I Corinthians 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do
not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate,
nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were
washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord
Yahshua Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

On the second day of creation we see in type the baptism in water for the washing
away of sins. We see separation occurring even as the saints are to leave off their sinning
and present themselves as slaves to righteousness and obedience to God. On the third day
we see the saints coming out of the waters of death and entering into resurrection life with
Christ, a life that exists to do the will of the Father. We also see vegetation springing forth,
and this speaks of the fruit that is to be produced in the lives of those who have come this
far. This brings us to the fourth day.

Genesis 1:14-19
Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day
from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and
let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and
it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the
lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the
expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the
night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.
There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

Having seen the light, having been cleansed from sin, being partakers of the
resurrection life of Christ, the saints now shine forth as lights in the earth. Even as the stars
in the heavens were given for signs, so too the children of God are given for signs and for
wonders as the Scriptures do testify:

Isaiah 8:18
Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and wonders...

The saints shine forth as stars, having the light of Christ within them to be revealed
to others.

Daniel 12:3
"Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of
heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and
ever.”

Even as the glory of the Moon and the Sun and the stars vary from one another in their
glory, so shall the glory which rests upon the saints vary in the day in which they receive
their resurrected bodies.
