Glimpses of Revelation in Micah Series: Summary
Summary
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity,
and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?
he retaineth not his anger for ever,
because he delighteth in mercy.
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us;
he will subdue our iniquities;
and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Micah 7:18,19
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.

"Here are five major examples of materialists believing in magic (and there are more), or miraculous events without any sufficient explanation or cause for those events.
A fig tree produces figs, not apples. That seems obvious. Likewise, physics and chemistry produce
physical and chemical outcomes. However, mind and morality are not just matters of physics and chemistry. Sure, creatures that are physical and chemical have mind and morality, but how did such non-material things arise from the material? This is a serious problem for materialism, and the atheist Nagel candidly admits it, to the extreme annoyance of his atheistic colleagues.
The atheist has no sufficient cause to explain the existence of mind and morality. Magic happens!
Why do apparently intelligent people resort to believing in magic—uncaused events—at so many points? By not believing in God they have put themselves into an irrational philosophical corner. Romans 1:21 in the Bible says that when people deny that the Creator-God exists, they end up with ‘futile thinking’." CMI

"SILVER SPRING - The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists has announced the first change to the denomination’s corporate identity in over two decades. General Conference Communications Director Williams Costa, Jr. circulated an image of proposed changes to the Seventh-day Adventist logo graphic at the 2016 Spring Meeting of the GC Executive Committee.
Costa said changes to the logo, characterized as being relatively small, will be voted during the General Conference’s 2016 Annual Council this October. The current Seventh-day Adventist corporate identity, a registered trademark of the The General Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists®, was officially adopted at the 1996 Autumn Council (now Annual Council) of the General Conference Executive Committee.

"Here are five major examples of materialists believing in magic (and there are more), or miraculous events without any sufficient explanation or cause for those events.
The diversity of life is a huge problem. How did a microbe change itself into every living thing on earth, ranging from earwigs to elephants, from mites to mango trees? For almost a hundred years, mutations and natural selection, the mechanisms of ‘neo-Darwinism’, or ‘the modern synthesis’, have been said to explain this diversity of life. However, with our modern knowledge of living things, this has proved useless as an explanation.
In July 2008, 16 high profile evolutionists met, by invitation, in Altenburg, Austria. They had come because they realized that mutations and natural selection did not explain the diversity of life, and they had come together to discuss this crisis in evolutionary biology. The only consensus was that there is a major problem, a crisis.
Thomas Nagel (continuing from the earlier quote) put it this way:
Materialists have no sufficient explanation (cause) for the diversity of life. There is a mind-boggling plethora of miracles here, not just one. Every basic type of life form is a miracle." CMI
4. Origin of the diversity of life (Design? What design?)
The origin of life is only the beginning of the problem for the materialist. Along with other atheistic biologists, Richard Dawkins has spent his life trying to deny that living things exhibit supernatural design. In the book that ‘put him on the map’, he wrote,“Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.”

Thomas Nagel (continuing from the earlier quote) put it this way:
“The second question is about the sources of variation in the evolutionary process that was set in motion once life began: In the available geological time since the first life forms appeared on earth, what is the likelihood that, as a result of physical accident, a sequence of viable genetic mutations should have occurred that was sufficient to permit natural selection to produce the organisms that actually exist?”Think of the supposed origin of humans from a chimp-like ape in six million evolutionary years. Modern comparison of the genomes shows such large differences (of at least 20%) that this is just not feasible, even with highly unrealistic assumptions in favour of evolution. Actually, it was not even feasible when the difference was incorrectly trumpeted to be about 1%.
Materialists have no sufficient explanation (cause) for the diversity of life. There is a mind-boggling plethora of miracles here, not just one. Every basic type of life form is a miracle." CMI

