First, Abraham buys the
cave at Macpelah (Gen 23:9) to bury his bride,
Sarah. Macpelah means "double cave". It is in
HEBRON. It is the burial place of Abraham, Sarah,
Isaac, Rebecca, and Leah. A womans womb is
similar to a double cave and is a dark place where
one waits for a life to begin. Like a grave, it is a
dark portal to a new life. Hebron is at the lower,
southern part of Israel. Below Hebron to the south
is the desert , like a big skirt. Today the
cave is covered by a building with large iron gates
inside the building situated over the cave entrance.
It is noteworthy that the Tree of Mamre, where
Abraham rested, and also where he and Lot parted
company, is just slightly north of
Hebron. That tree is still alive. Gen. 13:18 ;
18:8.
Second, David buys* the
threshing floor of Onan which became the site of the
Temple and Holy of Holies. It represents the Heart
of the bride. David was a a man after God's own
heart. The Holy of Holies was kept from human view
by a thick veil. The two long staffs on the ark of
the covenant extended the veil beyond a direct
drop,and it is said that the veil often moved as if
breathing like a woman. This is central Israel, in
Jerusalem, north of Hebron. (2Sam 24:24 and
1Chron21:18-27)
Third, Jacob bought a well
at Shechem ( Nablus today) which means shoulders and
sits exactly between Mt Gerizam and Mt Ebal.
The two mounts look like shoulders. Meaning good and
evil. It is north of Jerusalem but south of Galilee.
These are the hills of choosing, the place of
choice. Joshua at Shechem said , " As
for me and my house we choose the Lord". It is north
of Jerusalem. The shoulders and neck , our neck
selects direction and is also where Joseph is buried
-- a type of Messiah. (Gen 33:19)
Last, north of here is
only a place called Gallilee, the geographic head of
the bride. It is where the Head of the bride comes
from, it is not purchased. Gallilee means circular
or round. A circle has no end or beginning. It is
the shape of a skull , the head. Each of the
three other places, the price* is listed.... 400
shekels silver, 65o shekels silver, and 100 pieces
of "money" . 1150* total . What that
number means is a mystery ???
Now note that King David
spent 7 years in HEBRON, the location of the womb,
the cave of Macpelah. While there, he only ruled
over a portion (Judah) of what he was granted.
Hebron is a type of this age. The womb. Giving birth
to the bride. He later spends 33 years in Jerusalem,
also as King. (2Sam5:5)
In Hebron , he has 6
wives(#) plus a 7th wife Michal, the daughter of
Saul, who does not reside in Hebron with David.
(1Sam 18:27). Michal loved David. (1Sam 18:20). This
is the ONLY place in scripture where it is recorded
that a woman loved a man. That has to be very
significant. Hebron means "communion". (2Sam 3:2-5)
. Michal loved David but was not in communion
with him.These seven wives, the brides, seem to be a
type of the 7 churches in Revelation. The type is
inverted, Michal, Saul's daughter and David's first
wife, mocks David ( 2 Sam 6:16-20 ) and is barren,
(2 Sam 6:23) while all the other brides
produce offspring. ( 2SAM 3:2-5). Michal
matches Laodicea , thinking highly of herself,as
royalty, daughter of King Saul, while she
disparages the emotions of her husband and king, a
Type of the true King.(2Sam6:16-21)
So here is a type in
geographic design, the 7 churches. The womb of
Hebron , her children waiting in darkness, ready for
a new life in the light. As Bruce Baber has
mentioned on this site- the head of the church
is already delivered. Only the two feet and toes
remain.....The price has already been paid.
I would like to thank
Danielle Walker for pointing out that David had a
7th bride, Michal, Saul's daughter, during his time
in Hebron... This all fell out of her comment.
* The purchase of the
Temple site by David is recorded in 2SAM 24:24 and
also 1Chron 21:18-27. The price paid is listed as 50
in 2Samuel and as 600 in 1Chronicles. It is not
clear to me whether the 50 was a deposit and should
be included in the total price of 600 or if the 50
covered additional items tied to the property and
should be added to the 600. This could make the
total 1100 rather than 1150. (2300 is a number of
significance in scripture, 1150 being it's half.)

ONE FINAL NOTE :
The gematria value of the 7 brides adds to 672 !! This
is a KEY, CRITICAL number pointed out by Greg Wilson
in his Jan 24, 2016 study (here on
Fivedoves.com/letters) of PENTECOST
2016 - AN EXTREMELY HIGH WATCH DATE. I
