachers don’t dare to even suggest they could be wrong on even one little subpoint! Don’t you feel sorry for the straitjacket they are in? While you’re mulling all this over, Google “Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty” for a rare behind-the-scenes look at the same 179-year-old fantasy.
