The Three Sisters
As stated earlier, Ezekiel prophesied that the three religions would become one. The prophecy is in the form of an parable of three sisters. The parable is in chapter 16. God is speaking to the middle aged sister. He first speaks of her nativity and how he nurtured her and she became beautiful and ready to be wed. She then trusted in her beauty and became a harlot. When the three sisters return to their former estate, the older and younger sisters will be given to the middle aged sister as daughters, but not according to her covenant. They will transform and converge (transverge), becoming one.
Some main points from the parable:
Ezekiel speaks of three sisters, addressing the middle aged sister. Eze. 16:45, 46
There are three major religions who share at least some Scriptures. The Church is the middle aged.
The middle aged sister is born out of her older sister. Eze. 16:4, 51
The Church was born out of Israel, her older sister.
Her naval wasn’t cut, indicating that there was a continuing nourishment from her mother, her older sister. Eze. 16:4
The Church used the same Scriptures and worshiped the same God as her mother and older sister, Israel.
God caused her to multiply and become great. She matured and He made a covenant with her, taking her as wife. Eze. 16:7, 8
God caused the Church to multiply and become great. She matured and He made a covenant with her, taking her as wife.
God clothed her and adorned her with ornaments and a crown. He fed her. She became exceedingly beautiful and prospered into a kingdom. She became known for her perfect beauty. Eze. 16:10-14
God clothed the Church with doctrines and a crown. He fed her. She became very attractive and prospered into a kingdom, known for her perfect beauty.
She commits harlotry against God, which would be taking doctrines of men over the Word of God. Eze. 16:15 -
The Church has taken doctrines of men over the Word of God
She took the jewels of gold and silver that God gave her and made images of men and committed whoredom with them. Eze. 16:17
The Church took God’s precepts and made doctrines for men to teach her.
She built high places in every street. Eze. 16:24, 25
The Church built a church in every street.
She was contrary from other whores in that she paid them rather than receiving rewards. Eze. 16:33, 34
The churches pay their pastors for teaching them doctrines of men.
She didn’t mention her younger sister in the day of her pride. Eze. 16:56
The Church didn’t recognize the Muslims as her sister in the day of her pride.
She repents of her harlotry and the younger and older sisters are given to her as daughters, but not according to her covenant. Eze. 16:60, 61
When the Church repents and is transfigured, the Jews and Muslims will be transfigured and given to her as daughters, but not according to her covenant. It will be by the old covenant made anew. When they each understand by eating from the Tree of Life, they will become one.
The parable continues in chapter 23 where the two older sisters are given other symbolic names. They were both wives of God, in their own time. Israel was wife of God, and the Church is to be wife of Jesus. The third sister, younger than the Church, has the same father in order to be a sister.
Abraham is father to Israel. The Church claims Abraham as father through faith. The Muslims claim Abraham as father through Ishmael. Paul said that Sarah and Hagar were an allegory. That means that Abraham was an allegory. The Jews, Christians, and Muslims are sisters through not understanding the allegory of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar.
To read parables like this without understanding, and according to the teachings of those who don't understand, is to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This is why there have been three sisters rather than one people in truth through understanding. To read with understanding is to eat from the Tree of Life. The Bible is full of these parables and allegories.
If you agree with these things, I invite you to join me in promulgating them. If you feel that these things might be so, let's take it to others to see what they think. If we can form a group of like-minded people, at some point it may get the attention of those who do't have any reason to give any consideration now.
