Yes, Lee also gave us stuff according to the word of God. But there was a mixture. Inspiration, and fallen human concepts. Logic, and illogic. There was a mixture. Surprise, surprise. Just like everyone else.

But any of us can see something, and express it so that others can also see. Why did Lee the Seer of the Age copyright the process? Anyone who bases their ministry on such proprietary suppositions should be avoided. At all costs.
Lee told us that Psalm 45 was the highest Psalm. The (northern - see the Aramaic phrasing) Israelite king married a Phoenician princess (v 12). Sounds like Ahab and Jezebel to me. They had a great wedding but it went downhill from there. And the king's arrows are sharp in the heart of his enemies (v5)!?! Doesn't sound like the New Testament to me! Where's the love?
Of course there are other layers, besides the physical. We can all go deeper, and many have. Into the unseen realm; into Christ. Verses 6 and 7 of Psalm 45 are quoted in the NT. But why did Lee go there with the rest of Psalm 45, but not with Psalm 1, 3, 5, 7, 18, 34, &c?
Lee would use one hermeneutical principle in one place, and forget all about it shortly thereafter. And clearly we the audience were expected to, as well. Ultimately, it all rested on, "Because Lee said so." None of his work, and I mean none of it, would survive a peer-reviewed process unscathed. Everything rested on some amount of ignorant conjecture, promoted as a newer version of "Just So Stories." If you took it all at face value, and said, "Amen" every time he paused for breath, you could tell yourself it was the Cat's Meow, all for a few dollars. But as soon as you begin to poke at it, you realize that you've been had.
There is some fantastic scholarship being done out there, today. Fantastic work, not by one person but by many, in a larger conversation with the text and each other. But you'd never know this in the Lee Museum.
