MY FRIENDS, CATCH THE VISION, BECAUSE IT IS MARVELOUSLY BREATHTAKING!!!
My friends catch the vision, Look up, “Through many dangers, toils and snares we have already come; Tis Grace that brought us safe thus far and Grace will lead us home.” “And Soon our eyes were drawn to the east, for a small black cloud had appeared, about half as large as a man’s hand, which we all knew was the sign of the Son of man.
In solemn silence we all gazed on the cloud as it drew nearer, and became lighter, glorious, and still more glorious, till it was a great white cloud. The bottom appeared like fire; a rainbow was over the cloud, while around it were ten thousand angels, singing a most lovely song; and upon it sat the Son of man.
His hair was white and curly and lay on His shoulders, and upon His head were many crowns. His feet had the appearance of
fire; in His right hand was a sharp sickle, in His left a silver trumpet. His eyes were as a flame of fire, which searched His children through and through.” (E.G. White Testimonies For The Church volume 1, pp 60)
My friends continue to catch the vision, as we enter God’s pure and holy kingdom “the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.
And [we] saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.” Rev. 21:21-25 (ESV) continue to catch the vision because after “we’ve been in God’s kingdom, our new home ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun. We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’ve first begun, amazing grace how sweet the sound”
My friends, we must all take on a new attitude about what is happening and what will continue to happen and that attitude must be all about our relationship to what our God is doing for our Salvation as He prepares to come and take us to our permanent home.
Remember He has made a promise to us that states, let not our hearts “be troubled; [if we] believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:1-3 (NJKV) what a marvelous promise, “I will come again and receive you to Myself “ and the prophecy of Matt 24 tells us it will be sooner then we think.
But my friends we must “have a made up mind” as it stays focused “on things above, [and] not on things on this earth” Colossians
3:2 (NKJV) because He is only coming, for the faithful who have endured and prepared others so that they may also catch the vision, as we tell them “the tomb is empty” our Savior lives and He will come again to take us home, for now we are only pilgrims.
“For this world is not our home; we are looking forward to our city in heaven, which is yet to come.” Heb. 13:14 (NKJV) So if we are children of the most High. “Heir to God’s throne and joint heir with Jesus Christ” as the world continues as if there was no God, and no judgment and no eternal destination for the righteous and the unrighteous. We must spend every waking moment asking God “not my will, but thy will be done.”
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
