In an age of UNIVERSAL DECEPTION, telling the TRUTH becomes a REVOLUTIONARY ACT! But be ASSURED that the Sword of Truth and Justice which proceeds from the Mouth of God is MIGHTIER than the Sword of criminal VIOLENCE in the hands of his enemies!
The Ten Commandments
Many have heard the Law of God summarized as "Love God" and "Love your neighbor" (from Deut. 6:4 & Lev. 9:18, tied together by Jesus in Mat. 22:37-40, Mk. 12:29-33). But when men are deceived to serve a Spirit of Deception as their God and they DECEIVE OTHERS to do likewise, how can we tell the difference between these TWO opposing manifestations of what LOVE should look like? This question is at the FOUNDATION of the accounts of Mat. 19:16-17 and Lk. 10:25-28 (where Jesus EXPRESSLY RESPONDED to the question of "what must one do to enter into Eternal Life?" with "Keep the Commandments of God"!). Thus we will be EXPOSING those who call Him "Lord" but DO NOT OBEY HIM (Lk. 6:46) as "Lawless Ones" (anomia in Greek); religious HYPOCRITES serving Satan as their god (Mat. 7:22) and not only LAWLESS but teaching others through DECEPTION to be LAWLESS in direct OPPOSITION to Jesus' own teachings which they TWIST to their own destruction (Mat. 5:19).
So we will be taking a look at the Spiritual Application of these laws, particularly the 5th and the 4th in that order, to identify Two opposing "Spirits" served as "God" over 2 distinct Spiritual "Houses" or Kingdoms. One is a spirit of Deception over a spiritual world "house" of Death and Corruption through hypocrisy and selfish greed called "Mystery Babylon". The other is the Spirit of Truth ruling over His Spiritual Kingdom of Life and Peace in altruistic righteousness when we OBEY HIM.
So in this study we will be unpacking those Two Commands by taking a look at the Ten Commandments which themselves are a sort of "summary" of the PRACTICAL FLESHING OUT of what it means to "Love God" and "Love your neighbor" by identifying the "Spirit" ruling over the "house". The purpose of course is for their practical application as the foundation for child rearing in God's Kingdom. So we will be taking a look at them primarily from their Spiritual perspective in order for Spiritual Men to "Come of Age" to establish God's Kingdom "House Rules" on earth according to His Plan, because carnal men serving a Spirit of Deception through Hypocrisy simply CAN NOT DO IT and in fact ACTIVELY OPPOSE these "House Rules" of God being established on earth which will expose their CRIMES by which they hold God's Children in BONDAGE, and will therefore destroy the "House of Bondage" called "Mystery Babylon" in which ALL MANKIND has been enslaved, as God told us would happen (Rev. 18:1-4, Dan. 2:31-45).
Establishing God's House rules on earth is the Spiritual WORK of God prepared IN ADVANCE for His Children to do BY FAITH when, as a UNITED BODY, they come of Age to INHERIT the Kingdom Promises. This is SPIRITUAL WORK which ONLY those who have been "Born from above" in God's "Image" are ABLE and CREATED to DO (Eph. 2:10). It's the VERY PURPOSE for the Creation of Men in God's "Image"!
So we will be focusing primarily on the 5th Commandment, which is the highest level that can be achieved by God's children in a spiritual "house" which is ruled over by hypocrites serving a DECEIVING SPIRIT as their God over the spiritual world "house" of bondage; until God's Children "come of age" to INHERIT the Kingdom Promise. Through the spiritual application of the Fifth Commandment we will tie to the 1st Commandment as the End Goal of the Law which that "Rich Young Ruler" was unwilling to serve in sincerity and Truth, we shall see the "Image of YHWH God" as our Heavenly "Father and Mother" we are to honor above all other authorities which IS the "Messiah" Jesus came to SHOW US through his OBEDIENCE to His COMMANDMENTS (Rom. 10:1-4, Jn. 5:46-47).
