Pageau continues with a couple of specific prophetic passages in Scripture, showing how the symbols explained so far can give meaning to perplexing revelations. In the case of Daniel’s vision of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue dream, we see the confused image of the statue that was not all one material, but a hybrid of various substances. It…

Mindwar is the Real Fight
Over and over again: The real conflict we face is informational. It’s not about the boots on the ground, nor the bodies lying in trenches. Those are but the symptoms. Were it not for the lies, those boots and bodies would be at home. Orwell’s vision was a kindergarten party compared to the “Orwellian” lies…
Discretion versus Confusion
In the Hebrew culture, the concept of holiness and purity was mostly a matter of separation. Something or someone was pulled apart from the common, high traffic use and reserved for God alone. This carries forward from the previous lesson on Pageau’s book in which we talked about the mixing of the flood and simplicity…

Our instinct is to inject that into everything we think, do and say. It infests our struggle to understand God’s Word the way He intended. This mental frame of…
Overwhelming Forces
So far, my reading in Pageau’s The Language of Genesis is consistent with what I spent five decades learning about the biblical Hebrew metaphysics. Like Heiser, he brings a stronger and broader knowledge of things I could see only in glimpses, bits and pieces through the veil of human frailty. These men were appointed by…

There’s always a bridge between above and below. It varies with the context, but the whole point is the call and response. Heaven calls; the earth…
Above and Below
In Pageau’s The Language of Creation, the author is at pains to establish the duality of above and below. It can be expressed as heaven and earth, or seed and soil, enlightenment and obedience, or any number of other pairs. This is consistent with the Radix Fidem teaching of Two Realms, or Heiser’s Unseen Realm…
