God's Blessings to
Obedient Nations
Book of Isaiah
Chapter 60
We should all
understand that there is no one more secure than those who place
their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ!
The truth is, in the
last days of human history, the Lord Jesus Christ will return to set
up God's Kingdom on this earth for 1000 years!
It is after this
that God will create a New Heaven and a New Earth for all His people
and the history of this world will be over and no other books will be
written about this earth, it will not exist as a place for the
living!
Rev_19:3 And again
they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Rev 21:1 And I saw
a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first
earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:5 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.
Throughout history,
the city of Jerusalem has been destroyed time after time but it has
always been rebuilt.
There was the
Assyrian destruction, the Babylon destruction, and the devastation by
Rome recorded in the Bible and many battles surrounding Jerusalem
since that time.
The nation of Israel
is so tiny, one would wonder why it is constantly in the news today.
It is really very
simple. Most all this world hates the God of Israel and not Israel
itself!
It astounds me that
so many in America ridicule the Christian because of our faith in
Jesus Christ and say we all worship the same God. If that is so true
then why is the Nation of Israel always under the attack of all
Muslim countries?
The truth is
Jerusalem will continue to be the focus of the world, simply because
of what God says and the rest of the world trying to stop what God
said He will do! They will find that this is impossible!
If everyone in the
world truly believe we all worship the same God, then why does this
entire world try to end the future of Jerusalem as described by the
Word of God.
What does God say?
Rom_3:4 God forbid:
yea, "let God be true, but every man a liar"; as it is
written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest
overcome when thou art judged.
What else does God
say?
*****Isa 60:1
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is
risen upon thee.
It is said that in
the East that the Sun does not rise as we understand the rising of
the Sun. In the East, the Sun leaps above the horizon.
When those people
feel it is time for sunrise, then suddenly it is already up in all
its glory.
We should clearly
understand that this is the same way the Lord will return. When we
know that we live in the last days before the Lord returns at any
moment the Glory of the Lord will appear in the Eastern Sky.
Why the Eastern Sky?
So, the world will clearly see that the Messiah is much brighter than
the Sun He created!
Of course, we also
know that the only thing that will happen before this day is, the
Lord will meet the Church in the clouds!
Rom 8:18 For I
reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be
compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Rom 8:19 For the
earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of
the sons of God.
1Th 4:16 For the
Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we
which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with
the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore
comfort one another with these words.
There is still
coming a day when Jerusalem will be lit by the glory of God and in
New Jerusalem there will be no darkness at all.
The world seems to
think that light comes before darkness but this is backwards and this
has always been backwards.
God brought light
into a dark world!
Gen 1:1 In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the
earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of
the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3 And God
said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And why will the
Lord appear in all His glory and bring a new light to Jerusalem
because again after the Church has been removed, this world will be
in total darkness, not because the Sun does not shine but because
this entire world will be in the darkness of sin and depravity!
God again will bring
light to darkness, when He brings the glorious Light of the Lord,
into this dark and evil world!
*****Isa 60:2 For,
behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the
people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be
seen upon thee.
We may think of New
York City as the one point of light in this world but the fact
remains that it is the city of Jerusalem that is the one point of
light on the entire surface of this earth!
Jerusalem is still
known as the city of God!
Even those of Islam
and other false religions, call Jerusalem the Holy City!
Psa 68:15 The hill
of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
Psa 68:16 Why leap
ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in;
yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
What did Moses ask
of God?
Exo_33:18 And he
said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
How did God respond?
Exo 33:19 And he
said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will
proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to
whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew
mercy.
God did not say to
Moses, let me show you how powerful I am.
God did not say let
me show you all my infinite wisdom.
God did not say let
me show you all my glorious possessions.
God simply said to
Moses, "Let Me Show You My Goodness"!
The Gospel of the
Lord Jesus Christ is God's Goodness, (Good News) and God's Goodness
comes from God's "Mercy"!
The "Glory"
of God's goodness is seen in the "gift" of His Son!
When the Sun arises
in the morning, it will always show God's creation in it's true
colors.
When the Son of God
first came to shine His Light upon this earth, He opened our eyes to
the truth of the Word of God!
We should clearly
understand that the Church has no light of its own, that Light is of
Jesus Christ!
We will see that
again darkness will cover this earth after the "Rapture" of
the Church and again this earth will be covered in spiritual
darkness.
Just as Egypt lay in
"thick darkness" by the words of Moses, the children of
Israel had light in their dwellings.
When Jerusalem is
lightened again by the Lord, the glory of God will shine from King
Jesus on the throne of God!
Again, the Lord will
arise upon this earth and His glory will be centered on the city of
Jerusalem. (Zion)
We know that the
Lord ascended from the Mount of Olives and this same place is where
He will return.
