DAY 1 -

natural law is est.  

Prophets work from these principles and help others to see them.  

Brazen Altar -

sacrifices for sin AND thanks-

giving

prophets represent the extremes here...

both the awful reality of sin AND the glory of Gods redemption and restoration.

Water to Wine

Prop. is drawn to the power encounter...to demonstrate the

triumph of God over all!

The calling of the prophet demands first fruits.  

In fact it seems that God requires more in this area w/ prophets.

Example:

Ezekiel

“Father forgive them...”  

The miracle of the forgive-ness in the face of great pain.  

Inspire and envision others to fulfill their birthright...

Done by living out the example...

Battlefields

forgiveness of self and others when there is perceived failure.  

Cooperate with the ways of God
