 Psa 25:6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD. This request is fascinating. If you don't believe the Psalmist is thinking in terms of his power crossing over into timelessness, this will prove the existence of eternal powers in the axioms. He is not asking God just to forget his youthful rebellion, but he is acting as the new covenant creator. When he asks God to remember, he is asking to reshape the history in men's minds. God doesn't have a memory based in time. Man's memory is constrained in time and is present in the images of mind. The Psalmist is not only asking God to overlook his sinful rebellion, but to recreate it so men forget.It is through our pronouncing of eternity that we gain control over time. By speaking eternal words that transcend our understanding, we create new images that encompass the entire world. We are speaking about the thoughts and desires of men in all parts of the earth in these eternal powers in response to those thoughts. In our pronouncing we are controlling the world that is beyond our dwelling. And yet God decides how He responds to the eternal pronouncements.God has created all things and ordered them in a reasonable way according to the axioms. God behaves with the axioms in these two attributes of love and faithfulness, righteousness and truth, etc. These twins are a metaphor for God's presence in the fire and cloud when He guided them safely to their inheritance.The Psalmist declares that these twins are the agents of the axioms that bring unity and salvation to his experience. God  pronounced, so we are encouraged.  in an absolute sense our imaginations are aroused to experience the pleasure of God's response as a covenant-keeping God.
