Light
The natural agent that stimulates sight and
makes things visible.
Photography is a visual medium that has existed
since the 1800s.
Since then it has evolved
both in form, technology, purpose, and expression.
Photography is a multifaceted craft that is
constantly evolving over time... so,
How is it created?
To understand the photography definition it is important to
break down the word itself.
The Greek meaning of ‘photo’ translates
to ‘light’ while ‘graphy’ translates to ‘drawing.’
Therefore, the word photography can quite literally translate
to light drawing or
drawing with light
Simply put, photography is the
process of capturing light to create an image.
This is executed through the use of a camera, either film or digital.
The practice of capturing light to create images
is used for various purposes.
illumination in the spiritual sense is
“turning on the light”
of
understanding in some area.
Throughout the ages, people in every culture and religion have
claimed some kind of revelation or enlightenment from God
(whether true or not).
When that enlightenment deals with
new knowledge or future things,
we call it prophecy.
When that enlightenment deals with understanding
and applying knowledge already given,
we call it illumination.
Regarding illumination of the latter type, the question
arises,
“How does God do it?”
The most basic level of enlightenment is the knowledge of sin.
Psalm 18:28 says,
“You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.”
Psalm 119, which is the longest chapter in the Bible,
is a song about God’s Word.
In verse 130, it says
"The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.”
This verse establishes the basic method of God’s illumination.
When God’s Word enters the heart of a person,
it gives light and understanding to them.
For this reason, we are repeatedly told to study
The Word of God. Psalm 119:11 says
"I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.”
“Your commands make me wiser
than my enemies,
for they are ever with me. I have more insight
than all my teachers,
for I meditate on your statutes.”
Regular study of the Word of God
will Give
Direction and understanding in our Life Journey
This is the first method of God’s illumination and the
starting point for us all.
In Psalm 119 we also find another type of God’s illumination.
Verse 18 says,
"Open my eyes
that I may see wonderful things
in your law.”
These are not new revelations,
but things which have
been written and revealed long before, and
just now understood by the reader
(one of those “aha!” moments).
Similarly, verse 73 says,
“Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.” The plea is for personal understanding and application of God’s laws as they are studied by the individual.
Fifteen times in this psalm, God is asked
to teach or
give understanding regarding His laws.
is John 14:26,
"But The Counselor, The Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in My Name,
will Teach You
all things and will Remind you of everything
I have said to You.”
Jesus was speaking
to His disciples in the upper room,
giving them last instructions before His death.
This special group of men was to
be responsible for
spreading the good news
of
Jesus Christ to the whole world.
They had spent three and a half years
with Him,
watching His miracles and hearing His teachings.
They would relay those things to the rest of the world, and would need God’s special help remembering those things accurately. Jesus said that
The Holy Spirit would Teach them
and remind them of what had been said,
so they could Give it to others
(including the writing of the Gospels).
This verse does not teach that the Spirit will do so with all believers
(though there are other verses that speak of the Spirit’s illuminating work).
What is the Holy Spirit’s illuminating
work in believers?
Ephesians 1:17-18
Tells us that the Spirit gives
Wisdom and Revelation concerning Jesus Christ,
and Opens the Eyes of understanding
so we can Know God’s Purposes in our Lives
In 1 Corinthians 2:10-13,
God has revealed His plans for us by His Spirit,
who teaches us spiritual things.
The context here points to
The Word of God as that which has been Revealed.
The Spirit of God
will always point us to
The Word of God for Our Instruction
As Jesus told His disciples in John 16:12-15, the Spirit simply
repeats what the
Father and the Son have already said
This repetition helps us remember and
Fully Hear
what God has already told us.
Sometimes we have to hear things several times
before we
actually hear them
That’s where the Spirit comes in.
One thing that is sometimes overlooked in the
discussion of illumination
is the purpose of it.
It would seem that the whole
purpose of illumination is an accurate and
academic understanding
of God’s Word.
There is no question that God desires us to
accurately understand what He has given us.
Words have meaning, and we must pay attention
to the details in those words.
If, however, we stop there, we simply have an academic
understanding of facts or philosophies, which do no one any good.
