Glimpses of God
From Glory to Glory
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars,
which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son
of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the
angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have
dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all
generations. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that
water the earth. In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of
peace so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast
day.
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall
endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established
for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. The sun shall
not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. Moreover the light of the moon
shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,
as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of
his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the
Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be
ended. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from
one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the
Lord.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory
of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. Let no man
therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the
new moon, or of the sabbath days.
