31 Day Daily Devotional SERIES for the Garden of the Heart: DAY 21

 DAY21
 LET THERE BE LIGHT to IT IS DONE
  And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying 
to the seven angels, 
Go your ways, 
and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
 At that time shall Michael stand up, 
the great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble
such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book.
Revelation 16:1/Daniel 12:1
 --7--
Days of Creation
Articles of Furniture in the Sanctuary
Last Plagues
 
And God said, 
Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
And God made two great lights; 
the greater light to rule the day, 
and the lesser light to rule the night: 
he made the stars also.
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Genesis 1:13-19
The sun in the midst of Creation week represented by the Altar of burnt offering in the Outer Court....
 
 And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood, 
five cubits long, and five cubits broad; 
the altar shall be foursquare: 
and the height thereof shall be three cubits.  
And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof: his horns shall be of the same: and thou shalt overlay it with brass. And thou shalt make his pans to receive his ashes, and his shovels, and his basons, and his fleshhooks, and his firepans: all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass.   
And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.
 Exodus 27:1-5
 
The sun during the 4th plague, in the midst of the 7 Last Plagues, as the Son and His Sacrifice is represented by the Altar of Burnt Offering that all in this Great Controversy rotates around as we move back to the Outer Court where man is burnt by the sun
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun
and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire
And men were scorched with great heat
and blasphemed the name of God
which hath power over these plagues: 
and they repented not to give him glory.
Revelation 16:8,9
 
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, 
by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, 
but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 
--For if the blood of bulls and of goats, 
and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, 
sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
--How much more shall the blood of Christ
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself 
without spot to God, 
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:11-14
 
 
 DAILY REMINDER
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, 
and have not LOVE, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, 
and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, 
and have not LOVE, I am nothing. 
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not LOVE, it profiteth me nothing.
LOVE suffereth long, and is kind; 
LOVE envieth not; 
LOVE vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, 
is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 
And now abideth faith, hope, LOVE, these three; 
but the greatest of these is LOVE.
And from Jesus Christ, .... Unto him that loved us, 
and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
1 Corinthians 13:1-5,13/Revelation 1:5
 
 
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, 
If any man worship the beast and his image,... Revelation 14:9
Q: What was the IMAGE of Christ?
A: ...lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God...  
2 Corinthians 4:4
Q: How was that IMAGE Reflected?
A: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:8
Q: What would Lucifer's Counterfeit IMAGE entail?
A: Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience..   
Ephesians 2:2
 
The IMAGE of Christ was Reflected in Obedience
The IMAGE of the Beast is therefore Reflected in Disobedience
 
Closing Thought for the Day
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; 
God himself that formed the earth and made it; 
he hath established it, he created it not in vain, 
he formed it to be inhabited:  
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:  
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make...
And it shall come to pass
that from one new moon to another, [month to month]
[...on either side of the river, the tree of life  
with its twelve kinds of fruit, 
yielding its fruit each month. Revelation 22:2 ESV]
and from one sabbath to another, 
 [But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God..For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.. Exodus 20:10,11]
shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 45:18/Revelation 22:1/ Isaiah 66:22,23
