    1 Co.2:9-10 "Fulness of Christ- the Law

    "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him./But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."

    The Law here mentioned is the Law of the Spirit, unity of which we see in the Synoptic gospels. So word was not flung at random leaving it to chance. God is a Spirit, and he cast forth the word that it shall succeed. "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days./Give a portion to seven, and also to eight."(Ec.11:1) Death and resurrection of his Son was already in his divine Will.So the earth and lower parts were to be brought under the word of his power. It is what we mean by the Unity of the Spirit. This unity is associated with the Lamb in the Vision of John. "a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."(Re.5:6). Fulness of Christ carries several tags of which we shall consider number Four as a Command number. All the gospels which are canonical delineate this fulness from this number to establish the Word was God. In Matthew we have the deity of Jesus while St Luke presents his humanity. Mark and John have their own specific gravity and these do not contradict one other. St Matthew presents the doctrine of God the Beatitudes with the symbolic backdrop of a high mountain. (Matt.5:1) Whereas St Luke sets Jesus on the plains and he references the mountain for some other purpose. "that he went out into a mountain to pray."(Luke.6:12) and begins the Beatitudes later. " And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people from the Jews and the Gentiles. (v.17). He sets woe to ye discourse along side. St Matthew devotes a separate chapter for it.(Matt.23)