Going back to Psalm 119,
we find purpose statements connected with the illumination verses.
“I will meditate on your wonders” (v. 27),
“I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart” (v. 34),
“that I may understand your statutes” (v. 125),
“that I may live” (v. 144).
The illumination always points to action.
Why does God help us understand His Word?
So we are able to live in its
Light
First John 1:6
Challenges us,
“If we claim to have fellowship with him
yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not
live by the truth.”
We could paraphrase it to say, “If we say we’ve been enlightened, but still walk in the dark, we lie about understanding God’s Word.”
"The Spirit of God, who enlightens us to
hear and understand God’s Word,
then takes that knowledge and guides us in living it.
Romans 8:14
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
they are the sons of God.” The illuminating and
leading work of the Holy Spirit in our lives is a confirmation
that we are indeed children of God.
Jesus said to him,
"I am the way, the truth, and the life.
Sunlight is light
produced by the son, it appears
white
When sunlight hits a rain droplet, some of the
light is reflected.
The electromagnetic spectrum is made of light with
many different wavelengths, and each is
reflected at a different angle.
Thus, spectrum is separated,
producing a rainbow
The sequence of the
7
hues commonly described as making up a
rainbow
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
In the Renaissance, several artists tried to establish a
sequence of up to seven primary colors from
which all other colors could be
mixed
In line with this artistic tradition, Sir Isaac Newton
divided his color circle, which he constructed to
explain additive color mixing,
into seven colors.
Originally he used only five colors,
but later he added orange and indigo to match the
number of musical notes in the
major scale
In a mixture of primary colours, the quantity and quality of each being given, to know the colour of the compound."Throughout Opticks, Newton compared colours in the spectrum to a run of musical notes. To this purpose, he used a Dorian mode, similar to a white-note scale on the piano, starting at D. He divided his colour wheel in musical proportions round the circumference, in the arcs from DE to CD. Each segment was given a spectral colour, starting from red at DE, through orange, yellow, green, blew [sic], indigo, to violet in CD.
The 3 patriarchs of the Old Testament
(Hebrew: אבות Avot, singular Hebrew: אב Av)
are Abraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob,
the ancestor of the Israelites.
Written in the 4 New Testament
Gospels are The Accounts of Jesus Christ's Ministry
History's most influential
works of art - The Last Supper
Leonardo's visual interpretation of an event chronicled in
all four of the Gospels
The evening before Christ was betrayed by one of his disciples, he gathered them together to eat, tell them he knew what was coming and wash their feet (a gesture symbolizing that all were equal under the eyes of the Lord). As they ate and drank together, Christ gave the disciples explicit
instructions on how to eat and drink in the future,
in remembrance of him.
It was the first celebration of the Eucharist, a ritual still performed.
Specifically, The Last Supper depicts the next few seconds in this story after Christ dropped the bombshell that one disciple would betray him before sunrise, and all twelve have reacted to the news with different degrees of horror, anger, and shock.
Leonardo hadn't worked on such a large painting and had no experience in the standard mural medium of fresco. The painting was made using experimental pigments directly on the dry plaster wall and unlike frescos, where the pigments are mixed with the wet plaster, it has not stood the test of time well. Even before it was finished there were problems with the paint flaking from the wall and Leonardo had to repair it. Over the years it has crumbled, been vandalized bombed and restored.
Today we are probably looking at very little of the original.
Much of the recent interest in the painting has centered on the
details hidden within the painting,
but in directing attention to these 'hidden' details, most people miss the incredible sense of perspective the work displays.
The sharp angling of the walls within the picture, which leads back to the seemingly distant back wall of the room and the windows that show the hills and sky beyond.
The type of day shown through these windows adds to the feeling of serenity that rests in the center of the piece, around the figure of Christ.
Leonardo balanced the perspective construction of the Last Supper so that its
vanishing point is immediately behind Christ's right temple,
pointing to the physical location of the center,
or sensus communis, of his brain. By pulling a string in radial directions from this point,
he marked the table ends, floor lines, and orthogonal edges of the six ceiling coffer columns. From the right and/or left edge of the horizon line, he drew diagonal lines up to
the coffer corners, locating points for the horizontal lines of the 12 coffer rows.
