Who is Galatians 4:27 speaking of according to Les?
Galatians 4:27 is identified as speaking of Saraiah, because she was the one who had never had childbirth. It follows the allegory of Ishmael and Isaac and contrasts earthly Jerusalem with the heavenly Jerusalem, the free mother of Grace Age believers.
Les explains that Galatians 4:27 comes right after the allegory of Ishmael and Isaac, which is where the allegory rested. He says his idea is that the verse is speaking of Saraiah, because she was the one who had never had childbirth. In the surrounding context, Les contrasts the earthly Jerusalem and its temple worship with the heavenly Jerusalem above. Grace Age believers are not tied to the temple worship in earthly Jerusalem but to the heavenly Jerusalem, which is free with total liberty and is the mother, or beginning, of us all.
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