We will see that Jesus ties the 5th Commandment to the Biblical Concept of being "Born From Above" after seeing the "IMAGE" of God's Righteousness of His Kingdom as the Passover Sabbath "Cornerstone" of God's correctly interpreted "Word of Truth", as King David had understood and was "born from above" before the "Word of Truth" was ever PERFECTLY enfleshed by Jesus to show us this "Cornerstone" perspective of God's Word of Truth. That "Rich Young Ruler" was NOT WILLING to HONOR the TRUE SPIRIT of God as His "Father" (Mat. 19:19), neither was the Hypocrite Lawyer (Lk. 10:29).
The following list of the Ten Commandments has been extracted and distilled from the two separate (and in the case of numbers 4 & 9, slightly differing) lists found in Exodus 20:1-17 & Deut. 5:6-21.
1. I Am YHWH...You shall have no authority in front of me.
2. Do not create an Idol for yourself.
3. Do not lift the name of YHWH vainly.
4. Remember & Observe the Holy Sabbath.
5. Honor your Father and your Mother.
6. Do not murder.
7. Do not commit adultery.
8. Do not steal.
9. Do not bear false or destructive testimony.
10. Do not covet the possessions of others.
Practical Application
It seems useful to view the Ten Commandments as stages in the development of one's Spiritual Growth with the Goal of becoming an IMAGE BEARER in God's Spiritual "House" or Kingdom. One may look at the Ten as a sort of spiritual staircase which, beginning from the ground with Commandment number Ten, which is the first one which carnal parents usually begin teaching their carnal children in the form of "legal possession" of "toys". For example they may teach this principle by saying something like: "You have your own toys, don't desire to also have your brother's toys", etc. And these basic principles are to be shared, taught, and supported, in a greater surrounding community of families as a sort of "House Rule" for a civil society.
Failure to instill these basic lessons and principles in a child properly could lead to their inability to progress to be able to keep the rest in a civil societal "House". They would essentially become lawless sociopaths or psychopaths as blights on a civil society and as HOUSE DESTROYERS might try to CONSPIRE TOGETHER to enslave society to themselves as the "House Authorites" (Narcissistic Tyrants serving Satan's Spirit as their "God" and building "Mystery Babyl" to OPENLY SUPPLANT GOD). And a civil society that ends up being controlled by such Narcissists who do not follow these precepts, these principles will NOT be supported and instructed to instill these prinicples through their societal rules for their children to observe...they are HYPOCRITES who believe they are ABOVE ANY LAW they make to ENSLAVE God's children by.
Such a "Social House" in REBELLION to these principles from ABOVE, CAN NEVER order their house in such a way that the children within it are able to progress up the ladder of righteousness to the more SPIRITUAL LAWS regarding a truly "FREE SOCIETY" (which is the Goal of the Law from above). They would never become Spiritual Men/Women formed in God's Image of Righteousness, but would be held as captives to CARNAL MEN as SPIRITUAL SLAVES of "Satan's House" and suffering in a LAWLESS SOCIETY ruled by PSYCHOPATHS and SOCIOPATHS under the CURSE of Rebellion to the Law and its RIGHTEOUS GOAL of God's Kingdom House, which all men are to Honor and serve as King in a FREE SOCIETY (where FREE SPEECH and the RESPONSIBILITY to CORRECT those who transgress these SPIRITUAL PRINICIPLES as an INTEGRAL Member of such a FREE SOCIETY serving God as King is REQUIRED, even unto DEATH if need be; as we shall see Jesus EXEMPLIFIED for us as God's Perfect "IMAGE", as Planned to establish these "House Rules" from above, on earth below).