Leonardo was well known for his love of symmetry.
In his Last Supper, the layout is largely horizontal. The large table is
seen in the foreground of the image with all of the figures behind it.
Speculations about symbolism in the artwork are plentiful. For example, many scholars have discussed the meaning of the spilled salt container near Judas's elbow. Spilled salt could symbolize bad luck, loss, religion, or Jesus as salt of the earth.
Scholars have also remarked on da Vinci's choice of food. They dispute whether the fish on the table is herring or eel since each carries its own symbolic meaning. In Italian, the word for eel is "aringa." The similar word, "arringa," means to indoctrinate. In northern Italian dialect, the word for herring is "renga," which also describes someone who denies religion. This would fit with Jesus' biblical prediction that his apostle Peter would deny knowing him.
What makes the masterpiece so striking is the perspective from which it's painted, which seems to invite the viewer to step right into the dramatic scene. To achieve this illusion,
da Vinci hammered a nail
into the wall,
then tied string to it to make marks that
helped guide
his hand in creating the
painting's angles
Three of da Vinci's students,
including Giampietrino, made copies of his painting early in the 16th century.
Giampietrino did a full-scale copy that is now in London's
Royal Academy of Arts
This oil painting on canvas was the
primary resource
for the latest restoration of the work.
According to Italian musician Giovanni Maria Pala, da Vinci incorporated
musical notes in "The Last Supper."
In 2007, Pala created a 40-second melody from the notes that
were allegedly hidden in the scene.
In 1652, monastery residents cut a new door in the wall
of the deteriorating painting, which
removed a chunk of the artwork showing the feet of Jesus.
Late in the 18th century, Napoleon Bonaparte's
soldiers turned the area into a stable and
further damaged the wall with projectiles.
During World War II, the Nazis bombed the monastery,
reducing surrounding walls to rubble
Italian Cenacolo, painted a version between 1495 and 1498 for the Dominican monastery Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. It depicts the dramatic scene described in several closely connected moments in the Gospels, including Matthew 26:21–28, in which Jesus declares that one of the Apostles will betray him and later institutes the Eucharist. According to Leonardo’s belief that posture, gesture, and expression should manifest the “notions of the mind,” each one of the 12 disciples reacts in a manner that Leonardo considered fit for that man’s personality. The result is a complex study of varied human emotion, rendered in a deceptively simple composition.
The scene is not a frozen moment but rather a representation of successive moments. Jesus has declared his forthcoming betrayal, and the Apostles react. Philip, who stands in the group to Jesus’ left, gestures toward himself and seems to say, “Surely not I, Lord?” Jesus seems to reply, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me” (Matthew 26:23).
Simultaneously, Jesus and Judas, who sits with the group to Jesus’ right,
reach toward the same dish on the table between them,
an act that marks Judas as the betrayer.
Jesus also gestures toward a glass of wine and a piece of bread,
suggesting the establishment of the Holy Communion rite.
Jesus’ serene composure, with his head and eyes lowered, contrasts with the agitation of the Apostles. Their varying postures rise, fall, extend, and intertwine while remaining organized in groups of three.
James the Greater, to Christ’s left, throws his arms out angrily while the disbelieving Thomas, crouched behind James, points upward and seems to ask,
“Is this God’s plan?”
His gesture anticipates his later reunion with the resurrected Christ, a moment that was often represented in art with Thomas using his fingers to touch Christ’s wounds from the crucifixion to quell his doubts. Peter, who is identified by the knife in his hand that he will later use to sever the ear of a soldier attempting to arrest Jesus, moves toward the mild-tempered John, who sits to Jesus’ right and appears to swoon. Judas, gripping the purse that contains his reward for identifying Jesus, recoils from Peter, seemingly alarmed at the other Apostle’s quick action.
The rest of the Apostles appear to whisper, grieve, and debate among themselves.
The Creation
(John 1:1–5; Hebrews 11:1–3)
In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over
the surface of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
And God said,
"Let there be light,” and there was light.
