The Most Important Teachings About Order

By Rev. Prescott A. Rogers

Christ driving the money-changers from the temple

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.

Commentary

 

Gathered together, waters

  

In Exodus 15:8, this signifies falsities gathered together. Waters normally signify truths, but in this case, where they were blocking the escape of the Children of Israel from slavery and signify the opposite: falsities.
