"He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he."
His ways are perfect and it is demonstrated by example. God separated light from darkness and Jesus was among the nation of Israel as true Light. In terms of the light we have Moses and the vail he had to wear after receiving the commandments that he was on the Mount Sinai as the double for the Word become flesh. "But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded." (Ex.34:34). The Spirit places Moses once again when Jesus transfigured before his disciples and this time he is set in heavenly places. The true Light was come and Moses shows the order of heaven stands true. "The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven."(1 Co.15:47)
The Israelites could not stand before the glory on the face of Moses. Hence this vail, a symbol for their corruption. "They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation." (De.32:5) In the generation of Jesus Christ they belonged to a perverse and crooked generation. They also stand in relation to us in his Son. Firstly St Paul exhorts as to our calling, "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world."(Ph.2:15) The order concerning the nations also follows in the manner light was separated from darkness. "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel./For the Lord's portion is his people." (De.32:8-9) Jacob has his portion which is on the earth.
