Pay Close Attention to The Way That Woman Walks
This is the fourth in a series of articles that explain the nature and
purpose of the Hebrew Scriptures. It builds on information presented in the January, April and July 1997 issues as well as the January 1998 issue. It explains the basic parabolic imagery standing behind the parables in the Book
of Proverbs (which should actually be called “The Book of Parables”). It touches briefly on the Hebrew idiom “build a house.”
The Forecast
The purpose of this column is to explain various weather-related parabolic
images that relate to the Last Days and the Second Coming of
Jesus Christ. This edition contains a fairly extensive explanation of what the Prophets had in mind when they used the parabolic image of the “wind.”
