    Mk 8.11-12 "Sign from heaven"

    "And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him./And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation."

    This sign from heaven is called the face, a spiritual plane where the Spirit of God can work with another. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. By the same token the unclean spirit of disobedience works " and darkness was upon the face of the deep". The spiritual meaning of the face is consistent throughout. "But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground." This is a plane and not to be taken face is also round in literal sense. So Jacob sees in a dream of the ladder. It has a spiritual plane. Thus the firmament declares the handiwork of God, to which we apply the quote from James, is compared to a glass,"But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." ( Jas 1.22-25)There is face veiled by literalism and prejudices and also open face. "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."( 2 Cor.3.18)It is thus the imposter churches keep drumming on heresies from their jaundiced view and see Jesus and his Atonement is limited.

    Our heart also has a spiritual plane where truth is written, how can they see in holding it synonym for total depravity?

    God has shined this light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. We call this "the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God". It is thus Jacob waking out of his dream says,"this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." Heart as a looking glass. So he knows. (28.17
