DAY 360 Read Revelation 12 through 15.
Today's reading: What tremendous visions! The woman clothed with the sun, strange beasts, angel voices sounding from the sky, Christ descending on a cloud, angels holding vessels full of a potent mixture--powerful symbols indeed!
Memory gem: "Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters" (Revelation 14:7).
Thought for today:
The more we study nature, the more we see the evidence and marks of a Master Workman. No mere apprentice started the constellations in their majestic march across the midnight sky or kindled the myriad blazing suns in the Milky Way! No novice planned the atomic arraignment in the molecule, the whirl of electrons, or the laws of chemical reaction.
The indelible signature of the Master Workman is everywhere: in the vibrations of light and sound, in the eye of an insect, in the ear of man, in the color of a sunset, in the bright shimmer of stars. He made them; He sustains them.
The power and divinity of Jesus Christ need to be proclaimed today. The so-called modernism in the church today and the evolutionary doubt expressed in many a pulpit have sadly reduced some preachers to mere animated question marks.
In this age of evolutionary skepticism, the world and the church need a strong message as an antidote to the anti-scriptural naturalism which dominates modern thinking. In the fourteenth chapter of Revelation we have just such a worldwide message described. In fact, we read there the main parts of the message itself and find that it announces God's call back to creationism and away from evolution.
This mighty message declares that this is a moral universe because men must face the judgment hour; and it calls upon all men to worship the living God, whose creative power is proclaimed by every part of the universe. These words in Revelation 14:7 are quoted almost verbatim from the fourth commandment, where the Sabbath which Christ made at creation and honored in His flesh, is described. Surely, such a prophetic forecast of a world message which exalts Christ as Creator and Redeemer should claim our earnest attention.
