| | Finally, passing through the Second Vail, Plate 6B, indicating a division between light and darkness, we come to the Most Holy Place, a type of Heaven wherein is the Throne of God. It was here, Plate 6A, that at the Command of God, the darkness was abolished by Cosmic Light, as compared to the Most Holy Place, Plate 1A, where God, who is identified by Light (see Shechinah and also 2 Cor. 4:6), abode in the Cloud above the Mercy Seat, between the Cherubims of Glory, their wings overshadowing the Mercy Seat, a symbol of the Throne and presence of God thereupon. Thus, the evening and the morning were the first day. This is as the Apostle Paul said, looking at the Pattern in 2 Cor. 4:6, "For God, who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST." This is confirmed by the threefold witness in the earth, shown in Plate No. 36, which God hath testified of His Son (see 1 John 5:8). | | Finally, passing through the Second Vail, Plate 6B, indicating a division between light and darkness, we come to the Most Holy Place, a type of Heaven wherein is the Throne of God.
