or 1 Corinthians 13:12 (b) Here we may learn the lack of vision and inability to understand spiritual verities as one should.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (a) This no doubt is an illustration of the fact that we look into the Word of GOD and behold there the true picture of ourselves. GOD describes us perfectly in His Word. Having seen our need we hurry to the Saviour for cleansing. It probably also means that in the Word of GOD, which is the glass, we behold the beauty of the Lord, the precious Person of the Holy Spirit, the wonders of GOD the Father, and so we ourselves become more godly, more holy, more like CHRIST.
James 1:23 (b) This is a way of saying that a man sees in the Scripture the spots and the blemishes of his life but does not use the remedy to get rid of them.
Revelation 4:6 (c). It probably indicates that the throne of GOD rests upon and is surrounded by such holiness and purity as is best illustrated by clear glass through which everything may be seen and nothing is hidden.
Revelation 15:2 (c) GOD's angels and GOD's wrath are without spot, shadow, or sin of any kind. Everything about GOD's punishment of men is above reproach and is perfectly clear, clean and transparent.
Revelation 21:18 (c) The misuse of gold on earth is often connected with wickedness, sinfulness, hypocrisy and pretense. This city of GOD is quite the opposite. The gold of that city covers no evil and hides no wickedness. Everything is transparent and the bottom may be seen from the top.
