![]() ![]() Another approach might be to unfold the cube, with its six sides laid out flat. We might draw a shaded cube on a 2D surface. Let’s say we were trying to explain three dimensions to two-dimensional beings. The closest we can get is a shadow of these things. However, it’s still difficult for us to comprehend four spatial dimensions, and five dimensions are just beyond most of us. Drawing three dimensions is relatively easy. ![]() Even children learn to draw cubes and cylinders - or to sketch realistic noses on faces using shading. We are able to draw three-dimensional representations on two-dimensional sheets of paper. We understand three-dimensional reality, because we live in it. I will not go into depth, but when we simply realize that time is a physical property, then all kinds of insights about the Bible start to become vivid to us. Mathematicians and theoretical physicists suggest there might be as many as 11 dimensions in the universe. If you have read any of my technical books, you are likely familiar with the concept of hyperspaces - the reality that exists in greater dimensions. We’re also familiar with time as the fourth dimension, which is why physicists now talk about the “fabric” of space-time. Most of us are familiar with three-dimensional space: length, width and height. We recognize that the great work Jesus accomplished on the cross was not merely three-dimensional in nature. He was crucified on a cross of wood, yet He made the hill on which it stood. We are going to explore some often overlooked aspects of the crucifixion of Christ, recognizing the person that was arrested, abused, and murdered was not just a mere man. The story is so familiar we sometimes lose perspective. ![]() We’re going to explore a topic that is absolutely unfathomable the death of the Most High God. The Lord told Moses in Exodus 12:2 to establish the first month of the year as the month of the Exodus from Egypt. God even changed the calendar at that time. When we receive Him as our Lord and Savior, He begins to lead us from the bondage of our spiritual Egypt on the journey to our ultimate rest.īecause of the great significance of the Passover, the Lord told the Israelites to commemorate it every year throughout all generations. He is the One who covers us and protects us from death. Jesus died at Passover as our unblemished Lamb. Any house without the blood of the lamb was doomed, and the firstborn sons of all those in Egypt were killed that night. The blood of the lamb protected all those within the house, no matter who they were. Wherever the Lord saw the blood on the doorposts and lintel, He would pass over and spare those inside from His last great plague against Egypt. At the Passover, the people of Israel were instructed to sacrifice an unblemished lamb and strike its blood on the doorposts and lintel of their homes as a sign to the Lord. We find this foreshadowing fulfilled with great power in the first feast of the Jewish religious year - the Passover. The Old Testament gives us the history of the Jewish people, and it gives us psalms and proverbs and warnings and messages of all kinds, but the more I study it, the more I find Jesus Christ written on every page. The more I study God’s Word, the more I’m amazed by God’s precision. The Scriptures were written as a shadow, a dim reflection of Jesus Christ himself - to explain in advance God’s whole plan for the salvation of the human race. Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Scriptures. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. ![]()