The Book of
Leviticus describes this event.
Lev 9:23 And Moses
and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out,
and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all
the people.
Lev 9:24 And there
came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the
burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they
shouted, and fell on their faces.
It is Jerusalem that
is destined to first receive the Light and the Glory of God, when the
Messiah returns but the whole world will be witnesses!
There is nothing
that can stop the return of the Lord because it is destined by God
Himself!
Isa 59:20 And the
Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from
transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
Rom_11:26 And so
all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of
Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
God has made this
"Covenant" (this guarantee) with the children of Israel.
Isa 59:21 As for
me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is
upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not
depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of
the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for
ever.
But many Gentiles
will also flow into the City, lit by the Glory of God!
*****Isa 60:3 And
the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of
thy rising.
Isa 60:4 Lift up
thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together,
they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters
shall be nursed at thy side.
It is the "Glory
of the Lord" the King of kings, the Lord of lords, that will
draw all nations to Jerusalem!
The Millennial
Kingdom will be a time of worship and centered in Jerusalem it will
be the place of worship!
It is these Gentiles
who make sure that the "remnant" of the Jews gets back
home.
This could also mean
that some of the Jews will carry dear Gentile friends to be with the
Lord, just as Oriental mothers carried small children on their hip
with their arm around them to keep them from falling.
This could also
describe Jerusalem as the Mother of all the children of God!
In any case, it is
the flow of God's people that remain after the 7 years of tribulation
and the wrath of God, into the Holy City!
The Holy City of
Jerusalem will not only be the center of worship but it will also be
the center of world-wide commerce!
*****Isa 60:5 Then
thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be
enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto
thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
Once we are
enlightened by the Word of God, our eyes can be opened to the truth!
The eyes of God's
chosen nation will be opened and they will flock to the truth of God!
Hos 1:11 Then shall
the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered
together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out
of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Rom 11:15 For if
the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall
the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
The entire world
left after the 7-year Tribulation Period will flock to the "City
of God"!
Isa 2:2 And it
shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S
house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be
exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
Those that cannot
come by land will come by sea along with all commerce by sea.
We know that most of
the wealth of this world is now used for evil purposes or hoarded for
personal gain but in the time of Christ, all the wealth of this world
will finally be used to promote the truth of God and the care of
those who have a great need.
The wealth of this
world will be used in the service of the true Church!
What cannot make it
by sea will come by land!
*****Isa 60:6 The
multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and
Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and
incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.
Isa 60:7 All the
flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of
Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance
on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
It could be said
that this not only represents the world financial system, operating
under the leadership of the Lord but we can see that this area
represents those that remain of Ishmael being turned to Christianity
and those that remain of the daughters of Lot.
They all shall show
praise to the Lord. Notice this is Jehovah, the Holy God of Israel
and not those imaginary gods they had been led to believe!
The truth is there
will be no one in the world of that day, who will be homeless.
No one will be naked
in need of clothes.
There will be no one
starving for lack of food.
There will never
again be a famine of the Word of God!
Repeatedly we also
see the descendants of Ishmael return to the Lord.
We should also
understand that these animals are not brought to the Lord for
sacrifice but to be included in the service of the church!
All people will
gladly present their offerings to the Lord!
The Lord does not
need anything we have but He will always accept offerings that come
from the heart!
And then "Who
are these fly as a cloud"?
*****Isa 60:8 Who
are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
In fact, has we have
seen in other lessons, those that would return to Jerusalem are in
such a great number, they are compared to the clouds.
Heb 12:1 Wherefore
seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so
easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set
before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that
was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set
down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Those that come to
the Lord will be as the gentle dove!
They will be loving.
They will be
harmless.
They will be meek
and humble.
They will return as
if they had lost their mate and had found Him again.
The dove mates for
life and so does the true Christian to the Lord Jesus!
*****Isa 60:9
Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first,
to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them,
unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel,
because he hath glorified thee.
Isa 60:10 And the
sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall
minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, "but in my
favour have I had mercy on thee".
Just as in the days
of Solomon, all will try their best to sit at the feet of Jesus and
hear His wisdom.
Just as in the days
of Cyrus, it will be the Gentile world that will finance the
rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple for another time after the
wrath of God.
Even much greater
than the wrath of God, is His mercy!
During the Church
Age, we actually live in the day of God's "Mercy"!
God has provided a
means for eternal salvation for each and every believer because of
His "Mercy"!
God will restore
Israel because of His "Mercy"!
These are the two
promises God has made with His created humans and He just ask us to
trust Him and why not, what in this world is so promising as the Word
of God!
Eph 2:4 But God,
who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when
we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by
grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath
raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the
ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his
kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by
grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of
works, lest any man should boast.
