"But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"
The vision of St John does not contradict the threefold divisions because the Father Son relationship and the everlasting covenant isfrom everlasting to everlasting and it glorifies Jesus Christ who is the express image and brightness of His glory. The Spirit moving upon the face of waters creates a body, which is signified with the woman in labor. The 12 stars in her crown are the heavenly places as distinct from the seven stars in the hand of Christ, Significance of numbers we shall consider in another post.
The three fold divisions we see in the sun, the moon and the stars."And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." (Ge.1:16) And it is to give light on the earth which refers to the darkness. The two great lights serve as the turnpike moment for the day of regeneration. The church the holy city of god is defined as the light of the Lamb serving the left out church.
After the man child is caught up to the throne "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."(Re.12:6). The number is not about days as we known the term but Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega aspect. God has prepared for Israel and the Gentiles hinges on the selfsame covenant.
Up and down in short refers to God the Father of lights the crown of 12 stars are set in heavenly places, the angels and below man called to be holy and without blame, "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love." (Ep.1:4-5), In the calling of Abraham we have the same up and down, God sending him to Egypt and back to Mamre (Ge.13). Jacob makes a similar circle.
