    Isa.66.7 Man child (1 of 4)

    " Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child"

    Soul is helpless as a child and signifies the Man component in the fellowship of God with Man. Evocative of the woman clothed with the Sun what travail has Zion to do with the labour. Zion is a destination which translating from the world unseen into the light the question of darkness has to be dealt with, and the emblem of the Lamb slain has to prepare a body which shall honour the Son as precious as he is in His sight. As Zechariah says his Son is his soul. "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye." Israel is first conceived in his mind. So Law of the Spirit is not what is plucked out of thin air but the rest in which He takes delight. "Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.(Zec.2.6; Isa.33.20)

    Jerusalem referred in the context is to them, "your brethren that hated you out and cast you out" refers to the darkness and Isaiah is defending apple of His eye so headdresses them in these words,"Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.(66.5). Isaiah refers to the enemies to Christ,'And they shall be ashamed.'

    It is thus Zion becomes the bone of contention between generation of Jesus Christ against the wicked and adulterous generation.

    "Before the pain came' explains the role faith has played. By the word of God the worlds were framed so the Covenant in seven days groups His tabernacle in heaven. The Man component in a believer signifies his soul, God's gift
