#155 - Exploring the Orchard (Pardes) of Scripture - (Gospel of John - pt. 4) Fig Tree Ministries Podcast
-
- Religion & Spirituality
At the heart of our faith lies an orchard, a place of deep contemplation and spiritual nourishment.
This orchard, known in Hebrew as PaRDeS—a Persian loanword meaning "walled garden" or "park"—serves as a gateway to exploring the boundless wisdom of the Bible.
But how do we navigate this orchard to uncover its rich fruits?
On this journey through God's orchard, we'll see the Bible's beauty and wisdom and learn key principles to understand its profound teachings.
Our exploration features a remarkable example from the Gospel of John, where a Remez weaves Abraham's narrative with John's revelations about God and His one and only Son. This simple "hint" brings forward the rich meaning of the story of Abraham and Isaac into that of God the Father and Jesus.
Join us on this enlightening adventure to pick and relish the nutritious fruits of the Bible.
