story as it reads from Ezekiel 31:3-18 is factually incorrect, it reads in fact like a
fable, myth or legend, but is yet spiritually true and a parable (1 John 5:6). The fact
is that the Word is a parable and many accounts within the Word are parabolical
(Psalm 78:2).

None of this is the least surprising. The Word is a mystery to all Creation (1 Cor
2:7, Eph 3:4, 9, 1 Tim 3:9, 16, Rev 10:7) and only by the discernment of the Holy
Ghost can it be understood (1 Cor 2:13-14) and only by the ministration of the
Holy Ghost in the basic spirit of a believer can a passage be understood as factually
correct or incorrect (1 Cor 2:13-14). If indeed this was not the case then the Word
would be like any normal, accurate, book with all its meaning comprehensible by
the worldly rules of grammar and vocabulary. It is no such book but a Person (Rev
19:13) and not any person but God (John 1:1, 14, Rev 19:13) who is above our
comprehension (Isaiah 55:9). As such the reader is immersed in an interactive
process with the Holy Ghost (Heb 4:12) if he is understand the Word from a
factual point of view, or any other (1 Cor 2:11-14, 2 Cor 2:14, Heb 5:13-14). It is
necessary under the Prime Principle of free determination that God’s creations
should be able to doubt His Word, along with His existence (Isaiah 45:4-5, Rom
1:20, 25, 31-32, 2:12, 14, 16, 10:14, 18, 1 John 3:6, 4:6), and this entails being able
to dispute that which is factually true or not (Rom 1:18-22, 1 Cor 4:1). It is also
the necessary that they should need His Holy Ghost to know what is and is not
factually true in the text (1 Cor 2:14).

Elijah claims, erroneously and arrogantly, that he alone serves God (1 Kings 19:10,
18, Romans 11:2-4). So the statement of a prophet of God in, say, 1 Kings 19:10 is
just plain wrong as the whole Word, the Word Itself, shows. Likewise
Nebuchadnezzar says the spirits of the holy gods was in Daniel which is incorrect
as it was the Holy God, singular (Dan 5:11). The reader must discern, by the Spirit
(2 Pet 1:21) from all of the following to ascertain the truth of any passage: the
author or quoted speaker’s status with God, not that this is conclusive on its own
(Acts 16:17), and what is said and its interpretation by the rest of the Word (John
10:35). Interpretation and understanding of any passage in the Word is by
reference to the rest of the Word (Isaiah 28:9-10, John 1:1, 10:35, Rev 22:18-19)
and by the spiritual discernment given at God’s discretion to the reader (Isaiah
28:9-10, 1 Cor 2:14, 2 Pet 1:20-21). The whole single Word is addressed to
Christians and to the Universe (Josh 1:8, Deut 30:10, Mat 5:18, Luke 4:4, John 1:1,
14, 14:15, Acts 24:14, Rom 10:18, Rev 19:13, 16, 22:18-19) but not all the words
in it are applicable to Christians as commandment (Rom 10:4). The Word is the
fulfilled Law to Christians (Mat 5:18, Rom 8:4, 10:4) but applies as the unfufilled
Law to all others (Josh 1:8, Deut 30:10, Rev 22:18-19). Given the universal
