The bible was written in Hebrew (Old Testament) and the New Testament was written in Greek. If you study biblical history, you will understand that the Hebrew culture and the Hebrew people understood God in terms of the events that they encountered in their lives. They taught and understood God and His messages to them through allegorical methods. It was in their culture and this way of thinking was passed down their generation. This is why the parables and stories of Jesus are not only logical but are more importantly allegorical. This was consistent with Hebrew understanding and culture. Without having an understanding of how the Hebrew people thought and the culture in which it operated in will lead us to grossly misunderstood many truths that God wants to reveal to us.

We are living in a new eion where God is restoring truths. For truths to be restored or even for mysteries to unveil to us, it would mean going back to understanding the Hebrew culture and the context in which the bible was written. For instance in the Hebrew culture, the word “eternity” or “forever and ever” was never in their thought process and culture. They understood scriptural terms and saw them in cycles of time from one generation to the next. Each time a cycle of time (eion) occurs, the same truth was presented by God to them but was more redefined or developed, progressive in nature. This was how truth was passed down through the ages. If we understand this, we will understand how they would interpret scriptures from an allegorical perspective than we would. It was the Greeks who were advocates of logic and rational thinking. Apostle Paul evangelised the Greek world and when they became Christians, they attempted to interpret the scriptures based on their philosophical culture of reasoning and logic which was the hallmark of their culture. The fallacy of this approach is that they overlooked and grossed over many mysteries and truths in the bible because of their cultural beliefs.

But the good news is that in this last days God is raising sons of Zion who are purveyors of revelation (not reason). The Spirit of Revelation and Knowledge unveils the scriptures in a new light that the parables, allegorical meanings, symbols and stories are allegorical in nature and contain gems that will propel the corporate Church to new levels of growth and maturity.