God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.”
And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Light is used to symbolize God, faith, and
holiness throughout Scripture.
As Christians, we are called to not only walk in the light but to be the light for others.
When Jesus spoke again to the people,
he said, “I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life.”
Psalms 139:7-12
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
Three Rainbows
and
Connection To Christ
God put a rainbow in the clouds after the Flood.
In three other places in the Bible, rainbows are also mentioned.
Along with every rainbow painted in the sky since,
these symbols should have significance in our lives.
What is it?
Let’s examine the connection between Noah’s rainbow and the
three rainbows in the Bible.
We’ll find that these colored banners are more fundamental
to our faith than we realize.
Genesis 9:12-17
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
A rainbow vision
Shortly after the floodwaters recede, God reestablishes His covenant relationship with man. Mankind’s representative was Noah. In the span of Genesis 9:9-17, God mentions His covenant three times and His “sign of the covenant” three times as well. The first is a restoration of relationship, and the second an everlasting memorial of that relationship.
Seeing how both the covenant and its sign receive equal emphasis, it would seem we are encouraged to engage with other mentions of the rainbow to better understand our relationship with God.
Three rainbows in the Bible: Glory,
throne, and crown
There are three rainbows in the Bible after the account in Genesis.
When Ezekiel sees his visions of God, he says, “Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord” (Ezekiel 1:28).
On the island of Patmos, John sees “a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald” (Revelation 4:3).
John will then see another vision of “an angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire” (Revelation 10:1).
A sign of hope … for us
From these verses, there are three applications of the rainbows in the Bible. Let’s look at their significance in our lives.
First, the rainbow is a sign of hope in the
aftermath of judgment
Just like the rainbow in Noah’s day penetrated the clouds of judgment, God’s glory penetrates the dark clouds of sin and its effect on the earth. When tragedies have wrecked havoc in our lives, we can trust that God will restore us. We must remember his promises and that His grace overpowers sin.
Second, the rainbow surrounds the throne of Christ
It is His filter of judgment upon which He views the world. He sees his people (both obedient and disobedient) alongside rebellious men through the filter of the Covenant of Grace. We must also judge in a like manner. First, we judge as evil those who reject Christ and break His Law. Second, we refuse to associate (1 Corinthians 5:9-13) with those who trample under foot the blood of the covenant (Hebrews 10:29). Lastly, we do not bring judgment against a brother for anything but disobeying God. Or, as Jesus tells us, avoid judging by ‘appearances’ (John 7:24).
Third, the rainbow is the kingly crown of Christ
Jesus, through His work of redemption, was crowned with a sign of the Covenant of Grace (rainbow). Thus the rainbow reminds us of His sovereignty over our lives. God has the power to destroy the world. And we owe obedience to the One who holds back worldwide deconstruction. As much as the rainbow is a sign of the Covenant of Grace, it doubles as a declaration of complete authority over our lives. We must move under this multicolored banner of Christ by obedience to His Laws that apply to our jurisdiction.
The 7 Promises of God
It really is such a blessing to know that God,
Our Creator,
Is with us wherever we go; that we are not on our own! We are never beyond his view, and he is there with us to love, comfort, guide, and protect us in our daily lives. No one could ever know us better than God, and His love for each of us is unmatched, unconditional, and never ending!
Sometimes when we pray, it seems like no one is listening. It feels like a futile attempt to reach out to a God who is not listening. Yet, other times, it seems that the heavens open up and we are profoundly blessed with answers to our prayer. However, we must not lose heart when our prayers are not answered straight away, as God continues to work out all of details we are unaware of.
It is important to pray with great anticipation and trust that God will do what He has promised according to Holy Scripture. No, that does not mean life will be perfect, but it does mean we will never have to go it alone as God has promised us so often through scripture.
You may ask, What has God promised me?
Well scripture tells us that God has promised us the following
7 things through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior:
The 7 Promises of God
- I will be with you.
- I will protect you.
- I will be your strength.
- I will answer you.
- I will provide for you.
- I will give you peace.
