The Most Important Teachings About Order
By Rev. Prescott A. Rogers
And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. (Genesis 1:31).
1. All order is from the Lord.
2. It exists in all of creation, spiritual and natural.
3. Disorder is the perversion of order, and it exists in hell and in the world.
4. Order is a matter of essence, having to do with love and wisdom, and of form.
Say
As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.
