    Annotated Gen.19.17 "Forward"

    "And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee."

    God sent two angels which is how the word of God works. "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."(Ps.107.20). Israelies would bring down the walls of Jericho by obeying the command to the letter. They are to move forward and not by fits and starts. Naaman has to follow the full course in order to be healed of his leprosy.

    "And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:"(Exod.14.15) The Spirit instructs us with the disobedient prophet who was slain by a lion. ""And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:/For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest."( 1 Kgs 13.8-9) This full circle or the Word circular as seen in the instance was one full circle, (chs 12-13) It follows the sign set about the tabernacle for the sun."His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."(Ps.19.6) Abraham by faith was entering into the covenant as was in heaven where the Word was God. He called him and he followed believing, "dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:/For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. "(Heb.11.9-10) So the city in question was fulfilling this part of the Word circular, where 'the same was in the beginning with God. In short Abraham fulfilled for what he was apprehended of and as the double for his Son. This is redemption of his soul would signify." but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus
