Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Interesting thing about the Bible being allegoric, is when it comes to what God has appointed "us" of them/us to "obtain" in 1Thes 5:9, namely "salvation" ("escape" in Heb 2)... as compared to what's provided for "them" in 1Thes 5:3, namely "no escape"...
And looking at what "us" are to "obtain" at the throne of "grace", namely "mercy"...
And looking at Hebrews where it says all who died under Moses' "law" died "without mercy", well, it allegorically and reasonably suggests there is neither salvation, nor mercy, nor escape with the law of such law/grace... perhaps why(?) law got abolished by the prototype ("author" of eternal salvation). He is our peace.
So, if I were one of "them" law abiding folk, I'd be converting to one of "us" grace folk, and asap, lest my ass was grass via law worketh wrath, infirmities, accusation, condemnation, and a merciless dead end.
