So many of the questions and arguements that come up in religion is answered in one precept: "as you have judged so shall you be judged." This precept represents the consistancy of the ministry of God throughout the law and grace and reveals the precision of His judgments. So many important issues in the Bible are barely mentioned let alone explained, because the design of how and why it is this way is according to the judgment of God (which of course is according to our judgment). Look to every judgment of God: not everything He says and does seems to be just because this too is in response to a prior judgment. How much of the gospel rests upon the existance of sin, Satan, Heaven and Hell. Yet the design, purpose and significance of these is barely hinted upon in scripture.
The power of the life, dath and resurrection of Christ is that this is in response to a prior judgment as well, namely the fall through Satan. So that as Satan thought to accomplish against God so Has Christ accomplished against the reign of Adam. This means that every story in the Bible represents a depiction of the events of heaven. And that Satan sees himself as the hero in these scenarios and God as the enemy/adversary; but in that the precept of judgment cuts both ways (as a two edged sword) in fact he becomes what he falsely accused God of and manifests God to be the fullness of the glory he thought to assume upon himself (like the story of Haman and Mordecai).
This is the design by which the bible was written, and must be interpreted, to grant the understanding that only God's Spirit can impart.
