    Part II Annotated Gen.20.1-6 "The house"

    Every house is built by some man." For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God." We shall consider how God has done it. "He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works." (Ps.33.15) Heart of Abraham and of Abimelech, consequently has same quality with which they may work with. How shall they do the works of God? They only need believe in the one He sent.( Jn 6.28-29). So Good is just a call away and it is non-verbal speech and it is called faith.The same speech and same language holding the two worlds .(Heb.11.3) It is of this house the writer to the Hebrews write about, "But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end."(Heb.3.5).

    The Spirit is repeating the same event occured before and after his name was changed. What happened to him in the house of Pharaoh on account of Sarai is given another run. So we are looking at two worthies from inside out. Abimelch justifies his royal authority but God does not reckon such arbitrary laws or traditions man may impose. In order to instruct us correctly God visits the king of Gerar and warns of dire consequences if he did violate Sarah's chastity. " Behold, thou art but a dead man".

    The king pleads integrity of his heart, " Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this" God's answer, " for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her." God searches the hearts, Does not his answer..contradict the heresy of 'total deparavity'?

    The witches trial at Salem in 1692 was one way these misbegotten heretics made their new Canaan a charnel house.' Like Cain these vagabonds whereever they went sowed their heresies and only one need look at their tree of liberty to know the truth.
