TWO SIDE POSTS AND THE LINTEL

Exodus 12:22

And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

This scripture is a word picture of spirit soul and body in Exodus where Moses called for the first Passover.

 I made this drawing representing the 2 side posts and the Lintel (door header) of the entry of a house.

The first Passover is recorded by Moses in Egypt to protect Israel's firstborn from the death of the destroyer.

The blood of the Lamb sacrifice was applied to the door of the house, which is a prophetic picture of all who accept Christ. The 2 posts represent our spirit body and our physical body, the Lintel which rests upon the 2 supporting posts (physical and spirit body) the Lintel represents our SOUL.

Prophetically, the "Blood" is applied to all three, SPIRIT SOUL AND BODY.

So in Genesis 9:18, our triune nature is represented by Ham Shem and Japheth.

Ham and Shem are the 2 POSTS. Japheth represents the SOUL which is supported by the 2 posts. The blood of Jesus protects us SPIRIT SOUL AND BODY (our "House"). There is more to this, I will explain later.

The main difference between the 3 sons of Noah and our "spirit, soul and body" is that the sons of Noah were three separate individuals. But our spirit soul and body are 3 separate manifestations of 1 person.

Sidenote: When we die, you could note that our "Physical body" dies only, and in the Lintel and 2 posts represented above, that would only leave the 1 post (spirit body)

and the Lintel (soul) forming a cross. Is that coincidence?

Ephesians 4:22 NKJV

That you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

Romans 6:6 NKJV

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

Before I was born-again, I was of the corrupted seed of Adam. That was my "Old man" or my spirit man.

Ephesians 5:25

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Our "Body and soul" are IN ONE BODY (ONE FLESH).

Our "spirit and soul" are also a prophetic picture of "Husband and Wife" joined in ONE BODY (spirit body). The Apostle Paul gives us clues and tells us "This is a Great Mystery".
