Beautiful!

He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also, he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end; Ecc. 3:11 (KJV). Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.; Ecc. 3:11 (NLT).

In Hebrew, beautiful is called, yapheh:  יָפֶה. In semitic root word, the word is used by craftsmen who design, precisely, in right settings, build something, which stands out in appearance, which could bring intense pleasure and deep satisfaction to one’s mind. (Hebrew word study). 

Recently, my late-night flight from Washington D.C to my home, I was at the window seat gazing at the aircraft, descending. Just around 30 minutes to landing I was blessed to see the heavenly displayed ray of colours with much excitement: arura, shooting stars, enormous number of brightly shone stars and couple of planets, visible in size at least 6 times bigger than what we normally view with our naked eye standing on earth. I was reminded with awe and excitement of “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” Psa: 19:1, (KJV).

         There are two times in God’s Word, where we notice the heavens heralded with songs, at the grandeur of moments! The first time was at the moment of creation; “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” Job: 38: 4-7.

          The second time was when the angels heralded singing at the coming of the New Creation in Christ, “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luk: 2:13-14. “The first preacher of the gospel was an angel. God hath now taken this honour from the angels, and put it upon the ministers, who in Scripture are called angels, Rev: 2:1.” (Trapp)

The Divine Maestro: Hebrew word is, מאסטרו אלוהי (maestra alohi), which means, heavenly master, organizer, the eminent composer, conductor, usually of art and music. (Hebrew word study). Maestro (/ˈmaɪstroʊ/; from the Italian maestro [maˈestro; maˈɛstro], meaning "master" or "teacher")^[1] is an honorific title of respect (plural: maestros or maestri). The term is most commonly used in the context of Western classical music and opera, in line with the ubiquitous use of Italian musical terms. (Wikipedia)