So beginning with that lesson, carnal children are GUIDED primarily by their parents (who themselves are part of a social structure of "authorities" in a bigger "house", if you will) to ascend UP the wrungs of the "ladder of righteousness" to the number One Command as the Righteous "End Goal of the Law" where nothing and/or no one stands between one's self and God's "IMAGE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS" in His Spiritual "House" (Rom. 10:1-4, Jn. 5:46-47). Those are God's Spiritual "House Rules". Until one acheives that "End Goal" of the Law, they will be held accountable to the law through other "authorities" in the "house", beginning with their earthly parents, as their role models and teachers who GUIDE US on this "straight and narrow" path up this Staircase where there is no one and nothing between us and God. This would lead to a RIGHTEOUS SOCIETY where men were FREE to live in PEACE pursuing HAPPINESS in God's Spiritual House on earth.
But as I explain in my home page, mankind is currently ENSLAVED in a spiritual "house" of DECEPTION serving a Spirit of Rebellion as their God, and Jeremiah 16:19-21 and Rev. 18:1-4 tell us that one day, after they see the "Light of Truth", ALL the people of the world will one day recognize that their AUTHORITIES, beginning with their own parents, had OPPOSED the TRUTH of GOD and that their feigned obedience to Him was at best done in IGNORANCE through their VAIN and FALSE "traditions" which they were born into in his spiritual "house" opposed to the TRUE Spirit of YHWH God through DECEPTION of spiritual warfare; as Jesus himself rebukes when quoting Isaiah 29:13 as follows:
Their hearts are far from me as they worship me in vain. Through their traditions they do away with God's Commandments and teach the Commandments of Men as their Doctrine. Mat. 15:8, Lk. 7:6
The Fifth Commandment is that pivotal place which comes in a carnal child's life when they realize they are no longer accountable to their earthly carnal parents and their "authority structure" and their earthly spiritual "house rules" serving a spirit of deception in REBELLION to God and His Spiritual Kingdom "House Rules" (even if simultaneously deceived to think they are), but rather they will become OBEDIENT to their Heavenly "parents" who give them "Birth from Above" as the "Cornerstone Light" and "IMAGE" of God over God's Spiritual Kingdom "House" as their SUPREME AUTHORITY, for which the "Word of Truth" came to show us (if you have not yet done so, please see this page to understand the full meaning of that statement regarding our "Heavenly Parents"; the "Righteous Father", His "Wisdom" our "Mother", and the "Son", the "Word of Truth" who came as the "Light of the World" to show us God's Perfect "Image", before proceeding further ).
Since ancient times this pivotal place has been recognized as a "Rite of Passage" where a child becomes an adult, known also today as "Bar Mitzvah" for young men (or Bat Mitzvah for young women), literally meaning "Son/daughter of the Commandment" and practically meaning: "Now Responsible to God" as one's "Father" in His "House". Because of the various DECEPTIONS attempting to control the "narratives" the "children" are EVER even ALLOWED TO HEAR in a spiritual kingdom of DECEPTIONS (truth being the arch enemy of such a "state" of deception), most do not understand that we see Jesus going through this transitional "Rite of Passage" beginning in Luke 2:42. Jesus (like Isaac before him) was born at the time that came to be codified as "Passover" to speak all about his being born and sacrificed as THE PASSOVER LAMB of God (for which Isaac's obedience to be bound as a sacrifice by Father Abraham on his "birthday" on Mt. Moriah was an instructional pattern), as I discuss in detail throughout the pages of this website (like this one, or this one, and also this one). We see in that account beginning in Luke 2:42 that Jesus is coming to Jerusalem for Passover as a 12 year old boy subject to his carnal parents "house rules" as primary, but he leaves as a Spiritual "Man" now subject to the Heavenly Father's "House rules" as PRIMARY. Jesus enfleshed the "Spiritual DNA" of the Father's "Word of Truth" AND His Spirit of Wisdom as his "Mother" which GAVE LIFE to the "Word of Truth", and was GLORIFIED for his own OBEDIENCE in HONORING THEM so that we could RECOGNIZE the PERFECT IMAGE of God according to His Plan to SAVE and RULE the world and be "BORN FROM ABOVE" to Honor them as our Spiritual Parents.
