Ps.139 "Introduction"

The psalmist in this psalm touches upon 'my substance'. "My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth./Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." This also is open before God meaning the past present and eternity glory of which is bound up with the Son (He.13:8). In terms of theology predestination is the glory of God in terms of Power and Wisdom principle so when Jesus says, "I am the way" it is validated by the eternal word. '"For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name". This glory of the word has two parts. Holy is his name. This refers to the divine will of the Father. Second part is the name that the son gives to the overcomer. "And I will write upon him my new name."(Re.3:12)

Secondly 'The works of thine hands' (138:8) is a proof of the unity of the Spirit. The psalmist asks 'Whither shall I go from thy spirit? In terms of the Spirit there is no up or down as we speak being primed for terrestrial living. Our inner ear tells its own story which is true as far as our body goes. The world of the Spirit in which heart carries a personal spiritual space is merely to give volume to a man dead in sins a context. Dead to the world at baptism he is hidden in heavenly places refer to this unity.

As mentioned above there is no up or down; nor is there in terms of the Spirit, east or west. "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;/Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." (vv.9-10) In terms of glory God the Father signifies Power and the Son, the wisdom aspect which is female principle. When God ('elohim') speaks male and female it refers to the glory aspect of Christ and the church (the bride) as well.
