God's Promise to Abraham is nearly the entire foundation for the Christian faith. And it has nearly come to be true, that Christianity forsook the nature of the Promise of Abraham, and believed that it was the will of Christ to not be able to eternally possess one's inheritance. And this is the foundation of false humility that led people into thinking that faith in Christ means to 'let go' of one's inheritance, especially in the context of it being eternal.

One of the biggest enemies of faith, in these things, is practicality. The word practical actually means 'not quite.' And the Christian religion nearly fully embraced the falsehood of not sowing to things, especially concerning someone's inheritance, where there isn't physical fruit yet. The hook of pride that has been present in the Christian faith through these things, began to attempt to give Christians fruit, based on how they claim to be sowing to not wanting anything but Jesus, whether there is physical fruit or not in the present tense. This is how many in the church believed that they were still abiding in God, and were His chosen and faithful.

In the gospels, there is the story of the ten lepers. These ten lepers were healed by Jesus on their way, as He told them to go and to present themselves to the Priest, as was the custom through the Law. The fact that this story brings up, is that these ten had the faith to believe that they were healed in Christ, though they did not see the fruit of it until they had began on their way to see the Priest. And it is in this likeness that God gave His Promise to Abraham, just as this is also the same likeness that God chose David and made him king. As found in the Bible, both Abraham and David did not have the physical fruit of God's Promise in the present tense time that God gave them the Promise.

In these ways we can see why and how practicality is a counterfeit of true faith. The story of the ten lepers also includes the fact that only one leper returned to thank Christ for being healed. Through this we may understand just exactly what happened with Esau and Jacob. It could be questioned, regarding what happened between Jacob and Esau, as if it was not really a big deal, giving question as to why Esau was not allowed to regain his inheritance, as well as to why Jacob and Esau even made the deal that they did, as the terms seem rather stupid, because who would trade away their inheritance for a bowl of soup, and who would ask for someone's inheritance for a bowl of soup? The one leper who returned to thank Christ for being healed, as in the story, gives testimony of appreciation.

As the Bible speaks about what are called 'clefts' we can determine the exact nature of our salvation, and the foundation for appreciation. Moses was in the cleft when he saw the backside of God, and Solomon asked the Shulamite to 'look to him from the clefts.' In another context, Samson hid in a cleft, and before Israel was conquered by Babylon people were wickedly sacrificing to other gods, hiding their wickedness in doing so in the clefts of the rocks. The very existence of a cleft comes through putting emphasis on the spiritual. In this way, if the path of life was a straight line, a cleft would be a kind of bubble, point, or a certain highlighted distance along the way. The very fact that God subjected creation to futility, as Satan fell, having tasted of the knowledge of incorruption through the knowledge of good and evil, but not partaking of the knowledge of incorruption, gives the existence of the cleft of God, in regards to salvation, just as Adam and Eve fell, after Satan tempted Eve, and Adam ate the fruit after Eve gave it to him. The Bible clearly says that Adam was not deceived as Eve was, and neither of them sinned until they ate of the fruit, just as Eve was as a child only having the knowledge of good, not having the knowledge of good and evil before she ate. This shows how they were not in sin before they ate of the fruit, just as pride, and or rebellion, are deceptions, as pride elevates itself farther than it is actually worth. This is why the transgression of Adam, which is also where the sinful condition comes from, which is also known as original sin, is to have the will to do good, but to not know how to perform what is good. The cleft that formed, as God subjected creation to futility, is the very existence of the manifold wisdom of God, as He made examples through the vessels of dishonor and wrath, and saved the vessels of honor and mercy, just as He also even gives for those who are saved to be saved apart from their own works and earnings. So what was the whole point of subjecting creation to futility? To show how we need God's foreknowledge to even look to Him, just as it takes the knowledge of good and evil to freely choose His incorruptible life, though within this, to have the knowledge of good and evil, and to not partake of the knowledge of incorruption through God’s foreknowledge, can lead to falling away beyond renewal. And all of these things occurred, with creation being subjected to futility, without God being the one who caused anyone to fall. This may sound like God made Satan the scapegoat, but that is not the whole story, because the manifold wisdom and truth of God understands that creation has no place to question the Creator. And God hasn't shown Himself as tough love through these things, because He is the One who has also sent His Son to bear the fullness of all that was lost, and to then also save all that was lost, and make all things new. Therefore the beauty and wonder of salvation and life everlasting is found in those who awake to God through the love of Christ and the Spirit, whether or not there is corruption currently.

God has also given the ability for everyone to continually believe in Him. And through this, a person might be able at any time to fully and wholly seek God and look to Him, regardless of whatever corruption there may presently be. So it is through things like the be-attitudes that people may be able to be positioned to fully believe in God.

