The final heart-lifting words of the ‘song and music’ of the Bible triumphs with the words, in a voice as the sound of many waters,
‘Behold I create all things new.’
The answer comes back,
Worthy is the Lamb; Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power, for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
The wonderful ‘oratorio’ is concluded with an invitation, that deepens and widens as the glory of the Creator and His plan of restoration and redemption spreads from shore to shore. The ‘choir’ takes up the words
The Spirit and the Bride say, Come. And let him that heareth, say Come. And let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely. Revelation 22:17.
God is appealing to you in many different ways – if this has aroused in you a thirst for something better, you will not be turned away.
These pages then, will introduce just one of the discordant recurring themes of the Bible found in the this Creation Symphony. It has been slipped in by the powers of darkness and keeps recurring. It is the theme of ‘False worship under the guise of worship of the true God.’
It is written in the Bible, in Romans 1:21-25.
When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Originally people may have worshipped bulls and birds, the sun, moon and stars, or fish, all things created by God; but today those have been replaced by more subtle things – the traditions of men. Revelation tells us it will eventually be man himself, and the majority of people will worship with honest hearts not knowing the changes that have been made to God’s plan. Here is the warning from God.
Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as God, sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
