I would add that believing a diamond is glass does not make it glass and that is to the doubters Loss.Yes, merely believing a piece of glass is a diamond does not make it a diamond.
I would offer. . Words used according to the signified tongue of God used in parables have meaning assigned to them. Clear glass like water in all lively moving forms give us the gospel understanding. What I would call .The 20/20 vision of faith
Prior to the last words given to John in Revealtion
1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
2 Corinthians 3:18 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.
Using gold the only rudiment of this world that gets the seal of his approval is to be used as a metaphor in parables. or called the golden measure. In Revelation it is used to represent the work of Christ’s faith as that clearly seen, like unto clear glass. No darkness no night.
Geneisis 2:12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
Revelation 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Again, not salt water or stagnant water but fresh water falling, distilled from above causing growth. Green represents the believers in parables. A picture of the living word spoke of in Hebrews 4.
Prior to the fall before the glory of God as literal light was used to represent hearing God.It was represented by a mist coming up from the earth four living waters as rivers watering the whole earth. The gospel going out.
Inspiration from earth became evil because of the fall that James call earthly inspired from the devil.
Deuteronomy the new order walking by faith the unseen things hid in parables as a result of the flood God now spoke from heavens the cloud gives his seal of approval of the new manner with a rainbow. . . inspiration coming down in different forms
Deuteronomy 32 King James Version Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
A good example is when the Israelites were in the dessert for forty years. They longed for the food of the world represented by Egypt, and they murmured. will you kill the whole asmly with hunger?
Exodus 16:1-15 King James VersionAnd they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt: And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the Lord; for that he heareth your murmurings against the Lord: and what are we, that ye murmur against us? And
Moses said, This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord. And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmurings. And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God. And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. (Exodus 16:1-15"
Manna literaly meaning . . What is it? The daily bread of inquisitiveness.Called hidden manna in Revelation 2
The dew laying the foundation for the food.
it is the way dew to represent inspired from above it is used in all the parables the signfied or poetic tongue of God.
Genesis 27:28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