He was obviously Bar Mitzvah'd to become a "Son of the Commandment" to serve God and His "House Rules" as PRIMARY, as indicated by the events of the account itself. Jesus is being questioned by the members of the Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem because he showed EXEMPLARY WISDOM of the scriptures as a "Bar Mitzvah". One might say he was recognized as the "Summa Cum Laude" of his class, which astonished even his own parents that he would be in that position among the LEADERS of their society as a mere "boy".
So if Jesus was not expressly responding to his parents IMPLIED ACCUSATION of disobedience with a gentle CORRECTION when he said: "Didn't you KNOW that I would be obeying my Father's business?" then this account not only paints him as disobedient but also INSOLENTLY DISRESPECTFUL! But as a child who had previously ALWAYS been obedient and honorable toward his parents, and having been given such an honorable position among the leaders of Jerusalem, they were left to ponder his response so that WE COULD ALL LEARN from this account of God's Son and emulate him as the PERFECT IMAGE of God our Father which he came to SHOW US...and this is the VERY FIRST PLACE he shows us.
Clearly he's teaching OBEDIENCE to God as his "Father" and UNDERSCORING the CONCEPT that as a Bar Mitzvah one becomes PERSONALLY ACCOUNTABLE to God's "House rules" and no longer under the rules of their "carnal house" as PRIMARY (ESPECIALLY if the rules of their carnal house are in opposition to God's House Authority because ALL AUTHORITIES are to be SUBJECT TO HIM as the Supreme Authority from which ANY authority is LEGITIMATELY derived). This is what should be gleaned from this account. Any other interpretation would make his actions and response to their expectations as nothing less than DISHONORABLE to them AND to God and therefore he CAN NOT be the "Perfect Image" of YHWH God as our "Father" as the "Promised Seed" of God [as the account of Isaac's "miraculous birth" as a "Promised Seed" and his obedience to be bound as a "Passover Sacrifice" on Mt. Moriah by Father Abraham is only a PATTERN by which we could understand the End GOAL of God's House Rules which would be codified later by Moses to speak ALL ABOUT HIM who would PERFECTLY ENFLESH the "Word of Truth" as God's "Son" to be GLORIFIED at His Right Hand (Jn. 5:46-47, Rom. 10:1-4, Ps. 110 & 119:89)]!
But his verbal response to their expectation is a gentle reminder to them regarding the TRANSITIONAL RITE OF PASSAGE as a Bar Mitzvah, which requires him to be obedient to the RIGHTEOUS God ABOVE ANY OTHER AUTHORITY, especially an authority which is IN REBELLION to God's RIGHTEOUSNESS. In God's House children are SUBJECT to the authorites which God places over them, Children are NOT teach the scriptures but LEARN and APPLY them. But a Bar Mitzvah is no longer a child and is REQUIRED to begin TEACHING what he's learned in order to seek the position in God's House which is fit for him as a RESPONSIBLE ADULT and a "Light" for God's House community. That's God's "House Rule" which Jesus is AFFIRMING through his OBEDIENCE to God as his "Father". So clearly that is what this account beginning in Luke 2:42 is all about. So after making his point and correcting their wrong assumption, and since they were not asking him to disobey God as the Great Father to whom all parents, adults, and ALL other "authorities" are to themselves be subject, he submits himself to their will and returns with them to their earthly house.
