Earthquakes, tsunamis, unusual snowfall, tornado’s, floods, asteroids flying around and it's just the third month of the new year; nature seems to try to tell us something.
It feels that the King of Kings is coming to take home His church and it trembles in reference of her Creator.
"God came from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran.
Selah
His glory covered the heavens
and his praise filled the earth.
4 His splendor was like the sunrise;
rays flashed from his hand,
where his power was hidden.
5 Plague went before him;
pestilence followed his steps.
6 He stood, and shook the earth;
He looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled
and the age-old hills collapsed.
His ways are eternal." (Habakuk 3:2-6)
Yep, nature cannot handle the steps of the Holy One.
However it was once used to feel the steps of Almighty God when He used to go for a stroll with Adam and Eve in Paradise thousands of years ago.
But sin has caused it to be estranged from the presence of it's Creator just like people are.
But I have good news, it's all going to change for the better for Christ is coming back to restore everything to what God intended it to be.
The Earth is going to be renewed to be able to bear the steps of God as He walks with His Bride in His Holy city.
Room service
Christ has promised to prepare places in heaven for all who love Him with all their heart and others as they love themselves.
"In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." (John 14:2-3)
He wants us to be with Him and to see Him in all of His glory.
"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."( John 17:24)
Jesus is coming back to lead His loved ones to the rooms in heaven He has prepared for them, before the great tribulation starts on earth.
Then after the 7 years of tribulation He comes back with His bride, the church, to rule the earth for a thousand years.
After the thousand years God will judge everyone who ever roamed the earth and some will receive eternal life but others will be eternally in hell.
"And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.
Another book was opened, which is the book of life.
The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.
The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done.
Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.
If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:12-15)
It is done
Then the Holy trinity will reside on the new earth and there will be a new heaven .
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them.
They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End."
( Revelation 21:1-6)
Christ bought our ticket to this wonderful place when He died in our place at the cross.
He said;" It is finished" as He gave His life to save us.
And He will say: " It is done." as He finally completes everything and creates a new earth and heaven where He will dwell with us forever."
Blessings and love in Christ,
