As the earth forms a diamond so GOD forms us. During the exodus from Egypt Arron wore a breastplate around his neck adorned with twelve gemstones, representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Why GOD used these precious stones is a revelation to us.
Dirt to Diamonds - Flesh to Spirit.
Gemstones are formed when the unique minerals of the earth are dissolved in water and subjected to the necessary temperature and the correct pressure of the earth. Only in rare combinations of extreme heat and pressure found between 75 to 100 miles beneath the earth's surface will carbon naturally crystallize as diamond.
Gen: (2 vs 6-7) but there went a mist from the earth. and watered the whole face of the ground. and the LORD GOD formed man of the dust of the ground.
What gives a gem its value and beauty is how it is cut and polished. The fire of a gem is the rainbow-like flashes of color in a cut gem, this fire is determined by the facets or cut surfaces that reflect the light that passes through the surface and is refracted or bent. Bent light is internally reflected within the parameters of the critical angle. The facets control the path of light to be internally reflected and passed through the gem. The result is a rainbow brilliance, sparkle, fire!
Romans: (8 vs 29-30) whom GOD did foreknow he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son, them he also called; and whom he called them he also justified; and whom he justified them he also glorified. Hebrews: (12 v 6) whom the LORD loveth he chastises and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Hebrews: (5 v 8) though he were a son yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. Matthew: (5 v 16) let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your FATHER which is in heaven.
1st Corinthians: (15 vs 51-52) but we shall all be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. at the last trump for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible. and we shall be changed. Revelation: (1 vs 14-15) his eyes were as a flame of fire and his feet like unto fine brass. Revelation: (4 v 3) and he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone and there was a rainbow round about the throne. in sight like unto an emerald. (v 6) and before the throne there was a sea of glass (the saints) like unto crystal.