This carnal "Rite of Passage" called "Bar/Bat Mitzvah", when understood through Jesus' instruction regarding God's Spiritual House, is not JUST a "carnal tradition of men" but it actually SYMBOLIZES a SPIRITUAL TRANSITION of "authority" and RESPONSIBILITY which the Fifth Commandment also reflects. One could say that the first 5 commandments (from the ground up beginning with # 10) represent the carnal laws of sin and death (loving one's neighbor), and the last 5, beginning with being "born from above" with # 5, represent the Spiritual Laws of Life and Peace in God's House (loving God), and Jesus is clearly teaching us of the transition from obedience to carnal parents and "authorities" (who may ALL be in the DARKNESS of ignorance, sin and rebellion doing the best they can to "love god" while serving "authorities" in a spiritual "house" which is OPPOSED TO GOD, as indicated by Rev. 18:1-4 & Jer. 16:19-21) to becoming PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE to God in His Spiritual House through obedience to His House Rules, even if a REBELLIOUS PEOPLE in BONDAGE to serving the spirit of DECEPTION, sin, and death, may KILL YOU FOR IT! This is what Jesus came to show us through his EXAMPLE. So the traditional "rite of passage" called Bar Mitzvah has a significant Spiritual APPLICATION in regard to the Fifth Commandment as we PROGRESS UP the ladder of ACCOUNTABILITY to God as our "Father and Mother". This is what God's "Word of Truth" now established as King in Heaven forever according to the PLAN to establish God's Kingdom "House" on earth (Ps. 110, 119:89) has revealed to me, and I likewise share with you.
Even more specifically, Jesus references this transitional "Bar/Bat Mitzvah" as a SPIRITUAL REALITY regarding "authority" as being "Born from Above" in John 3:3-10. He basically tells us that one can NOT be "Born from Above" to SEE and ENTER God's Kingdom "House" (and therefore obey the "House Rules" of God as a Spiritual "Bar Mitzvah") without having first seen the "IMAGE" of God's Spirit who moved the pen of the prophets according to the rightly understood "CORNERSTONE TRUTH" of the "Word of Truth", which Interpretation Jesus ENFLESHED as the PERFECT IMAGE of Father God according to the only one true interpretation of God's Word, so that we may ALSO understand and be "Born of His Wisdom from Above". So until that event takes place, symbolized by Bar/Bat Mitzvah, carnal men and women are to remain subject to their earthly parental authorities. Until that event takes place, they simply CAN NOT PROGRESS up the ladder of God's commands to be accountable to Him Alone in His Spiritual House, even if they CLAIM they can and PRETEND to do so as spiritual SLAVES in spiritual BONDAGE to "Mystery Babylon". It is simply not spiritually possible for SLAVES in "Mystery Babylon" to COME OUT from their BONDAGE until they see the "Morningstar Light" of the Messiah according to God's Plan to set us FREE to serve Him as His Kings and Priests.
To underscore this point keep in mind that ALL of the rest of the Commandments going up this ladder have to do with serving the TRUE GOD as opposed to PRETENDING TO while serving a FALSE GOD beginning with the very next commandment up the ladder, the 4th. "Remembering" AND observing the TRUE Sabbath [for which the 3 Greatest Full Moon Sabbaths of Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles) speak SPECIFICALLY about Jesus as the "Passover Lamb", the "Pentecost Groom" of the Covenant, and the "Lord" who will be "Tabernacling" in and with His People in His Kingdom Come] which Jesus ESTABLISHED as "Lord of Sabbath" through his OBEDIENCE to the "PASSOVER SABBATH PLAN" as a SACRIFICE so that we could later RECOGNIZE that CORNERSTONE SABBATH TRUTH of God's Kingdom House Rules to UNITE US to come out from our BONDAGE to "Mystery Babylon" and its COUNTERFEIT SABBATH SYSTEM which has ENSLAVED THE WORLD in REBELLION to the CORNERSTONE TRUTH of God, as God told us in advance WOULD HAPPEN!
With the Destruction of the Temple and taking Israel into captivity 2000 years ago as God Promised (Hos. 5:14-6:2), the ENTIRE WORLD has been serving the Spirit of Deception and REBELLION to God and that 4TH COMMANDMENT as their "cornerstone" in spiritual DARKNESS, while all the time deceived and ASSUMING they were serving the true Spirit of YHWH God as their "Cornerstone" and "Lord" of His "Sabbath" Kingdom "House". It was INTENDED that ISRAEL would FORGET and only after they "REMEMBER" could they ever COME OUT from bondage to a COUNTERFEIT SABBATH to observe the TRUE SABBATH which God's Word has ESTABLISHED FOREVER through his OBEDIENCE as our KING!
