Judgment aspect of God is exemplified by the fiery throne, "his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire." (Dan.7:9). Likewise we have His mercies like a river which is what we read in Ge.2:10-12. "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads./The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;/ And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone." The same Eden (Ez.28:13) connects us to a river that parts into four heads each imparting a specific quality to lands mentioned. The whole land of Havilah supplies gold, bdellium and the onyx stone. The place names are irrelevant since it is the river that issues forth from the fountain of life. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." Consequently Jesus invites people to the living waters because he signified this fountain of life. The people saw the light according to the true Light that he radiated. So gold that which is of fine quality denoted faith and so on.
The Spirit uses stones to express the quality of God in terms of rainbow."As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. " (Ez.1:28) As mentioned earlier colours are derived from the fountain of life so the mountain of God is to understood spiritually. God is a Spirit so worshipping God in Spirit and truth demands us follow the rule: in thy light we see the light."
The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.(Ge.1:2b) As with a rainbow in the natural world no two persons see the same rainbow. It is thus we trust in the light of our Saviour Lord and our works show his quality in our service. Across time and generations quality of the Word never changes. Jesus Christ the same. He.13:8