There have been many
kings who have tried to take Jerusalem throughout history who have
tried to make the city of Jerusalem the dominant capitol of this
world and they have failed.
These include
Solomon, Cyrus, Darius, Artaxerxes, Alexander the Great, Constantine,
Theodosius, Charlemagne, just to name a few that we may know, but
when the "King of kings" sits on the throne of Israel the
city of Jerusalem will truly become the "City of Peace"!
During the time of
the Messiah here on this earth for those 1000 years, God will rule
with a "rod of iron" that is used with "Mercy"
and "Grace"!
Therefore, the gates
of the city of Jerusalem will be continuously open!
*****Isa 60:11
Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut
day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the
Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
Isa 60:12 For the
nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those
nations shall be utterly wasted.
During the 1000
years of the Millennial Kingdom, this world will actually know what
peace is all about!
There will be no
fear of enemies entering the City of Jerusalem nor any other city.
When I was growing
up, we could roam anywhere and were safe in doing so.
Those days will
return for the children born during the Millennial reign of the Lord!
All who seek the
Lord will be able to see Him in person!
Those who are poor
will kneel, side by side by those who were kings at the feet of the
Lord.
There will be no
disagreement with anything that the Lord will do or what the Lord
will say!
Rev_19:15 And out
of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the
nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth
the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Many call New York
City the city that never sleeps and it is sin that keeps this city
awake but Jerusalem, when the Lord Jesus sits on the throne, will
never sleep because of righteousness!
There will be no
lawlessness at all because, all who will not serve the Lord will
perish!
Those who say that a
loving God would never do such a thing are fools who ignore the truth
of God!
Psa 2:10 Be wise
now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Psa 2:11 Serve the
LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the
Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is
kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in
him.
There only be one
law and that will be the Law of God, in fact it will be much like
Heaven on Earth now under the direct law of God.
The Lord Jesus died
on Calvary's cross because He was rejected! During the Millennial
reign of Christ all those who reject the Lord Jesus Christ will be
removed from this earth and will perish!
Jerusalem will be a
place of beauty!
*****Isa 60:13 The
glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree,
and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I
will make the place of my feet glorious.
Isa 60:14 The sons
also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and
all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of
thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of
the Holy One of Israel.
We know the Temple
of the Lord will have been rebuilt and Jerusalem will be a place of
beauty!
It can be said that
similar materials used to build the Temple of Solomon will be used to
build this new Temple, some say the Temple described by Ezekiel.
(Ezekiel 41-42)
This Temple will
also be a place of reverence, for our Lord Jesus will honor this
Temple with His presence!
The truth is, it was
many of the Jews who persecuted the Church and since these have been
converted even they will serve in the Church and accept the Lord
Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords!
There will also be
Gentiles of many nations who will do the same!
Jerusalem which is
now home to most every religion on the face of this earth, will again
be known as the City of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel!
The city that has
been called so may names such as barren and desolate, will become a
true thing of beauty.
In truth, the door
of salvation has been wide open since the Messiah, Lord Jesus Christ
first came to establish His Church!
The world is just so
full of darkness that most cannot find the doorway to Christ, because
of the darkness of sin in their lives!
Mat_7:14 Because
strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.
God will soon
execute judgment upon all that is evil and all darkness will be
removed and the way to the Lord will be clearly lit!
Some things will
still never change:
1) Access into God's
presence is still only granted to those who call on the name of Jesus
Christ!
The Lord Jesus
Christ is "that Gate", "that Door" that leads to
eternal life!
Joh 10:9 I am the
door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in
and out, and find pasture.
Joh 10:10 The thief
cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come
that they might have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly.
Joh 10:11 I am the
good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
2) Access into God's
presence is granted only to those who now know the truth of God's
Word, this will never change!
Joh 14:6 Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.
Joh 14:7 If ye had
known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye
know him, and have seen him.
3) Access into God's
presence is only allowed to those who turn away from sin and turn
toward the Lord. (Repent)
Heb 10:19 Having
therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood
of Jesus,
Heb 10:20 By a new
and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil,
that is to say, his flesh;
Heb 10:21 And
having an high priest over the house of God;
Heb 10:22 Let us
draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our
hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with
pure water.
These things will
never change in any age since the time of Christ.
And the city that
has seen so much turmoil since the time of King David will then
become the City of Peace!
*****Isa 60:15
Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went
through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many
generations.
Isa 60:16 Thou
shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast
of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy
Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
Zion was once
forsaken by her Maker, as a wife is forsaken because of her
adulteries.
Jer_13:27 I have
seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy
whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto
thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once
be?
It must be that same
Maker who would make Zion an eternal excellency and a joy for many
generations!
Jer 30:17 For I
will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds,
saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is
Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
Jer 30:18 Thus
saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's
tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be
builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the
manner thereof.
