The Bible is dual too. Literal/spiritual. Eyes mean both. Understanding still connected to this realm, and heavenly, connected above. Born from above. Ringette any bells?
Eph 1:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Eph 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Eph 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
verse 8. Paul- the greatest spiritual man yet he was born out of the time. This is the time.
I was given a poem about this but I had to wait on the understanding.
We are sprouts from the tree of life. Christian in the beginning were even called sprouts. Google it if you like.
In revelations the leaves of the tree of life translates to sprout. We are for the healing of the nations.
In His image.
