She is the Testimony

Compare this saying with Matt. 11:12, “From the days of John the Baptist until now the queen of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take her by force” and Luke 16:22, “The poor man became, then, to die and was carried away by the messengers into the pocket-fold of Father-of-Tumult; then also the rich man died and was buried.” Notice how Sarah makes a vague connection with Hagar as herself. Compare,

None have ever seen Theos, an only-kind Theos, the-one who is in the pocket-fold of the father, that one has shown-the-way-out. And she is the testimony of the Favor-of-Yah.” John 1:18-19 literal

The Great Displacement

The passive form of being lightened is a subtle way of revealing that Hagar is not the one disesteeming Sarah, but rather is seeing Sarah being lightened (opposite of glory/weight). Notice she, Hagar ends up in Father-of-Tumult’s pocket-fold. Her eyes are opened. She sees that her lady-mistress, Sarah, is getting smeared.

Underneath three the earth has quaked, and underneath four she is not able to lift up.
Underneath a slave when he reigns,
and a fool when he is being filled with bread.
Underneath her-who-is-hated when she is being owned [married],
and a slavewoman when she is inheriting her mighty-one.” Proverbs 30:20-23 literal

Blessed are the gentle-ones because they will inherit the earth.” Matt. 5:5 literal
