{The Word of Love and Law}[2nd January 1990]

 [Redbook7:6-7][19900102:2218]{The Word of Love and Law}[2nd January 1990]

.2218

‘The term “Word of Yahweh” has special significance for the understanding of the prophetic message. It is used both of the message of Yahweh which comes to a prophet and is delivered by him, and also the divine activity whereby the world is created and sustained, the events of history are controlled and nations are delivered or judged. Indeed the word dābhār itself means etymologically both “saying” or “message” and “event” or “thing”.

– Peake’s Commentary on the Bible, 1962,

II.2c

– which shows that my difficulty with St John’s identification* of the Word with Christ is based on a false ‘fit’, on the circle, of the Word with God’s Law, ie initiating Outer Circle rotation. The Word is at C, [+C†I~], and is/becomes both Love and Law:
