The Laodicean Message - E.H. “Jack” Sequeira

God in those who have faith. And he goes on in
verse 24:
These things may be taken figuratively, for the
women represent two covenants. One covenant is
from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be
slaves: This is Hagar.
Why Mount Sinai? Because when God gave
the law at mount Sinai, what did the Jews say?
“All that You say we will do.” That was the old
covenant, man promising God to be good. Did
they succeed? No. And when they failed, did they
acknowledge it? No, instead they made rules,
human rules that they could keep, and they said,
“God, we are keeping your law.” And Paul goes

Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia
and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem,
because she is in slavery with her children.

Galatians 5:1:
