It began as a singular revelation regarding the Tabernacle of Moses. It was prompted by an attempt to understand the symbolism and meaning behind the layout, furnishings and purpose of the structure. The KEY of unlocking the mystery involved the simple New Testament statement that "Your body is a Temple." It was through the application of the key that many things became evident: the outer courtyard represented the body and the inner, covered courtyard, represented the spirit. The pattern became evident in the realization that the Holy Place was representative of the mind and that the Holy of Holies or Most Holy Place represented the heart. We are sapient and sentient beings with an inward consciousness; we have thoughts and we have feelings. Things immediately fell into place, the inner most veil between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies depicted how our feelings cannot find expression until they are processed, interpreted and shared through our minds; thoughts - and so our feelings are veiled within. (I will not belabor this further only to say that one may view a YouTube video about it if they will search on Bruce Gilbert and Tabernacle - by the way, I am not the composer by the same name.)
Further revelation came upon realizing that LIGHT is comprised of two components, as well - the "compound in one." The "Electro-magnetic" spectrum is LIGHT and consists of a particle in oscillation with another having magnetic properties. It didn't take long and the realization was made that there is the "direction" component that behaves like a mind and an "attractive" component that behaves like a heart to repel or attract; hence thought and feeling.
Applying this "compound in one" to marriage and in view of the Proclamation to the Family, the husband is the head of the home, in that he is meant to be the "mind" and the woman is the "heart" of the home. The man is to preside, provide and protect and the woman is to nurture - that is what minds that think and hearts that feel do.
The revelation came full circle when I made the realization that just like the Holy of Holies, the woman is the "Ark of the Covenant:" the New and Everlasting Covenant of Marriage. She, it is, who is entrusted to bring forth and "carry" the fruit of God; the manna from Heaven - His children. It is my prayer and hope that you will fully realize the meaning of these things.
