ABRAHAM
A symbol of a phase of the Divine nature active
in the soul. It stands for the Supreme Being in the parable of Dives
and Lazarus. The symbol " Abram " signifies an earlier phase of the
Divine.
"And if ye are Christ's , then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs
according to promise ." - GALATIANS iii . 29.
If these qualities are in harmony with the highest Ideal, then are
they of spiritual descent, or begotten of the power of the Divine
(Abraham), — inheritors of the "fruits of the Spirit," according to
the Divine scheme.
"Abraham is in many respects a figure of Christ. " - ST. CHRYSOSTOM,
Hom. III.
"Abraham signifies to us the virtue of faith in Christ. " - Glossa
Ord.