IN the NEWS - Elementary TRANSGENDER Indocrination
"That members of the LGBT community have an agenda to normalize their respective orientations and gender identity cannot be refuted, and a recent Brietbart news report released April 20 confirms this fact. The headline reads: “Transgender promoting Council Asks Children Aged to Choose Gender Identity.” How is it that 4-year old children, whose minds are not nearly developed, can “choose” their gender-identity, which has already been determined even before their entrance into this world? No one gets to decide what gender they are, God chooses; gender is not determined according to a person’s feelings or desires no matter what the media psychiatrists and transgender activists purport.
Parents have expressed alarm as suspicion gathers that the city’s educational establishment has been taken over by a hardcore transgender lobby.
In 2013, Brighton & Hove City Council launched a ‘Trans Inclusion Schools Toolkit’ encouraging schools and parents to ‘support transgender and gender questioning’ children, which ‘may include taking hormones and or having gender reassignment surgeries.’ The city has one of the largest transgendered communities in the country, and its local Member of Parliament is from the Green party, which recently announced they are now calling women non-men to avoid offending the transgendered.
Now, in a letter confirming primary school places this week, the city council wrote to thousands of parents to ask if their child had ‘another gender identity’ other than male or female… ‘We recognise that not all children and young people identify with the gender they were assigned at birth or may identify as a gender other than male or female, however the current systems (set nationally) only record gender as male or female,’ the letter said.’ Adding: ‘Please support your child to choose the gender they most identify with.’ It comes after the Office of the Children’s Commissioner sent a survey for pupils aged 13 to 18 at every school in Brighton, asking them to choose a gender with which they identify.
"The deception of sin had reached its height. All the agencies for depraving the souls of men had been put in operation. The Son of God, looking upon the world, beheld suffering and misery. With pity He saw how men had become victims of satanic cruelty. He looked with compassion upon those who were being corrupted, murdered, and lost. They had chosen a ruler who chained them to his car as captives. Bewildered and deceived, they were moving on in gloomy procession toward eternal ruin,–to death in which is no hope of life, toward night to which comes no morning. Satanic agencies were incorporated with men. The bodies of human beings, made for the dwelling place of God, had become the habitation of demons. The senses, the nerves, the passions, the organs of men, were worked by supernatural agencies in the indulgence of the vilest lust. The very stamp of demons was impressed upon the countenances of men. Human faces reflected the expression of the legions of evil with which they were possessed. Such was the prospect upon which the world’s Redeemer looked. What a spectacle for Infinite Purity to behold!”White, Ellen. The Desire of Ages (1898), page 37”

"The first Royal Law that ever Jehovah instituted, and for our Example celebrated, (namely his blessed Seventh-day Sabbath) is in these very last days become the last great controversy between the Saints and the Man of sin, The Changer of Times and Laws.....
Why Christians will you stick here? Have you got victory over the Beast, and beheld the Holy One tumble down his Image, and will you now lose all your labours for want of a complete victory over the Mark of the Beast, (Rev. 13:2,20) which is so visible and legible in the head of the little Horn, The changer of Times and Laws. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, Because they have transgressed the Laws, changed the Ordinances, broken the everlasting Covenant. (1sa. 24:5).
You are assured Christians the Horn hath changed the Laws; and he cannot be that Horn unless he changed your Times also, will you therefore wisely weigh that he had no Times to change, save the Lords Sabbath Time,....
1. The Sabbath is one of the Assemblies approved points.
2. The time is contested to be the very seventh day determined by God;
3. God’s precept, seconded by his own practice give such full honour to the Sabbath that I hear of none save Atheists, Papists, Prelates, Ranters, Quakers, and some Notionists that gainsay it.
4. Neither was this ancient Law instituted for a year, or an age, but perpetuated to all posterity,
5. This royal Sabbath is no base or beggarly rudiment but an honorable perfect Law of liberty,
6. Not as a Covenant accompanied with thunder, denouncing curses for the least disobedience; but as a holy just religious Rule, breathed by the still and soft voice of the Gospel.
7. To persons principled in Church order, Isa 8:13 (the Antitype of God’s Ark) in whose renewed hearts by virtue of the new Covenant all God’s Laws are fairly registered which are by others slighted Hos. 8;12
8. And all for these two great Ends,
1. To honour God,
2. To enjoy him forever (which is the peculiar prerogative of such as obtain victory over the Beast’s Mark, The changer of Times and Laws.
The seventh day Sabbath is a perpetual royal Rule for the righteous,
established by precept and precedent, to God’s praise, and Saints privilege.
The Sabbath is a precept as ancient and universal as marriage: both made for Adam a public person, and for all his posterity.
But none can (though all should) sanctify the Sabbath, save Christ's Disciples:
who are redeemed from earthly interests and brought out of Babylon (Rev. 14:4,12; 12:12,17);
these in these last days has God designed to build the old waste places to raise up the foundations (that Antichrist has destroyed) of many generations to repair the breach,
and restore paths to dwell in, by turning the foot (of transgression)
from (any further pollution of) the sabbath (Isai. 57:12,13).
This is a generation work,
here is royal service for enlightened souls.
Glorious work for such only as get victory
over the Beast his image and his mark,
viz. THE CHANGE OF TIMES AND LAWS."

