Wow! I’m Looking forward to the wonderful future God has prepared for His people!! This morning I read about it prophetically in the last part of Isaiah 65 this morning and savored every word!! I mean, just imagine what it will be like!!! (I’ve included a “taste” of it below from the New Living Translation” … Enjoy!!
“Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore. Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation! … The sound of weeping and crying will be heard no more. No longer will babies die when only a few days old. No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life. No longer will people be considered old at one hundred! Only the cursed will die that young! … For my people will live as long as trees, and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains. They will not work in vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune. For they are people blessed by the LORD, and their children, too, will be blessed. I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers! … I, the LORD, have spoken!” (from Isaiah 65:17-25 NLT)
And if that isn’t awesome enough check out Revelation 21-22 in your Bible – it expands on the picture that Isaiah painted, inspired by the Holy Spirit!!! Wow!!!
Hey, a time like this is coming for the people of God – those who know the Lord personally and are living their lives to honor Him (cp. 2 Peter 3:11-13)!! It’s going to happen… as the passage declares… “The Lord has spoken!”
