“And there was war in heaven: Michael (*“Unto whom shall we liken God? unto whom is God really like??” ~ The Lamb!) and his angels (*ministers) fought against the dragon (*pharaoh-image of God from the Law); and the dragon (*pharaoh-image of God from the Law) fought and his angels (*ministers), and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon (*pharaoh-image of God from the Law) was cast out (*of the human heart, or mind)… [*Revelation 12: 7-9a (KJV)]”
“All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. [*Isaiah 40: 17, 18, 25 (KJV)]”
Without the revelation of who our Father truly is, of all our Father is actually like… as He is only seen in, and by, and through, and because of The Lamb; then, all we are left with is a false perception, a perverse image of God based upon our own, fraudulent misunderstanding, and self-serving mis-interpretation of what we think the dead letter of scripture is saying, and means. The dead letter causes us to see God as an angry pharaoh in heaven, separate from us, not dwelling as one with our spirits in our physical bodies, hard to please, difficult to draw close to, nearly impossible to enjoy; and always ready to reward only our strictest performance or obedience, and to punish our every slightest disobedience. Remember The Parable of The Two Prodigal Sons… When we perceive our Father as the above-mentioned pharaoh, we immediately begin to experience (internally) the torment of fear; the fear of “not pleasing God,” the fear of (even) when we do something right or “good”… is it “good” enough, or did we do enough of it? This is narcissism, and has nothing to do with our Father, or His great love for us; let alone the Truth of The Eternal Godhead now dwelling within us all, bodily! We’ve become a house divided against ourselves!…
