Nehemiah 9:1-38; Zechariah 5:1-6:15; Revelation 14:1-20
I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Revelation 22:16
The little town of Bethlehem in New Hampshire, USA, has a prominent theatre which people visit to see famous actors performing. Flags fly from poles in the town declaring “Where the Stars Come Out”. It made me think of Bethlehem where the star in the sky led those wise men to where the Lord was born. There were no flags flying then despite the fact a different star was born— “the Daystar” and “the Dayspring from on high”. Christians await with joyful anticipation His reappearing in glory bright. —Brian Powlesland
We wait to see the Morning Star appearing in glory bright;
This blessed hope illumes, with beams most cheering, the hours of night. —M. C.
