Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” The Hologram Analogy The Gospel in Genesis Equidistant Letter Sequencing (David’s Genealogy) Love in the Bible
Hologram Analogy(Fourier Transform) Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” A form of lensless photography Film records interference of light from the laser and light from an object In natural light, result can look like a darkroom mistake (has no desirability) Illuminate film with laser that created it to get a window into a 3D universe…you can look behind the image vs. a picture Cut a piece out and you don’t lose the image – just look around the hole! (will lose resolution)
Hologram Analogy(Fourier Transform) Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” The information is spread out over the entire bandwidth It is resilient to interference It anticipates hostile jamming You have one in your lap!
Hologram Analogy Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” • The Bible is like a hologram – viewed in natural light, it has “no form nor comeliness;” and “there is no beauty that we should desire” it(Isaiah 53:2) • Collection of old stories • Has no integrity to the natural man • “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God” (1st Corinthians 2:14)
Hologram Analogy Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” Illuminate it with the Light that created it, andyou see a pictureof Jesus Christ!

Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” The Romans developed a short sword-the Machaira, which, with its associated techniques, enabled them to conquer the world. It was only 24 inches long and was sharpened on both edges. But there was a secret to its effectiveness: training and practice. Its uniqueness was a liability unless it was used with the proper techniques, which required extensive practice. Is there a lesson here for us? “And take... the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”Ephesians 6:17