Jer 30:19 And out
of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make
merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will
also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
Jer 30:20 Their
children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be
established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
God will always do
what He says He will do and it is this very thing in which we must
place our "faith"!
Now, the wealth of
the world will be used to promote the "Gospel" of the Lord
Jesus Christ centered upon Zion, Jerusalem!
*****Isa 60:17 For
brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for
wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace,
and thine exactors righteousness.
Time and time again,
the gold of the Temple had been stolen or given away and replaced
with brass and so with the silver and the other valuables but now all
these things would be returned to do what they were intended to do!
Jerusalem has gone
through so many hands and devastation all these years that in reality
much of the world hates this city.
Even today not many,
including many Jews, even want Jerusalem declared the capitol city of
Israel.
In the day of the
Messiah, Jerusalem will become the most prized possession of all the
citizens of this earth and all the nations of this world will provide
to make this so!
All the government
of the world, will be centered in Jerusalem and true peace will be
the theme of the government and righteousness will be the law of the
land!
Righteousness is not
only doing things right but it is doing things that are morally
right!
Righteousness is the
character of God!
Psa 119:142 Thy
righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the
truth.
For 1000 years this
world we live in now, will undergo a major transition.
*****Isa 60:18
Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction
within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy
gates Praise.
The truth is there
will be no prisons, no jails, no police officers and no need for a
military because there will be no violence in the streets when the
Lord sits on His throne in Jerusalem.
Isa 2:4 And he
shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they
shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war any more.
Isa 11:6 The wolf
also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with
the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.
Isa 11:7 And the
cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down
together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
Isa 11:8 And the
sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child
shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
Isa 11:9 They shall
not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be
full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Isa 35:8 And an
highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of
holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for
those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
Isa 35:9 No lion
shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall
not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
Isa 35:10 And the
ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and
everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
This will be a world
that has repented because it will only have in it a people who have
repented and returned to the Lord!
The prophecies of
God will continue to be fulfilled!
Isa 9:6 For unto us
a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be
upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the
increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the
throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish
it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The
zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Salvation comes by
the purpose of God through the Lord Jesus Christ!
It was the Lord
Jesus Christ (Messiah) who came to this lost world to restore those
who would commit themselves to Him to that harmony of God which had
been lost because of the sin of Adam! (Disobedience to the Word of
God)
Salvation is our
wall of protection because it is assured by the Lord!
Praise is our
gateway into the presence of God!
God warns us today
to think about these promises before it is too late:
Psa 50:22 Now
consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and
there be none to deliver.
Psa 50:23 Whoso
offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his
conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
To be saved is to
live in the "Glory" of the Lord forever!
*****Isa 60:19 The
sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall
the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an
everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Isa 60:20 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.
Without the darkness
that sin has brought to this world all who have committed themselves
to the Lord during the Tribulation period will see a new light!
Gen 1:2 And the
earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of
the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3 And God
said, Let there be light: and there was light.
That Light was the
Son of God at that time and it will be the glory of the Son of God
who will light up this world in the 1000 years He will sit upon His
earthly throne!
Eze 43:2 And,
behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east:
and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined
with his glory.
Just as light enters
a dark room, The Lord Jesus Christ will scatter all the darkness of
this world, leaving no place for it to hide there will not even be a
shadow of darkness.
There will be no
ignorance of the Word of God. The truth of God will be constant and
there will also be no shadow of change in God's Word!
What we find if we
look is, that the Word of God is consistent from the Book of Genesis
through the Book of Revelation and we have never seen our God change
in anything that He has said or that He has ever done.
This will always be
true!
When all the world
does the right things according to the Word of God, we will once
again know the paradise of God!
*****Isa 60:21 Thy
people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for
ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be
glorified.
Isa 60:22 A little
one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the
LORD will hasten it in his time.
Once again, the
world will be a people planted by their Creator, the work of the
hands of God!
Gen 2:7 And the
LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen 2:8 And the
LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man
whom he had formed.
In truth, we all as
sinners have realized that pain and sorrow are the only fruits of
sin. Once sin has disappeared all sorrow will go with it!
I have said many
times that we cannot truly enjoy a good day until we have been though
a bad day.
We will never know
the truth of joy until all sorrow is gone from this world!
When the Lord Jesus
Christ was upon this earth the Church began with 12 fishers of men
and by the end of the 1000-year Millennial Kingdom it will have grown
into a strong nation!
None of these things
will find their completion until the Lord returns, first to take His
Church out of this world and second to rid this world of sin!
When it is time, the
Lord will come quickly!
What is the Lord
waiting on?
2Pe_3:9 The Lord is
not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.
The Lord will not
return until that very last soul is saved to end the Church Age!

Let's Pray!