The problem with practicality is that it chooses to just go do something different, when any kind of situation comes along where there isn't prosperity as of yet. And practicality in this way, let's go of God and His Promises, just as the Israelites did after having left Egypt. And on top of this, practicality can seem to offer a type of godliness, by having physical fruit in things, however, without the kingdom of God continually abiding in someone through continually believing in God, even the type of sacrifice someone may claim to have in God, in wanting nothing else but Him, will be taken away, just as the Bible says that 'for those who do not have, even what they do have will be taken away from them.' Why, and how? Because there can only be true appreciation towards God in Spirit and truth, through believing in Him concerning His eternal promises, whether or not there is physical fruit when God gives the Promise. And practicality is able, just as the kingdom of darkness and false light, to continue to offer lukewarmness, even unto the very end, though someone could also fall away beyond repentance until then as well. For example, practicality might say something like: "I believe in that promise from God, but I am not going to do anything until God does," and thus practicality could seem to be in right standing with God, though it is not.

The cleft is taken away through entering in, and it is actually the very truth of the Dragon's tail drawing 1/3rd of the stars, to come unto the end, and then find that the cleft was not filled with the Spirit of God, just as the Bible also gives the parable of the unclean spirit departing and returning, and the truth in Proverbs about the house being filled with riches, which is the knowledge of God. And our knowledge of God is firstly found in the Spirit, and it is the Spirit which takes away the existence of our promises not yet being fulfilled, after we enter in. And thus the Spirit continues, and bridges the gap and cleft between what is spiritual and what is physical. The entire emphasis that is given to the Spirit, by God, elevates God as to being the only self-sufficient and primary being, as what is physical symbolizes created things, even though all created spiritual beings are a type of flesh. Therefore the plan of God, in His manifold wisdom and truth, as He subjected creation to futility, was to go abundantly above what He first created and called good in Genesis 1-2, and He does this through giving us to be able to know Him in ways and bounds that were not then possible. And it is in this likeness, that entering into His rest includes us no longer having to even view what became corrupted when He subjected creation to futility, and as with being born again we may also know that we are inwardly incorruptible, sinless, and perfect. What was it that was not possible for anyone to know, even when creation was still without sin, before Satan fell, and then Adam and Eve? Incorruption, by which a person and their inheritance CAN NOT fall away beyond renewal. It is not true that the goodness of God is only known because of the evil that creation was subjected to, because it is impossible to learn from darkness, even as darkness firstly symbolizes knowledge not yet revealed. And so only through the light of God is it possible to learn anything, know anything, or really possess anything, and in this way, again, God does not have tough love.

The problem with letting go, is that a person can also let go of God and His Promises, and the problem with gaining one's initiative and will, is that a person could be moving forward, but apart from the oneness of God, whether or not they seem to have fruit.

In looking to God from the cleft, we may understand that as what is spiritual is being emphasized, that it is the imagination which is bridging the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, just as the Holy Spirit is a type of source and the Word is a type of substance. And it is abundantly above all that we can ask or think, that the Spirit of God, and the Word of God can continue, even when the physical is yet to fully be present, and this goes abundantly above just overcoming the corruption that presently exists, into knowing that we shall possess our inheritances in heaven forever and ever. Therefore also, it is the Word and the Spirit which makeup the Breath of God, whether through the Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of Jesus Christ, as Jesus is Himself the Word of God, and has His own Spirit, though He is also one with the Holy Spirit. And this is true just as we go to and fro as we breath, and thus go to and fro between the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Jesus Christ. The importance of the name “The Breath of God” is that it connects the three which establish on earth: the Spirit, the blood, and the Word; and this is so important because our lives and promises are what become established in entering in. And so the name “The Breath of God” denotes the oneness of God, just as Paul also said that a person has to have the Spirit of Jesus Christ to really be saved and be His. Thus the breath of God correlates to entering in and His Promises, just as the Breath is also a part of the five parts of the soul: nephesh [Hebrew] (Personality, soul, life), breath, will, mind, and imagination. In these things, the imagination is more than just a common thing, and even as the Amethyst is known as being a dream stone, so does it actually lead away from the ‘intoxication’ of lukewarmness, unto the dreams, visions, and imagination in the Spirit. This is true, just as the prefix ‘a’ in regards to ‘methuo’ and ‘amethustos’ has meaning as a negative particle, just like it can in the English language, where it can mean ‘without’ when used as a prefix. The cleft then, is also what God created as He subjected creation to futility, but He did not create it in vanity, just as the Bible says that His Word performs what He sent it for. Thus when God is carving out a vacancy, vessel, or a cavern, it is so that He can fully fill it.

The word chalcedony, as the gem stone, also means 'copperlike.' Copper, as bronze and brass symbolizes judgment. And we can find in the Bible, that the pillars in the porch area of the inner court were made of copper. And they were also 3 inches thick. The element beryllium is used to make copper last longer, and copper is actually also one of the best electric conductors because it has a low resistance, meaning that only a small amount of electricity is lost, in using copper as a conductor, where it might take a certain amount more, of electricity, to use another element as a conductor. By symbolism then, the gem stone beryl represents what God is filling us with, as we can also view the copper pillars of Jachin and Boaz to represent a vessel or chasm that is yet to be filled, just as they were hollow.
