Galatians 4:22-29 “For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. (bondage to sin)
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.”
This allegory speaks of the 2 spiritual seeds (2 sons) Ishmael and Isaac. The first was born of the "flesh", the other was born again from above by the "Holy Spirit". The children of the bondwoman are under the law of sin or in bondage to sin.
It also speaks of 2 Covenants (one earthly, the other heavenly)
It also speaks of 2 spiritual Jerusalem's (one earthly, one heavenly)
In the beginning of Galatians 4:1-7 Paul speaks of those who shall be heirs of "the promise", who were once in bondage “under the elements of the world.”(or under sin) Paul then says Christ came to redeem those who were under the law that they might receive the adoption of sons. But what law was Paul talking about when he said under "the elements" of the world? Paul was talking about "the law of sin", as Paul was also using Jesus’ testimony to show the 2 spiritual seeds, or 2 sons. (one flesh/one Spirit)
Notice Jesus words in John 8:34-36 “Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
Now notice what Paul say here in Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
These 2 laws have to do with the 2 spirits and also 2 mindsets, which also speaks of the 2 seeds (carnally minded vs.spiritually minded)
In the above allegory we see 2 sons, which represent the 2 spiritual seeds---> Genesis 3:15 (first flesh/ the other Spirit) Those who are "of" this world (under the elements of this world) are of the "flesh",(serpents seed) and are also under the bondage of sin (children of the bondwoman)= earthly Jerusalem. (=Harlot, false tabernacle) enjoined to the Body of the Beast by the same spirit. (from all peoples, nations, and tongues)
The children of Promise are those who are born again from above of the Holy Spirit, (not of this world) but are of the Jerusalem from above= Heavenly Jerusalem (Bride of the Lamb) = Faithful Church= Body
of Christ (which is made up of all peoples, nations, and tongues) enjoined by One Spirit.
The bondwoman’s children= (earthly Jerusalem) is in bed with the kings of the earth= corrupted by the ways of the world= “great city”= (Mystery Babylon) = Synagogue of Satan (made up of many members, from all peoples, nations, and tongues)
Notice in Galatians 4:25 Paul says Arabia answers to the Jerusalem which is now, which means these serve the "law of sin".
The word Arabia means “desert, desolate or barren”
This speaks of not bearing good fruit 2 Peter 1:8 “For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be "barren" nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Only those who "hear", "understand" and "abide in" the words of God can bear good fruit. Matthew 13:23 “But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
But the children of the curse (Zechariah 5:8-11) are the wicked and adulterous generation who are unable to cease from sin. 2 Peter 2:14 “Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:”
These are those who love the world, and are in bed with "the ways" of the world. 1 John 2:15 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:16 “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
James 4:4 “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
So those who are in bed with, or in love with "the ways of the world", are of the Harlot “Mystery Babylon” system.
Just as those who swear falsely by the Lords name are called the hypocrites, brood of vipers, serpents, wicked and adulterous generation, seed of evil doers, natural brute beasts, children of hell etc.
And again Arabia means “desert, desolate, barren” Job 15:34 “For the congregation of hypocrites shall be "desolate", and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.”
Jeremiah 12:10 “Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a "desolate" wilderness.”
Ezekiel 14:15 “If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be "desolate", that no man may pass through because of the beasts:”
So you’re either made a good tree, or a bad, you are either of the flesh, or of the Spirit.
John 3:6-7“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
What did Paul conclude in Galatians 4:30-31 “Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.”
What did Peter say in 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” And again Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:50 “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”
John 1:12-13 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Peace and God bless
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
