God is a Spirit who has a visible image:Jesus Christ.(Col.1:15). It is thus we designate the unseen aspect of His will as heaven and the seen aspects of it as the earth. The Psalmist praises this slow maturation of His will as His works. His creation, can follow so the moon is a cue for the beasts of prey 'creep forth' for their feed while man stops with his labor."Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth."(vv.20-23).When St Paul refers to his works as well as riches as spiritual blessings, (" O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches"-v.24) So the earth is a blessing we have received in Jesus Christ.(Ep.1:3) Now what are the works of God but to make their glory in terms of his Son? He is the "Brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power." The word is the Law of the Spirit.
The Ancient of days is a visual representation of the Law so seven days establishes faith holding the seen unseen worlds as one."Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."(He.11:3). The everlasting covenant accordingly gives us the first day in which creating of heaven divides light from darkness which the Psalmist compares to a garment, 'robes of righteousness' and he "who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain" sets out foundations so His creation shall understand when He creates man 'after our image and after our likeness'. "And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament' Ge.1:7 explains the seven pillars or beams, "Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters". Heaven is stretched Up and down as storied ( Amos 9:6) or across. For as many pillars there are "foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever."(v.5)
