How are structures arrived at?
The author of this book did not fabricate the structures from his own
ideas. Structures are already in the Scriptures; rather, they were dis-covered
or un-covered by patiently and prayerfully searching what the Holy Spirit has
caused to be written, and relying on Him to reveal the balance, and the
correspondences of the book, the passage, the phrase, or the words.
Understanding the layout of Structures
To help the eye in linking up these correspondences (parallelisms; or
recurrences of theme), letters of the alphabet are used to identify the pairs of
corresponding lines of thought.
The first line is prefaced by the letter `A' and the corresponding line by
the same letter but in italic type: `A'. The next pair of corresponding lines
are prefaced by `B' and `B', and so on. There is no significance in the letter
used.
Until familiar with structures, it is probably wise to read line `A'
followed by its balancing line `A'; then line `B' followed by its balancing line
`B' etc. `A' is positioned vertically beneath `A'; `B' vertically beneath `B',
etc. The pairs of letters are progressively indented to aid the eyes in
spotting the pairs.
Lower case letters are used to indicate sub-sections of Capital lettered
sections.