The WHOLE WORLD has been ENSLAVED to the Spirit of REBELLION to God and his kings and priests serving him through DECEPTION and it is that spirit of deception which is being served as the "god" of this ENSLAVEMENT through their VAIN TRADITIONS and LIES, of which the "Sabbath" is the "CORNERSTONE LIE" of this spiritual "Prison House" (depicted by the Statue of Nebuchadnezzar in Dan. 2:31-45 and defined as "Mystery Babylon" in Rev. 18:1-4).
But according to the PLAN to SAVE THE WORLD, the TRUTH of "God's Word" established the Sabbath TRUTH of YHWH as his "Father" so that Lord of the Sabbath TRUTH can SET US FREE from our captivity to the SABBATH LIE and we can serve the TRUE SPIRIT of YHWH God according to His Plan when that SABBATH TRUTH exposes and SMASHES the kingdom of SPIRITUAL SABBATH LIES in which we were taken captive. God codified the "Sabbath" to speak ALL ABOUT the "Sacrifice" that He would provide through His own "Son" as the very CORNERSTONE of His Spiritual Kingdom, in order to first ESTABLISH His "Word of Truth" as "King" in Heaven forever as the "Light of the World" (Ps. 110 & 119:89), in order to "Set us Free" from the kingdom of deception in which we are enslaved, and to UNITE US to establish His Spiritual Kingdom "House" on earth according to His Word and the Authority He gives us as His Sons; His Kings and Priests!
At some point the WHOLE WORLD will be "Born from Above" in the TRUE CORNERSTONE LIGHT of God, as a Morningstar for a "New Day" on planet earth, as indicated in many prophecies like Rev. 18:1-4 & Jer. 16:19-21 which tells us that honoring one's father and mother who are serving FALSEHOODS as their authority, will be recognized as insufficient for SPIRITUAL GROWTH and the WHOLE WORLD will KNOW and acknowledge this "Image" of God as "SUPREME". The world's children will THEN be born into a Messianic Kingdom of righteousness and peace whose "authorities" themselves are ALL SUBMITTED to this CORNERSTONE TRUTH of God's "IMAGE" as the LORD over ALL AUTHORITIES, and they will guide their children on this "straight and narrow path" to likewise KNOW and SERVE HIM alone, from their birth into His Kingdom. So if you haven't seen the "Image" of God's ONE Spirit of Righteousness, Wisdom, and Truth as the "Cornerstone Light" of the world described by the Law and Prophets as the GOAL and PINNACLE of God's Spiritual "House" (Rom. 10:1-4), I encourage you to begin your journey here.
So beginning from the ground up, the first five commandments up this ladder have practical physical application for children under their carnal parental authorities leading to carnal adulthood (learning to "Love Your Neighbor") but ALSO as a RIGHT OF PASSAGE from carnal to spiritual men and women, which are what the last five commandments up the ladder are all about (learning to "Love God"). This foundation for education SHALL BE taught in society to prevent mankind from DESTROYING HIMSELF in service to the spirit of rebellion and practical insanity, as is currently happening, as we've been warned.
When we understand what Jesus is saying in Luke 7:35 "Wisdom is Vindicated by Her Children" we should understand that it is he who is also speaking through the writer of the following Proverbs: 1:8-9, 1:20-23, 6:20-23 & 8:1-9:12.
