    1 Sam.ch. 14 "Saul"

    Three principles set the worlds of which the fulness of God is invested in Jesus Christ: Principle of Similitude, principle of Association and the Principle of Reconciliation. The Rule of Three sets King Saul as 'after our likeness'. God chose him and anointed him from so many and Samuel wrote it in a book."And Samuel, said to all the people, See ye him whom theLordhath chosen," And he was anointed. (1 Sam.10.24, 26-27) The sons of Belial who despised the man chosen by God belonged to the natural world. Saul held his silence as Christ would have so we here two worlds side by side. Along with him were God had chosen. "And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched."

    Now in ch.14.2 he isseated under the tree of pomegranate and it is a symbol for fruitfulness. Already his disobedience places his throne on shaky grounds and the Philistians were a token of God's displeasure. In order to indicate the Spirit introduces two rocks Bozez, on a north south axis,"there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh./The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah."(1 Sam.14.4-5) north indicates Christ the judge.

    What of his band of men? "and the people that were with him were about six hundred men." 6x100 of which number 6 refers to sons of Belial who will not enter into the rest of God. In the everlasting Covenant because of his disobedience he has come the shadow of a tree which is noted for abundance but of the cherub as wilful as Lucifer. " Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations." (Isa.14.9) This was fulfilled by the death of Saul He was buried under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh.
