And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:3-8 KJVWhen we understand the vision John had and know deep within our hearts that God always has our best interests at heart--we can find comfort in His Word, not fear.
We can be comforted in knowing that no matter how foolish men and women act life, there will come a time when all will stand before God and give an account of what we've done.
We can know--with assurance--that it won't be long now--not based on our calendar days, but in God's timing--before we begin our second life--living with Him for all eternity.
Looking at all the turmoil and violence in the world--with all the confusion about "everything" I can only cry unto the Lord, "Come quickly!"
We know that God is not the author of confusion and since He is not--Satan is.
We know that God does not promote hatred and fear and since He does not--Satan does.
More importantly, we know that when people ignore God or refuse to obey Him, He allows the enemy to wreck havoc in our lives--until we reach the place where we understand, we can do nothing without Him.
We are our own worst enemy when we refuse to obey Him in all things.
All of the foolishness over which people get angry and rebellious will soon pass away.
There is no politics in Heaven for the King of Kings is sovereign. There are no religious banners denoting which denoting different denominations hanging in Heaven for there is but One Lord!
There is no sickness and disease in Heaven and no reason for there to be pain.
There is no difference of opinion in Heaven for only the like-minded in Christ shall reside there.
There is no black or white or red or brown or any other barrier in Heaven that will separate humanity (in its glorified body) from enjoying The Lord!
Hallelujah! Soon and very soon!
