It is written that things earthly are in the likeness of things heavenly. The Old Covenant is the earthly mirror or shadow of the New Covenant. The Tabernacle and Temple are the mirror or shadow of the Kingdom of Heaven. "It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:" Not a mirror? What a bald, baseless statement. Adam is created in the *image* of God. The image is the reflection. The light of the father illuminates the image of the Son. The light of the Son illuminates man. "He that hath seen me hath seen the father." "Let there be light." Mr. Not-a-Mirror displays his ignorance of the very scripture he claims to believe. And he does so with cantankerous pride, refusing any and all attempts to correct his wandering into the noxious weeds. "The light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not comprehend it." "If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" Not a mirror? "The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." Not a mirror? "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." -- Nightbulb https://blog.nightbulb.net Flip the night switch.
