Scriptural proof has been given to show:

1. The dispensational place of John's Gospel.

2. Its `Calling' - Guests of the Marriage of the Lamb.

3. Its relationship to the family of faith.

(a) `children' not `sons'.

(b) No place in either of the three `adoptions'.

4. That the words of Ephesians 2:4-6 are a precious heritage of the Church of the Mystery, and find no place in the

writings of John, either in Gospel, Epistle or Revelation.

5. We have `assumed' nothing, but have provided Scriptural proof for each so-called `theory'.  And here we can

confidently rest.

Some have jumped to the conclusion, that when John says, `Of His fulness have all we received' (John 1:16), that

this is the same fulness that is revealed in Ephesians and Colossians.

John, however, makes his meaning plain, for he adds `even grace over against (anti) grace', and proceeds to

explain, `For the law, (which had the type and the shadow) was given by Moses, but grace and truth (i.e. antitypical

grace, the substance not the shadow) came by Jesus Christ'.

The twelve occurrences of the name MOSES in John's Gospel alternate between this emphasis upon the `true' or

antitype, and the testimony of Moses, to Christ. The reader might be interested to work this theme out, by using the

accompanying outline:

in JOHN'S GOSPEL.

A 1:17

The law and the truth.

B 1:45

The Christ. Moses did write.

A 3:14

As Moses. The truth (3:16).

B 5:45,46

He wrote of Me.

A 6:32

Moses gave you not the `true bread'.

B 7:19,22,23,26 The very Christ?

A 8:5

The law. The writing in the dust.

B 9:28,29

Moses or Christ !