- I will always love you.
I Will Be With You
I will be with you. First, He promises that He will be with us. This promise provides blessed reassurance that God will be with us in good times and bad; even through torrential rain and stormy waters. He will never leave us. Jesus is our constant companion at every moment of our lives. In both good times and bad, there is no where we can go that He is not with us. Even when we are steeped in a lifestyle of sin and destruction, He is there beckoning us to higher ground so we can follow His divine will, his path, in our lives, which leads to Eternal Life.
I Will Protect You
I Will Protect You. As Christians, Jesus Christ, God’s only son, is our Savior in every circumstance. Not just eternally, but in the day to day. When we call on Him for protection, in any circumstance, He is there. He changes hearts in relationships, and helps us to navigate uncharted waters. He heals us according to His Divine Will. He goes before us to protect us from danger, prepares the way in new circumstances, and protects us from the throes of despair if we fall into depression. We need to call upon Jesus and trust in His divine protection.
I Will Be Your Strength
I Will Be Your Strength. There are times when all of us feel as if we have lost our momentum, our direction, our direction, our strength. Those times when we feel lost and overwhelmed by things in our lives that leave us needing to experience and face our own weakness. It is during those times that we need to turn to Jesus as He IS our strength. He will rejuvenate and reinvigorate us, renewing us in body, mind and spirit so we can face life on its terms again. As scripture says: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13). He is our strength in times of weakness. As believing Christians, any real, enduring strength we have comes from Jesus Christ.
I Will Answer You
I will answer you. Sometimes I pray for myself and others and can hardly wait to see what God will do with those requests. Sometimes the answer is “Yes,” sometimes “No,” and sometimes “Maybe” or “Wait.” It’s all good. How he answers our pleas is really all up to Him, as we have, through prayer, given him the reigns. In essence, through prayer, we defer to our loving God who works all things for good. He may swiftly do what we have asked of Him, or he may help us grow in patience and fortitude. However it goes, we can trust he will work things out for good.
I Will Provide for You
I will provide for you. I know many people who live with various levels of financial need. Sometimes they can hardly make their monthly bills, and it is really hard—daunting, in fact. However, financial problems are not unlike other problems that arise. We need to do the best we can to pay our bills and give it to Jesus, trusting it will work out. The Bible tells us that God will provide. We may not have all that we want, but we always have what we need. We need to try to remember that though some people have more than we do, some have less. As we grow in gratitude to God for the blessings we have, we need to try to trust that God will provide for our all daily needs. That belief alone can remove some of the strain and worry of not having enough, and replace that worry with peace that surpasses understanding, even in times of adversity.
I Will Give You Peace
I will give you peace. When you invite Jesus into your heart, He will give you the greatest peace you have ever known. Pray for the fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life, and watch your perspective and circumstances change for the better. Peace is a precious gift from God, one that involves a wonderful feeling of well-being that reminds us that all is well when Jesus is with us. It occurs when we say “Yes” to Him in all things, and let our lives rest in Him.
I Will Always Love You
A sense of peace comes with love in our hearts, part and parcel of trusting in God. For with peace and God’s love, there is no hatred, no fear—just gratitude. Peace is the result of doing our part, then trusting in Jesus with all our being, believing that He is in control of all that happens in our lives. It is through God’s grace and mercy that we can grow in gratitude for all our blessings. It is a quiet knowing that we are blessed beyond measure, regardless of what ever life brings our way!
TALENTS OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW
1. MEANING OF THE COLORS:
Light passing through a prism is refracted or divided into the colors of the spectrum.
The Word of God (light) is divided among the archangels.
So we have not only the colors of the major four archangels but of the others also. Notice that White (God's) light consists of all colors, or Michael is chief among the archangels who all work under His authority, Psalm 110:4; Daniel 12:1; Revelation 12:7-11, 19:11. Black is the absence of color, meaning the powers of darkness are not covered by the protective shield of God.