"Here are five major examples of materialists believing in magic (and there are more), or miraculous events without any sufficient explanation or cause for those events.
"According to the big bang, the ‘only game in town’ to explain the origin of stars, there had to have been two phases of star formation. Phase 1 involved the formation of hydrogen/helium stars (which are called Population III stars). Here is the first problem: how do you get gases formed in a rapidly expanding primordial universe to coalesce together to form a critical mass so that there is sufficient gravitational attraction to attract more gas to grow a star? Gases don’t tend to come together; they disperse, especially where there is a huge amount of energy (heat). Hey presto! Cosmologists
invented ‘dark matter’, which is invisible undetectable ‘stuff’ that just happens to generate a lot of gravitational attraction just where it is needed. More magic!
Now here is another problem: how do exploding stars, with matter flying at great speed in all directions, cause stars made of all those new elements to form? There has to be a coming together of the elements, not a flying apart. Pieces hitting one another would bounce off rather than coalesce. Most hypotheses involve multiple supernovas from phase 1 in close proximity, such that sufficient material collided together to form enough of a proto-star with sufficient gravity to overcome the tendency to fly apart and attract more matter and so grow a normal star. However, supernovas are not common events, especially multiple ones at the same time in close proximity. Thus, this scenario requires a huge number of very improbable events to account for the vast numbers of the heavier stars.

“If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are
mere accidents—the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else’s. But if their thoughts—i.e. of materialism and astronomy—are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It’s like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milkjug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.”

Revelation 17:4
the WHORE wears Purple & Scarlet....but NOT Blue & Fine Linen. WHY?
Blue represents Obedience {SANCTIFICATION}
...and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it,
and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them;
Numbers 15:38,39
The Fine Linen represents Christ's Robe of Righteousness {JUSTIFICATION}
....for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Revelation 19:8
The WHORE is missing the Blue & Fine Linen because she has not passed through the outlay of Salvation in the Sanctuary {OUTER COURT-JUSTIFICATION-FINE LINEN} & {INNER COURT-SANCTIFICATION-BLUE} & as a result will fail their JUDGMENT {MOST HOLY PLACE}
...yea, the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 2:10
Musical Journey Through The SANCTUARY
....and all the Levitical singers, .... their sons and kinsmen,
arrayed in fine linen,
with cymbals, harps, and lyres,
stood east and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers
to make themselves heard in unison
in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord,
and when the song was raised,
Come And Sing Praises - MARANATHA SINGERS
I Just Wanna Love You More - VAL MACE
Isn't He - MARANATHA SINGERS
with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments,
in praise to the Lord,
east of the altar with 120 priests who were trumpeters;
For he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever,
for his steadfast love endures forever,
the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud,
2 Chronicles 5:12,13
2 Chronicles 5:12,13
These are the singers, heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites,
who lodged in the chambers,
and were free from other duties;
for they were employed in that work day and night.
1 Chronicles 9:33

But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
Ye are bought with a price;
And from Jesus Christ, ....the first begotten of the dead,
... Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us...priests unto God and his Father;

If ye love me,
keep my commandments.
For this is the love of God,
that we keep his commandments:
and his commandments are not grievous.
Behold,
to obey is better than sacrifice,
and to hearken than the fat of rams.

And he said unto me,
Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
....for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him:
thousand thousands ministered unto him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him:
the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
