ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOBSymbolic of the Higher Triad active within the soul; or a dim reflection of the Divine principle in the lower nature in its highest aspect. " Just men made perfect, ' that is, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ' brought to their perfection , and whose names consequently are now , ' Father , ' 'Son , ' and Holy Ghost '-" JOHN WARD ,Zion's Works ,Vol .V. p. 271. “Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob are types of the divine life in man , manifesting itself in the spirit , in the understanding , and in the body respectively ;-for this is only another way of saying that they are the spirit of faith , of sonship , and of service for sonship is the bringing of the divine life into our understanding , and service is bringing it into our outward and bodily acts ;-and this cannot be done at once , but by degrees and successively . Sonship is come ,when the things which are in the spirit are in the understanding also . Service is come , when the things which have been in the understanding are seen in the body and wrought outwardly . Each of these , then , is the same elect spirit , only seen different stages of its development , and taking at each stage a different form , by which the same One Spirit may show itself in its sevenfold variety . The same Spirit of God shows variously through the different mental atmospheres which are furnished by the successive stages of man's development. " - AND . JUKES , The Types of Genesis , pp . 250-1. "Mr. Worsley's notion respecting the Patriarchs briefly is, that Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob , 'present to us the eternal triune object of worship ,- Father ,Son ,and Holy Ghost. "- P.FAIRBAIRN ,The Typology of Scripture ,Vol .I. p.25. |
