A study of the context of this Epistle to the Galatian Church clearly shows that the leaven of Galatia was legalism, a mixture of Law and Grace. Having Christ in one hand and Moses in the other hand. It was a confusion of the Old Covenant and the New Covenant revelation. It was a mix­ture of flesh and spirit, bondage and liberty. works of the Law and faith in Christ. The Galatians having received Christ by faith now sought to go back to the beggarly elements of the Law, hoping to be perfected by legalistic works.

There were various curtains and coverings involved in the Tabernacle. These Curtains and Coverings were hung or draped over the Framework. Some diagrams suggest that the final Coverings were placed in a tent position over tent poles. As to the specific arrangement of these Coverings we are not told. God has, however, given the order in which these Coverings were to be placed over the Framework and the materials from which they were to me made.

In addition to kings or tetrarchs being placed over Palestine, there were governors or procurators who served regionally. For the purpose of our study we will only look at procurators in relation to Judea who are specifically mentioned in the New Testament. Palestine was under Roman rule and Roman appointed leaders. The Romans placed kings or tetrarchs over the Jews. Antipater was given the initial position of tetrarch of Palestine about 47 B.C. and served in that position for about 10 years.

In this video, we'll dive into the biblical concept of the "leaven of Herod and the Pharisees." Discover what it is, why it's important to beware of it, and how it can apply to our lives today. Jesus warned against the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and understanding this concept can help us avoid their harmful ways of thinking. Join us as we explore the meaning and implications of this metaphor in our spiritual journey. Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. A study of the references to Herod show that he was a very sinful and worldly man. He feared the Word of God in John's mouth but was not prepared to repent. He was sly as a fox, sensual, proud and murderous. He was controlled by the spirit of the world. Jesus warned the disciples to beware of the leaven of Herod, the spirit of worldliness. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp_bPGNUUz8oz0b98YSt2ew/join

The East, from the fourth century, has held that the person of the Father is the center of divine unity. The main danger of this is a subordinationist tendency. If the Father is the guarantor of unity in the Godhead, it is only a short step to the Son and the Holy Spirit having a derivative status. On the other hand, the West since Augustine has begun with the divine essence. It has had difficulty accounting for the real eternal distinctions between the persons. With the essence prior to the persons, a less than fully personal view of God has resulted. The bias here is in a modalist direction. Seeing this, some in the West, like Moltmann, have argued that the Trinity is a community of three equal persons. However, since they lack a full doctrine of the immanent Trinity and correlate the Trinity with human history and experience, their conclusions veer toward tritheism and pantheism, often being explicitly Panentheistic. On the other hand, T. F Torrance, going back behind the Cappadocians and Augustine and following clues from Athanasius and Gregory Nazianzen, argues that the monarchy is to be seen as the whole Trinity, understood in a homoousial and perichoretic manner. However, he does not give equivalent emphasis to the distinctiveness of the three persons. Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/cyrilpeterson
