Since the beginning of time, the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter have rotated in an orderly way.

When spring runs its course, summer comes; when summer runs its course, autumn arrives; when autumn runs its course, winter arrives.

The exchanges of seasons have been repeating in an orderly fashion without error since the beginning of the world. The natural environment, in which humankind and all beings live, has been shaped according to the changes of seasons.

This order of seasons, the order of nature, is evidence of the power of God, Hanullim, by which all things are made.①
