Day 11: The Morning Star
Proclamation #6 “…And I will give him the morning star.” (Revelation 2:28) I found this program online called “Stellarium.” It is a fantastic program to explore the night sky. You can go back to any point in time, or forward to any point to see exactly how the stars and planets align. It is with this program I tried to track down the celestial events around the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus. I was able to find some very interesting stuff. Including what many think the morning star is, Venus. During certain seasons with a clear sky, you can see it in the east in the early hours…

Day 12: Glory In White
Proclamation #7 “Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment;” (Revelation 3:4-5a) We have all heard the expression, “Walk with Me.” It reminds me of an intriguing custom they have in Saudi Arabia. I remember seeing the President of the United States and the Saudi leader walk around holding hands. With a great display of intimacy, they continued walking for some time in front of the cameras, hand in hand. Apparently, this is to show friendship and unity between the…

Day 13: Book Of Life
Proclamation #8 “And I will not blot out his name out of the book of life” (Revelation 3:5b) We just read in the seventh Proclamation, that those written in the book are to be shining forth like the horizon and the bright stars of the sky forever. Now in eighth Proclamation we read that those who have not defiled their garments “will not be blotted out of the Book of Life.” This means only those written in the Lambs Book of Life are allowed into Heaven. “And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they…

Day 14: Confession
Proclamation #9 “I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.” (Revelation 3:5c) When I was young, I was with my best friend riding in his dad’s car. It was a real Junker. It spewed black smoke, had rust all over, and windows that did not work. Needless to say when they called it “Black Beauty,” they were being sarcastic. At night, they did not bother locking the doors. This way if someone wanted to steal anything, it would not receive any further damage. Well, there I was in “Black Beauty” as we drove into the apartment complex we lived in. We passed by a guy…

Day 15: Justification
Proclamation #10 “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.” (Revelation 3:9) Through the Jewish nation, God has brought a deliverer to save the world. Through the Jewish Messiah Jesus, our Christ has made the payment for sin. Through His Jewish disciples, the gospel has spread all over the world. Jewish writers being moved through the Holy Spirit wrote the majority of New Testament. The same thing is to be said…
