The draft of The Covenant Key is complete, and has been sent to faithful hounds to pick apart (including Travis, who could never pass for Granny with those admirable gnashers). If all goes according to plan, it should be edited, printed and available mid-June.

The Seven Seals
A wise Christian once observed that there is one single factor that differentiates between the saint who grows in Christ and the saint who doesn’t. It is desire.
We see the same thing in the Trinity, and this brings us to the expansion of the five-fold Covenant pattern into the seven-fold Bible Matrix. The Son is divided as bread and wine to open a space for the Spirit to fill. It is a new mission, a New Covenant. But He is the Covenant Head awaiting a Covenant Body; His personal holiness awaits a corporate holiness, a legacy in history of a thousand generations.
So, the Covenant Scroll, in the right hand of Jesus, as Word in flesh, has five points, yet it has seven seals.
As it plays out in history, as the Spirit forms and fills a Body, the Covenant Creation has seven points. This is because there is a death-and-resurrection for the Covenant Body at the centre of the pattern. The Ethics—the Terms and Conditions, the Law of the Covenant—is split into three.
Under the Ethics section of the Covenant, we have the Covenant Head filled with the Law, the Covenant Body filled with the Law, and the Spirit of the Law at the centre, at Pentecost. Just as the Covenant Head was divided to send the Spirit, so the Covenant Body is divided to receive the Spirit. Pentecost always cuts Judah in two.
The singular seed falls into the ground, dying under the Law, and is harvested as a plural body. Adam is divided for the construction of Eve.
