“Peace Peace Be Unto You”

Brant Gardner

As in the Old World, God announces and validates his son. Christ is established as the important representation of God to man. Aminadab has identified Christ as the means of dispersing the cloud of darkness, and now it has happened. This lesson of the power of the Christ for deliverance is not reinforced by divine decree.

Symbolic: The physical dispersal of the cloud of darkness is easily representative of the effect of faith in Christ on the spiritual clouds of darkness that might beset us. From whatever source they afflict us, the solution may be seen in the application of Christ’s atoning sacrifice to our lives. It disperses physical clouds of darkness, and it disperses clouds of darkness that might haunt our souls.
