    De.32:1-3 "As in heaven"

    "Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth./My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:/ Because I will publish the name of the Lord."

    In continuation of the post titled Thy name we have this key text as spoken by Moses. It is encapsulated by the Lord's Prayer, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." The Spirit gives us a clear demonstration of what is meant by "After our likeness" in putting words of the Son in Moses. He is what the similitude in theological sense delineates. It is similtude of the Lord as the verse makes clear. "With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold."(Nu.11:8). "The words of my mouth" are not parables where God and Moses are concerned. He is after our likeness, as Jesus as the Word made flesh, so we have his doctrine repleted with 'loaded' words as dew, as small rain and the showers. What holds them together? Is it not the river of time sent forth as the word gone forth from the mouth of God? We read "from the waters which were above the firmament" several states so the mist, " But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground"(Ge.2:6;1:7) mist gives over to small showers giving us a lapse of time.

    The Spirit makes an unbroken narrative thread from the beginning till eternity. In Ex.15:27 the Spirit gives us 12 wells at Elim."where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters." The number 12 foreshadows Christ exhorting,"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink." ( John 7:37). What Moses qualifies as 'my speech' refers to him. Up and Down and Across have tags 12 and 70 (7x10) trees of righteouss
