Desire, Relief, and Rejoicing describe our motivation to keep the Days of Unleavened Bread. But why does God specify SEVEN days of unleavened bread?

The Holy City Music: Sephen Adams 1844-1913 Words: Frederick E. Weatherly 1848-1929 Accompaniment: Erling Jan Sørensen Vocal: Kelly Irvin Lyrics Last night I lay a sleeping There came a dream so fair, I stood in old Jerusalem Beside the temple there. I heard the children singing, And ever as they sang Methought the voice of angels From heaven in answer rang, Methought the voice of angels From heaven in answer rang. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Lift up your gates and sing, Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna to your King! And then methought my dream was changed, The streets no longer rang. Hushed were the glad Hosannas The little children sang. The sun grew dark with mystery, The morn was cold and chill, As the shadow of a cross arose Upon a lonely hill, As the shadow of a cross arose Upon a lonely hill. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Hark! How the angels sing, Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna to your King! And once again the scene was changed, New earth there seemed to be. I saw the Holy City Beside the tideless sea. The light of God was on its streets, The gates were open wide, And all who would might enter, And no one was denied. No need of moon or stars by night, Or sun to shine by day; It was the new Jerusalem That would not pass away, It was the new Jerusalem That would not pass away. Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Sing for the night is o'er! Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna forever more! Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna forever more! _______________ Offered by Kelly Irvin, September 25, 2014, at United Church of God in Northwest Arkansas.

LYRICS Last night I lay a sleeping There came a dream so fair, I stood in old Jerusalem Beside the temple there.

The word, "glory", and its derivatives are used over 400 times in the Bible, and it reveals to us multiple values relating to God's creation and the family of God. We were designed to reflect the glory of God, and God's plan is to bring us, fallen from that relationship since the Garden of Eden, back into that designed harmony.
