Expose’ of 1Kings2v19—21
You will notice that if you are not clued, the Bible seems to be a book of endless stories. The stories are meant for the natural man/unbeliever/man without the Spirit of God. In between the lines, is a
mystery, safely put away by God, only for His children to access. Remember, the Bible is a love-letter from God to His children. Only with the help of the Holy Spirit are we able to extrapolate the
message hidden.
[Proverbs25v2] It is the glory of God to conceal the matter; but the glory of kings to search out the matter.
[Matthew13v10—13] And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” (11) He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given for you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. (12) For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be
taken away from him. (13) Therefore. I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
Paul puts it this way – [1Corintians2v12—15] Now, we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may know the things which have been freely given to us by God.
(13) These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with the spiritual. (14) But the natural man does not receive the
things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them, because they are Spiritually discerned. (15) But he who is spiritual judges all things, but he himself is rightly judged by
no one. (16) But who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Expose ’of 1Kings2v19—21
(19) Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please notice that the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad and the ground barren.” (20) And he said, “Bring me a new
bowl and put salt in it.” So, they brought it to him. (21) Then he went to the source of the water, and cast in the salt there, and said, “I have healed the water; from it there shall be no more death or
barrenness.” (21) So, the water remains healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
The city = ministry (church/bride of Christ). – [Revelation21v2] Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride, adorned for her husband.
Men = the church (people/God’s house) – [1Peter2v5] you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus
Christ.