My son, heed the Instructions of your Father, and do not disobey the Law of your Mother. They will be like a crown of jewels on your head and precious chains adorning your neck....(the "Woman") Wisdom protests outside (God's House) and in the streets her voice is heard. She raises her voice above the din in the busy business sectors of the city saying: "How long will you simple minded remain ignorant? How long will you scorners delight in your mockery? How long will you fools hate knowledge? Repent at my rebuke and I will surely pour out My Spirit on you and you will have wisdom to understand my word." Proverbs 1:8-9 & 20-23
My son keep your Father's Commandments and do not forsake your Mother's Law. Bind them continually on your heart and dangle them from your neck. When you go out, they will guide you. When you go to sleep and when you wake she will keep you and speak with you. The Commandments (of God) are a Lamp and the Law (of Wisdom) is it's Light for reproof and instruction to guide in the way of life. Proverbs 6:20-23
Chapter 8:1 thru 9:12 is a profound text which anthropomorphizes God's Holy Spirit of Wisdom as a Woman (God's Bride) "Building Her House" (which is a reference to giving "BIRTH" to Children who ARE the "house" Wisdom Builds). It is "She" who gives us "birth from above" as discussed in other places (like James 3:17). I suggest reading and reflecting on the whole passage but for brevity I will post what I see as two "key verses" for my application here. By these 2 key verses we see the ONE GOD of HOLINESS and ALL VIRTUE who existed alone before creating anything, is "anthropomorphizing" His Wisdom being brought forth from Himself (as Eve was brought forth from Adam to reflect His "Image of Wisdom" according to His Plan for creation) as a WOMAN by which He is "Building His House" (which is a reference to rearing children") as follows:
In the beginning of His Way, BEFORE the time of His Works (of Creation), YHWH acquired me (Wisdom as a "bride")....Wisdom has built her house and has hewn out its Seven Pillars. [The Holy Spirit of Wisdom is our Spiritual "Mother" who gives us Spiritual Birth as God's Spiritual Children to "Build His Heavenly House" which we are to establish on earth; it's through His "Wisdom" as his "Mother" brought forth His "WORD" as the "Light of the World" in Day One, through which that promised SPIRITUAL LIGHT would become the FLESHED OUT WALKING TORAH WORD of God as the TRUE "Light of the World", as the CORNERSTONE of the Spiritual "House of God" (Jn. 1:1-5, Rev. 12:1-5)]. Prov. 8:22 & 9:1
So, as the "Seed of Promise" who would come through the woman as the PERFECT "IMAGE" of the ENFLESHED "WORD of Truth", which is our Father in Heaven's Own Self Disclosure, Jesus Honored the Spirit of Wisdom as His "Mother" from Above, as we are likewise instructed to do (Lk.7:35, James 3:17). When we recognize that the "Righteousness" of God is our "Father" and His Spirit of Wisdom is our "Mother" who gives us "Birth from Above", and we HONOR the WORD and the SPIRIT as our parents, we are then able to recognize God's "Word of Truth" as the "Cornerstone" and "Light of the World" who sets us free from darkness so we may both OBEY Him as our Father and King through His Spirit of Wisdom, and which we are to likewise enflesh through our own OBEDIENCE of FAITH as "One" in His Spirit (which will then INDWELL US) as His "Children" building His "House" on earth according to His Plan for creation.
We are thus "BORN from ABOVE" in God's Spiritual Kingdom "House" through the Obedience of the Messiah (God's Own "Word of Truth" as His Own Self Revelation) who gives us Spiritual LIGHT to SEE in the spiritual darkness, and we are thus Spiritually ILLUMINED to SHINE His Glory in the darkness through our own obedience of faith. But as we are told in Proverbs 20:20, "The Lamp of the one who curses his Father or his Mother will be snuffed out". Of course there is a carnal application to the above proverb, but do not miss the bigger picture of the Spiritual "House" of God we are to be born from above to enter here below. We are to Honor our Heavenly Father and Mother (which the "Word of Truth" illumined by God's "Wisdom from Above" gives us Spiritual "LIGHT" to "See") as we PRAY and CONTINUE doing JESUS' WORK to ESTABLISH God's Spiritual Kingdom House Rule ON EARTH for its salvation from the spiritual DARKNESS of SATANIC REBELLION (Jn. 14:12, Rev. 2:26), which is the very PURPOSE for creating mankind AS GOD'S GLORY in the first place.