Therefore, Gabriel has judged them for damnation, Daniel 9:21, (He is "the man") 5:5,27 (His hand judged the devils possessing Belshazzar), Ephesians 6:12; Revelation 4:7, 6:5-6. (He has power over darkness- Daniel 10:11-13,21. You can see which spirit gave Solomon wisdom and the KEY OF DARKNESS: Song of Solomon 1:5,6, (Are Blacks hated?)
1. {red}: John 5:22, 8:15, 17:22-23, 12:32, 6:37, 9:4, Ephesians 6:12, Romans 7:18-22, Isaiah 50:2, Jeremiah 50:20, Micah 7:18, Revelation 17:8, 5:13, 15:3,4
2. {orange}: Malachi 3:1-3,6,18, Isaiah 54:9-14, Jeremiah 31:31-36, 33:6, Genesis 9:8-17, Ezekiel 1:24-28, Revelation 10:1-7
3. {yellow}: Psalm 2:7,8, 82:6-8, 22:27-29, 102:18-22, 87, 139:13-16, 127:3, 65:2
4. {green}: Romans 3:21,22, 5:15-19, 8:18-22,36-39, 14:7-11
5. {blue}: Acts 17:24-28, Odes of Solomon 7,8,21
6. {purple}: Alpha and Omega, Revelation 1:11
2. RAINBOW AND COVENANT:
Since the angels (arch) are signified in parabolic color codes, we find
the rainbow shaped in an ARCH to signify the
PERPETUAL COVENANT God made with mankind,
Genesis 9:8-17.
Ezekiel saw the rainbow around the throne and the four archangels carrying the throne, or carrying God's Word, Ezekiel 1:4-28. Since the parabolic (Psalm 78:1-5) pattern of Heaven was given to Moses as the tabernacle he constructed (Exodus 25:8-9; Isaiah 40:22, 66:1) we find that the ark which housed the Ten Commandments was allegorical. Its four sides represented the four archangels who carry the Word (Throne) of God also, Psalm 18:8,10; Ezekiel 1:20-24. Thus the "ark of the covenant" which the priests carried signified the four archangels. As an object to teach us the spiritual "reality," the one they carried is no more, Jeremiah 3:14-17. God has opened up His body to you, Ode 12:3, Revelation 11:19, 21:22. John saw the spiritual real thing, and Moses' schoolmaster device was done away, Galatians 3:23-25. (Christ's body of flesh was his ark, and the Word was in his heart, Hebrews 10:5,7.) The "crown" of the ark represented the "throne power" God gave the four archangels, Zechariah 6:9-14. Moses in the ark on the river also signified the saving power of the archangels since God used him to represent His Word (throne), Exodus 2:2-10; Deuteronomy 5:22-28; Isaiah 63:9; Luke 16:22. We might also add the analogy of Noah's ark and learn its spiritual lesson. Noah and his sons represented the four archangels, and the ark itself signified their saving power. The clean animals represented men with understanding, Romans 12:1, and the "unclean" animals were men with no knowledge, Psalm 49:20; Acts 10:9-20. Therefore, Noah's offspring formed the four major races of mankind under the colors (authority and covenant) of the archangels: (1) Negroids- Blacks (2) Caucasoids- Whites (3) Mongoloids- Pale or Yellow (4) Indians: "redskins"- Red, Revelation 6:1-8. To HARK means to HEAR the ARCH -angels:
3. CIRCLES mean archangels carry the JUDGMENT POWER: Ezekiel 10:12-13, 14:12-21; Revelation 6:1-8; II Esdras 5:42, Chapter 16.
4. SHIELD: The rainbow rose is a shield over the heart. God and the angels are the shield, Genesis 15:1; II Chronicles 16:9; Isaiah 58:8,10. Over the heart shows the Word is also inside the heart, Psalm 40:7-8.
5. ROSE FLOWER is the sign of resurrection, and the angels were witnesses! The red rose in particular with thorns is the flower symbol of Christ. He has power (Matthew 28:18; Luke 10:18-19) and his blood was shed for us, Hebrews 2:9-15. He died and HE ROSE as our number "l" HERO under God! Amen! Amen! He's a FINE FLOWER, Isaiah 40:6, 53:10-12; Sirach 35:2. The rose of Sharon with its four colors symbolize the four Archangels.
THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT
1. The Covenant of God is in the blood, Exodus 24:8; Hebrews 13:20.
2. The TRUE COVENANT is signified by the RAINBOW, Genesis 9:8-17.
3. Jesus and the archangels are this Covenant, which is really Jesus' and the ARCH angels' color symbols. They are the glory of God around the throne for perpetual remembrance, Ezekiel 1:24-28. This is in the Most Holy Place beyond the veil, Zechariah 4:1-6, 6:1-5; Hebrews 9:6-8.
4. The Holy Ghost shown as an angel standing with God's authority over land and sea is the MESSENGER OF THE COVENANT, and he preaches this theme as God's thoughts using it as a helmet of salvation, Exodus 25:17-20; Isaiah 55:8-11, 59:16-17; Malachi 3:1-3; Revelation 10:1,5-7. THIS MESSAGE MUST BE YOUR HELMET OF SALVATION AND A JOY IN YOUR HEART, Isaiah 55:8-9; Ephesians 6:17.
5. God made ALL MEN including the body of Jesus FROM ONE BLOOD: Psalm 72:14; Acts 17:24-28.
All came from one source. Jesus' blood
first was Mary's!
6. (1) There is NO DIFFERENCE between the blood of Christ shed on the cross and all men's blood. (2) Also, Jesus owns us, and therefore, WE HAVE JESUS' BLOOD IN OUR HEARTS for those two reasons, Hebrews 2:14-15.
7. When God said He would "write the covenant in our hearts," He spoke a mystery He planned to reveal in THE END which HE HAD FINISHED in the beginning, Ecclesiastes 3:14; Isaiah 44:6-8, 45:24-25, 46:9,13, 56:1; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 4:3. This is for our enemies, Proverbs 10:12; Isaiah 48:3-8.
8. I am a registered medical laboratory technologist and formerly a supervisor at St. Mary Medical Center in Gary, IN. I made a bloodslide and held it before light, and I noticed the colors of the rainbow in the patient's blood film. Holding any man before the light of God's truth shows God's covenant is his Most High portion. God has done this as a crushing proof against ALL LIES that SOME MEN are not His children and cannot come under God's Covenant. This is the case with anyone's blood on a glass slide before staining. The spirit told me at that point that God was showing me a revelation of a mystery never before known to man. Our Creator put built in proof in the blood of mankind that all of us are bound by His PERPETUAL COVENANT (rainbow) of eternal life, Psalm 25:14; Proverbs 21:30; Isaiah 44:6-8. God is the best witness of His works, and I, as a professional in my field, (medical technology) am another witness!
Acts 15:17-18.
9. All men are sons of God by the blood of the covenant. God put proof in the blood (rainbow colors on a dried blood slide when held before direct light) that the covenant is already in our hearts from the beginning when He finished His work and rested! Isaiah 28:14-19; Ezekiel 20:33-38. In the text in Ezekiel, the rebels are devils to be cast out of people, Luke 8:28-35,38. When unclean evil spirits are cast out of men, then they will be "in their right minds" and will be ready to follow God! Hold slide before light and tilt to see rainbow or hold in ray of sunbeam so rainbow is cast on white paper 2 feet away, Isaiah 54:11; Malachi 3:6,17; I Peter 2:5.
MORNING STAR
1. What's this beautiful rainbow flying through the sky?
2. Who're these beautiful doves that fly glowing different lights?
3. Fifteen warriors for Jesus, an army though so small.
4. They will rule the nations with the iron rod.
5. Every man in his armor, weapons in His hand.
6. Wearing the banner of Israel.... They've been redeemed from man.
refrain
7. Well, the Lord has turned His eyes on the stars!
8. He has turned us a glimpse with His eyes.
9. And the power of His look touched my heart.
10. And now I can be a morning star!
11. And now I can be a morning star!
12. See the beautiful diamond crown you're wearing on your head.
13. And your clothes were spun from gold made by Christ's hand.
14. Equipped with power to quake the earth at His beck and call.
15. You will hedge the saints of God and bring them to the fold.
