Like the moon, the sun's faithful witness, it's a creation that has no light-source in it, but exists to satellite-broadcast and mirror-reflect the light of the sun! Having no light of it's own to exhibit, the light it does express testifies to the sufficiency of the greater light, which is the light that rules over the day!
The Bible is not the Word of God, but it's message is!
The law was etched in stone, much like the moon, and it ruled over humanity's night. Only Light rules, but until Light dawned in us, we followed it as from a distance. Like children under the guardianship of parents, we experienced ourselves as depending upon the radiance of light from some other, greater source.
As pleasing as basking in the light of another is, we aren't cold-blooded. We're more than able to build ourselves up in love and do not require or depend on external sources of... heat <3
Whether by Moses, Prophets, Bibles, Pastors, Parents, Spouses or even by Jesus Himself from a mere historical perspective... In the night, we merely absorbed and reflected His light from a distance... It kept us alive and preserved us until the time of His coming, but the light of His understanding was always destined to arise in our own hearts, and from the time we first heard of His dawning, the seed was planted and it could never fail to produce after it's own kind.
God is no longer one greater than ourselves which we merely radiate and echo; He is our Father and we are His Son. All will honor the Son in the same way that they honor the Father, because the Father Himself is on display in His Son, just as the Son is fully-represented in His Father!
The moon was included in the created order because it demarcated humanity's times and seasons. The bible has been a useful tool in much the same way. For as long as man remained in the darkness of the night, our relationship with light remained illusive and what little light we could radiate represented was in our hope for total illumination. Once that total illumination came and the Word of God accomplished it's purpose in us of being fully comprehended, we engaged with complete comprehension and realized the message contained in God's Word is towards us! We ourselves are carrying the light of the incarnation of His Word.
We've gone from seeing an example for us in the Word, to now seeing the reflection OF us in Him! We, being the substance of what the Word reflected all along, represent and illuminate the purpose of the Word. We are the reason for the Word, He exists to serve you. He expresses you. He is in your mouth and in your heart. The Word exists to serve US as THE MIRROR of what God sees in us!
Until the dawning of the Son's light in us, we thought we relied on the radiance of God's light in another (Moses) rather than upon the greater radiance of the Son's light in us (Jesus)!
So again I say, the bible is a blueprint and Jesus Christ is the design... You are the present incarnation of that design, eternally. Much like the flesh that the Word of God incarnated as in us, it houses God and defines His likeness but the God of whom our bodies are the express images of does not dwell in tabernacles built by human hands. His declaration of our bodies as His temple confirms that our bodies are not tabernacles built by human hands. Jesus proved us built by God's own hands. -f
