Spoke 6
Romans 6  Death of Christ
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been
planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness
of his resurrection:
Romans 6
The God-given insight into the supernatural design of Holy Scripture revealed by the Wheel never
ceases to amaze me. I sat down today (5/6/03) with no idea what I should work on,
so I simply asked the Lord for direction. As usual, all my hairs lifted as
He annointed me with His Holy Spirit and I knew what to write. I opened Romans 6 and read the
verses quoted above while
holding my mind on the meaning revealed on Spoke 6 of the Bible Wheel. Immediately, the
theme of his death and burial lept out at me since I had already written articles relating
to these ideas, such as the link between Isaiah 50 and Philippians
(Book 50, cf. [Inner Wheels] > The Humilation of Christ) and
the relation between His crucifixion and the Number 6 as discussed in
The Sixth Hour and Revelation 6.
I therefore searched for the phrase ("his death") [Verify] and found that it occurs 19 times in the KJV,
with the last two occurrences being in Romans 6 and Philippians on Spoke 6, Cycle 3. Here is the
context of the last occurrence of the phrase "his death" (Philippians 3.8f):
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of
all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but
that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by
faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of
his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Immediately, the reference to "his resurrection" lept out, and I knew, before even checking, that I had
discovered yet another |
