Mystery

BEHOLD, I TELL YOU A MYSTERY, WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP,

BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED...

I magnify You, my God, for Your absolute purity, honliness and justice as the Judge to whom all people must give an account.  I praise You that Your fairness is intertwined with everything You do, that when the time is ripe You will end all sin and injustice, all corruption, all immorality...that You will right all wrongs and reward all loving service and suffering for Your sake.

Thank You that Your Son will return from heaven with a shout of triumph, that the dead in Christ will be raised imperishable...and in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, we shall all be utterly changed.  We shall see the radiance of His face and the glorious majesty of His power.  It will be a breathtaking wonder and splendor unimaginable to all who believe!  Thank You that "whatever we may have to go through now is less than nothing compared with the magnificent future" You have planned for us.

What a joy it is to know that the government will be on Christ's shoulders, and that there will be no end to the increase of His government and peace...that His Kingdom will be established with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore.  Your Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom...a kingdom that cannot be shaken.  You will never be voted out; no coup will ever dethrone You.  For all eternity You are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  To You be the glory and the dominion forever and ever!

SEED WORD:

I ponder what it will be like for seven years with Jesus at the grand wedding supper.  I imagine Abraham being there and us getting to witness a greater laugh than he did when God told him of the birth to come from his barren wife.  I imagine King David worshipping and dancing before his son and rejoicing that when at age 16 when he slung that rock into Goliath's head he foreshadowed the crushing of Satan's head, the evil seed that Jesus' blood destroyed.  Think of the ways you might interact with all the souls now and that has been that you will see in heaven and what it is that they mean to you..  I can see myself jumping up and dancing with King David and oh what joy Jesus will have to be with us all.  Why, I'll bet you King David's crown is so big, and he is little man, will  be taken off and sat at the feet of his, great, great, great whatever grandson, the King of  Kings and the Lion of Judah!
