The Pattern of the Ages
For gap... Behold, the heaven of the Lord your God Deut 10:14, and the heaven of heavens Deut 10:14... is another... they say seven heavens... gap... to be six heavens without... gap... for Paul 2 Cor 12:2... placing three heavens... gap... other than these... beside the three... gap... the heaven of heavens... it was said: the two... gap... the heaven of heavens... for it has been customary, the scripture gap is not contradictory gap and this has been said thus: that heavens coexist gap... another of the earth... it has been said that the Lord's heaven was named heaven, but that which in the beginning gap.
Before contemplating heaven, there was one and the same... of this Savior, of this world. If there are others present... and of the earth... for things in the world... the eternal word... and the temporal. 'By faith we understand the ages to be perfected by the words of God, into the things not seen being visible' (2 Cor 4:18) [imitation/copy]... and wonderful... Moses constructs according to the pattern; it was being constructed. 'See,' for he says, 'you shall do all according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain' (Exod 25:40). And the wisest Paul, in the Epistle to the Hebrews, through the more perfect and holy... spirit greater.
