SandraDee,
Dr. Bob cited a quote from a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. He said, "I know it when I see it." Now in order to see something, you must be in the visible range to see it. You must be close enough to see it. In answering your question, I must bring you close enough to it so that you can see it.
When the Anointed One started to answer all the peoples questions, the first thing that He said was, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Now those people that He was talking to were very knowlegable in those terms but still needed to be drawn closer to the Truth in order to "see" what He was saying. I can imagine that there were people there who wondered what he meant by "repent," or "the Kingdom of Heaven." I suppose that there were people that thought that the man was insane. I suppose that there were people that went to the market and ignored Him. I suppose that there were people that challenged Him and tried to entrap Him or frame Him. I suppose that there were people that wanted to kill him. And there were people that wanted a straight answer that instant. But He could not answer immmediatly because they were not close enough yet to understand.. What your question entails for me to answer is to tell the last two Gates. And I am going to do that. But first, I must bring you close enough so you can "see it."
Now I could skip up to the last Gate now if you want me to, but if you came to a play in the last scene, how would you know what it meant without seeing all the other acts amd scenes?.
But I will tell you more so that you can come closer to see the answer.
