    Jas,1,17 "Father of lights" (1 of 2)

    "The Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

    We shalll consider only th nature of light here. There is no shadow of changeability.Holiness of God has no variableness. 'I am that I am" This perfect gift is from above, the lord from heaven is the true Light that lighteth "every man that cometh into the world."(Jn.1.9) This perfect gift makes every child of God a part of the world framed by the word of God. He is blessed according to the everlasting Covenant. "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."(Gen.1.4) So what does the Spirit instruct as to the qualityof this world?" "And ye are complete in him."

    God created the natural word but separated it from the kingdom of light in which the True Light worked where there is no shadow of turning;.' In order to illustrate God set the bow in heaven. No two persons see the rainbow identical, signifying that the Law of the Spirit anoints with blessings so he may be complete by abiding in Christ. (Jn15.) The seven colours signify the Word so rainbow has a spiritual underpinning which explains the throne of heaven."and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald."(Rev.5.4). The 12 stones in the breastplate et al owe to the true Light.

    How does the stone laid as foundation in Zion becomes the mountain of God? The same rational that made the stone cut not with hands replaces the kingdoms of thi world. God saw the light was good and separate the natural world from the world framed by the word of God. In order to warn the nation of Israel set up two stones mount Ebal and mount Gerizim.(Josh.8.33; Deut.11.29) On the latter The tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin stood at Mount Gerizim, and the other six at Mount Ebal." Joseph belonged to the rock that was Christ.(Exod.28.21) The stones without Christ were glass but the True light gave them relevance.
