Incorporating the New

Por Todd Beiswenger

There's an old saying that says, "When the student is ready the master will appear." The idea is that the student must incorporate everything they've already been taught into their life before the next master will come to teach them the next steps. We see something similar in the Word, where Jesus opens the eyes of Peter, James and John to a new spiritual reality, but now they have a difficult time trying to synthesize what they've just been taught with everything they've always believed. (note - Todd offers his apologies for an error; where he mistakenly says in this audio that the "spiritual serves the natural"... he meant to say, "natural serves the spiritual.")

7383. 'Over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools' means against falsities. This is clear from the meaning of Egypt's 'rivers' and 'streams' as teachings that consist of falsity, dealt with in 7323; and from the meaning of 'pools' as factual knowledge that is subservient to those teachings, dealt with in 7324. Accordingly, falsities are what are meant by 'rivers, streams, and pools'.
