while we were part of the world, we focused on the world, the flesh, the earth, and described all motion relative to it, but the heavens didn't make sense to us.
when our eyes were opened to the light, we focused on the light, the spirit, the sun, and described all motion relative to it, and the movements of the heavens became revealed to us in order and harmony.
the Copernican revolution of understanding reflects the revolution of Grace that is the new covenant; the motions of the heavens aren't precipitated by the law of the earth, but it is the laws of the heavens that the earth itself is subject to.
if i am a bug living on a baseball that is thrown through the air, all i am concerned with is moving from one part of the baseball to another; i may as well assume the baseball is stationary, but this understanding is insufficient for me to make sense of the world apparently whizzing by outside the ball.
when we were in the flesh, not having any understanding of spiritual things, we were only concerned with the flesh, and we measured all things according to it, and the things of the spirit made no sense to us.
if i am a player on the field watching the baseball fly towards the outfield, and i want to catch the ball, i don't think of the ball being stationary, because the field is my reference point, and relative to it the ball is moving.
when we walk in the light, our reference frame isn't the flesh any longer, but being focused on heavenly things, we see the path of all flesh, of the earth, of the end of all things.
the Christian walk is like a relativity theory, where in the physical sense all motion is measured & limited by the speed of light, to us all things are measured & judged by the Word of Light. all creation testifies to the greatness of the creator - that it is the flesh that is subjected to the light, and not the heavens that are subjected to the flesh, doesn't this speak to the glory of 'the one true light of the world?'
