Lazarus and the Rich man

Here's my take:

The Rich Man = Adam.
who was given all things, and the whole world as put under his submission. His seed, his carnal seed as One man wandering in the world in torment and agony.

Lazarus = Jesus.
who was persocuted by the carnal man's seed, as witnessed by those wo were killed and ridiculed and put out of the congregartion, as unclean..The spiritual seed as One man who was left for dead in the wilderness..

of whom which God had mercy and did send One back from the dead to preach to both the "dead" faithless, and the living "faithful".
And was given peace and rest in the bosom of Abraham.

And to those who do not hear, are left to wander aimlesslesy in this life living n torment and agony never able to find a peaceful place in which to rest.

Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Jhn 7:37 In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

compare this last verse with the rich man asking for water on the tip of Lazarus' finger.
Would God withold water from one who cried..please?

what does your heart say?

just my 2 cents
