#102 - Awakening from Above/Below - Exodus (pt. 23) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

There is a concept within spirituality known as"Awakening from Above/Awakening from Below."God's revelation comes down from Heaven, but an aspect ofour spiritual growth emerges from below.

When we implement God's commands and become"doers of the word,"a lasting transformation takes place.

When we"do,"we gain insight. We learn at a deeper level and begin to experience the wisdom behind the command that solidifies our spiritual transformation.

This concept is expressed in the book of Exodus through a literary device called a chiasm or a chiastic structure.The structure of the biblical text itself shows us the principle in action as the Israelites are transformed into a community where the presence of God can dwell.
