                                                                    Chess master’s analysis of the position:

 

• The enemy’s king has aggressively trespassed the boundaries and now the kings are standing in a “face off.” And God’s man is having to deal with The Judgmental, Blind guide who is  filled with Hot -Headed  Slander.

• To win the game, God’s king has to have spiritual discernment and press forward in faith by holding his boundaries within his soul on d1 and be willing to be Persecuted for Righteousness Sake as he starts a chain reaction and confronts the Judgmental on e4 with the advice from Mathew 18:15. If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.  A scoffer does not love one who reproves him, He will not go to the wise. Proverbs 15:12. So the Judgmental takes d3.

• The Peace Maker continues forward to e4 with the instruction of Mathew 15:13 to confront The Blind Guide, “But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed.”

• The Blind Guide’s on the world’s stage are hypocritical in nature. Jesus in Mat 23:24 refers to the Scribes and Pharisees as blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel .  So we can expect the Blind Guide to take the peace on e4.  

•  A Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness is what propels God’s man to f5 to further confront The Hot Headed with the wise council of Mat: 18:17, “If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a gentile and a

       tax collector.”

• The Hot Headed will launch into a defense and take f5 because,“ Like a charcoal to hot embers and a wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindle stife.”  Proverbs 26:21.

• At this ponit God’s man meekly steps up to g6 in a position of a humble spirit in order to confront The Slander with both a blessing and a boundary.
