Yep, these matrix tools actually work. So far they seem to be good rules, but capable of amazing variety – like the Mandelbrot set:

There’s that Peter Leithart quote in the first book about Eve not being created but “constructed.” And as a “Step 5″ it prefigured resurrection, the spiritual or “bridal” body.

Glad it’s a blessing.

This may be slightly off topic, but I’ve been making a lot of connections after reading the first matrix book and the blog. I’m on the second book, thanks again! One connection I made was while listening to a well known radio pastor who pointed out that the word for God taking the rib from Adam to “build” Eve meant “to cause to thrive/flourish” and also “to rebuild”. (you may want to check for yourself I haven’t look in my Strong’s yet) Then he noted that it was the same word used “to rebuild” the Nehemiah’s CITY walls! That zapped me right between the eyes. This eschatology still baffles me a little bit, but for quite sometime I have made it my focus to “remain teachable” i.e. the [teachable] shall inherit the earth. And like you said time will tell. Regardless,this is edifying stuff.

Yep – it’s Adam and Eve (Adam smells like roasting meat but Eve smells like perfume) but it’s also the natural and the spiritual, childhood and adulthood, circumcision and baptism and all the other two-part processes I outline in The Covenant Key. Adam is outside the house in the field and Eve is inside the tent. We see it in Esau and Jacob, too.

As for bread and wine, yes, childhood and adulthood. Wine is kingdom, which means Adam has qualified as a self-sacrificial ruler. Jordan makes a big deal of the feasting and drinking in the very bridal book of Esther, for instance. Ahaseurus wasn’t the impetuous drunk everyone thinks he was.

The bronze altar gets bloodied. The saints were slain on the Altar-Land. But the only blood on the Incense Altar is blood brought inside and put on the horns as a memorial. That’s our New Covenant Lord’s Table. It’s bridal, “resurrection,” so He used risen (leavened) bread as only He could.

If you haven’t got Covenant Key, it’s outlined in there, including bread and wine as the two trees in Eden and the two pillars of the Temple. And it’s all traced back to Jordan’s “From Bread to Wine.”
