“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers… the moon and the stars which you set in place”— (Cf. Psalm 8:3)
If we can recognize that the context of the content of Scripture is an analogous portrayal— by means of the historiography of the testimony it bears as witness to actual reality; that is, the work of God as spiritual reality, the reality by Whom we are derived— then we may also be granted an actual understanding of spiritual matters. These are the things expressed in the content of Scripture, of which God’s prophets also speak— “not in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.” (Cf. 1 Corinthians 2:1)
