    Gen.1.8 "Heaven"

    "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." We shall focus on the role of the firmament. It reveals the work of his hands. Thus the waters above the firmament has a body, and it is his holiness. All blessings pour from the greater to the lesser so He sends rain to the just as well as the unjust. Holiness of God is revealed in his love so the body is a sign, "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven" It is also mercy, and it is spiritually understood, and it is new every day. Without it there is no new birth or new earth. Because God loved the world He sent his only begotten Son.(Mt.5.44-45. Lam.3.22-23). In his Son our volume is assured. This mercy denotes waters above and waters below denote grace which came by Jesus Christ. Between the Father and Son the firmament is a sign for us. It serves as a looking glass. Our heart a spiritual place, an alter is a glass. The glory is impressed within. "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."(2 Cor.4.6). The firmament shows as a glass and spiritually the soul says Amen to "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

    Heaven and earth are set about two axes: the world made to appear what is unseen helps us understand, "My Father worketh hitherto , and I work." It is Across. The other axis works Up and Down. Advent of the Son and hs direction works about this axis. Both are reconciled in the firmament so it is named Heaven. This serves same as the Word was with God so Jesus Christ as the lord from heaven; similarly he is the firstborn from the dead.(Col.1.18; Rev.1.5)

    The Mid-air 'firmament' is a sign for Jesus Christ. "For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell."
