BEAUTY, POETRY, WISDOM & LAWS

.

ALL TESTIFY OF OUR CREATOR!

.

Instead of arguing about the technical issues in the debate between Evolution and Creation, there are five powerful witnesses which testify of a divine Creator.

.

And so, in Part 1 (click here to read), it was put forth that in all of nature, there are various “Witnesses”, who all testify in behalf of the Creator! Beauty, Poetry, Wisdom, and Laws, all stand up and speak so eloquently in defense of nature’s God! And it would seem, that any doubter or skeptic, who would open his or her mind to carefully consider the testimony of these four very persuasive Witnesses, would eventually come to the same conclusion: there has to be a Creator, who is filled with these same qualities:

.

God, the Creator of nature’s “Beauty”.

.

God, the Creator of nature’s “Poetry”.

.

God, the Creator of nature’s “Wisdom”.

.

God, the Creator of nature’s “Law & Order”.

5TH WITNESS: LOVE!

.

But since the writing of that first devotional, yet another witness found in nature has risen up in defense of the Creator: a powerful witness that defies and even decimates the supposed logic of the so-called Theory of Evolution!

.

And so, in Part 2 (click here to read), we saw that there are not four, but five witnesses found in nature, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mother-Child_face_to_face.jpgwhich all testify of God’s Creation!

.

And just what is that 5th witness?

.

LOVE!

.

Yes, “Love” is the 5th witness found throughout nature!

.

But now it is discovered that nature has yet another witness: its “Awesome Grandeur”!

.

Yes, nature is awesome! And it is grand! Majestic and powerful! Or whatever further superlative one wishes to use to describe this 6th witness to nature’s Creator.

7th WITNESS: THE SIGNS OF HEAVEN

.

But in addition to these 6 witnesses, there is actually another: a 7th witness: “The Signs Of Heaven”!

.

Nowhere else in nature has God painted an actual portrait of His Gospel of Salvation. Or if He has, it has not yet been discovered.

.

But according to Luke 21:25, it is written…“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;”

.

Yes, God has created this amazing pictorial account of His Salvation plan, via the constellations seen during the four seasons. And these constellations have been placed exactly in the correct position where they present an orderly picture of the various aspects of Salvation.

.

.

.

.

FORGOTTEN/IGNORED TRUTHS

.

But these signs in the heavens also present various truths, which, though very biblical, yet have been ignored or rejected altogether by the church-world.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME”

Matthew 3:7, Luke 3:7

.

But these signs also sound the clarion call for God’s people to flee from the wrath to come in these last moments of earth’s probationary time, just prior to its final judgment. 

.

GOD’S SIGNATURE

.

And so, together with the other 6 witnesses found in nature, this 7th witness makes an eloquent case for a divine Creator.

.

It is almost as if God Himself, has inscribed His signature upon His finished Creation, just as an artist would sign his name upon his finished canvas!

from the creation of the world are clearly seen,

being understood by the things that are made,

even His eternal power and Godhead;

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Give me the joy of knowing more about the wonders of nature. Help me to see, not only the beauty and poetry of nature, and the wisdom of nature, but also the grandeur, the many pictures of Love: God’s love in nature. But also, show me these signs in the Sun, Moon, and stars..

HEAVENLY OBJECT LESSON

.

“Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” Isaiah 24:23

.

When God created the Moon and the stars, He ordained them to “rule the night” (Gen. 1:16). The Moon, especially when it is full, can light your pathway through the night, as it reflects the light of the Sun.

.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Um_moinho_dominando_a_ba%C3%ADa_%C3%A0_luz_lunar.jpg

So too, the Christian is to be a light to the world: to this sin-darkened world. But as the Moon must reflect the light of the Sun, in order to be a light to the world, so also must the Christian reflect the light of Jesus, to be a spiritual light to this planet in rebellion. Listen…

.

“Ye are the light of the world…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

.This is a drawing of a winter-time total lunar eclipse, first published in Bilder- (Picture Atlas of the Stemenwelt) in 1888

However, during an eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, preventing that sunlight from shining on the Moon’s face. This is an incredible object-lesson about when the child of God allows the world to come between him and his Lord. Like the eclipse, that person no longer reflects the light of Jesus, because his or her love of this dark world of sin has eclipsed the light from the “Sun of Righteousness” (see Malachi 4:2).

.

And so, this is just one of the many poetic truths seen in the Moon. (For more on this subject of an eclipse, you may link to the article… “Lunar Eclipse & Spiritual Eclipse”)
