Exodus 20 – 2

Creation – Sabbath – God
“Honor (Light – Word)
…..your father (Firmament – Delegate)
……….and your mother, (Land – Altar)
……………that your days may be long (Fire)
……….upon the land (Hosts – Smoke)
…..which the LORD your God (Laver – Mediator)
is giving you. (Succession)

…..Division – Passover – Father
…..You shall not murder.

……….Ascension – Firstfruits – Covenant – Mother
……….You shall not commit adultery.

……………Testing – Pentecost [Ethics]
……………You shall not steal.

……….Maturity – Trumpets – Witnesses
………. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

…..Conquest – Atonement – High Priest
…..You shall not covet your neighbor’s house;

Glorification – Tabernacles – Shelter Hierarchy from top to bottom
you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, (Most Holy)
…..nor his male servant, (Veil – Hierarchy)
……….nor his female servant, (Altar-Land)
……………nor his ox, (Wilderness Beast?)
……….nor his donkey, (Believing Gentiles/peacemakers)
…..nor any thing that is (open Veil?)
your neighbor’s.” (Continuity)

Creation
Now all the people (Ark tablets)
…..witnessed (Veil open)
……….the thunderings, (Mountain-Altar)
……………the lightning flashes, (Lampstand)
……….the sound of the trumpet, (Witnesses – Warrior)
……….and the mountain smoking; (Incense – Bride)
…..and when the people saw, (Dis-covering)
they trembled and stood afar off. (Scattering from God)

Division – Israel passed over
Then they said
…..to Moses,

……….“You speak with us, (As the Transcendent)
……………and we will hear; (Willing delegates)
………………..but let not God speak with us, (The mountain-Altar)
…………………….lest we die.” (Holy fire)
…………………….(Ascension speech ends at Testing, in the wilderness)

……………And Moses said
………………..to the people,
…………………….“Do not fear; (i.e. “draw near as firstfruits”) LAW GIVEN
…………………………for God has come to test you, LAW OPENED
…………………….and that His fear may be before you, LAW RECEIVED
………………..so that you may not sin.”
…………...(No Booths follows Atonement)

……….So the people stood afar off, (Hosts – Trumpets)

…..but Moses drew near (Mediator – Atonement)

the thick darkness where God [was.]
(The Glory Cloud/Chariot-Tabernacle)

Ascension – Altar
Then the LORD said to Moses, (Source)
…..“Thus you shall say (Delegate)
……….to the children of Israel: (Firstfruits)

……….…..‘You have seen that I
………………..
have talked with you from heaven.
…………………….
You shall not make [anything to be] with Me –
…………………………
gods of silver or gods of gold
…………………………(False sun, moon and stars)
…………………….
you shall not make for yourselves.
………………..‘An altar of earth [dust?] you shall make for Me,
………………..(New Adamic mediator)

……….and you shall sacrifice on it
…..your burnt offerings and your peace offerings,
your sheep and your oxen.

Testing – Lampstand – Rev. 2-3
In every place (Transcendence)
…..where I record (Hierarchy)
……….My name (Ethics)
…..I will come to you, (Sanctions)
and I will bless you. (Continuity)

Maturity – Incense Altar – Resurrection body/no cuts!
‘And if you make Me an altar of stone,
…..you shall not build it of hewn stone;
……….for if you use your tool on it,
……………you have profaned it.

Conquest – Day of Coverings
‘Nor shall you go up by steps to My altar,
……….that your nakedness (Passover)
……………may not be exposed on it.’ (Firstfruits must FACE God)

(Not really sure how to break this last one up.)

Well, we are at the end of chapter 20, so I guess this particular structure continues with Tabernacles, the contents of the household.
