Ep 184 – The Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Days

Outside the Holy City

Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, WAS THERE the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 AND THERE shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him:
4 And they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads.
5 AND THERE shall be no night THERE; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

This is now the last chapter of the book of Revelation. When God made a new heaven and a new earth, there was no more sea, and the new Jerusalem, the holy city, descended out of heaven, called the bride of the Lamb. In the holy city, God wiped away all tears from their eyes, and there was no more death, sorrow, or crying. All former things passed away, replaced by an eternal peace found only in His presence.

Let us emphasize the words mentioned, “was there,” “there,” and “no night there.” These testify that the fulfillment of the Lord’s promise is inside the holy city. And there are five things first mentioned from within the holy city: first, the river of pure water of life flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Second, the tree of life bearing twelve fruits, yielding fruit every month, whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. Third, the absence of any curse within the city. Fourth, His name upon the foreheads of His servants. And fifth, the glorious presence of the Lord, who is the everlasting light.

For what purpose is the river and the tree of life, if it is said that all men shall die no more?

This is also the reason why in my previous explanation concerning those outside the city, they continue to live, multiply, have children, and the cycle of life continues under His care. As our Lord Jesus declared in John 4, the water that He gives shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Though that passage refers to the Holy Spirit, this river is a symbol that life flows from the presence of God, and there is no life apart from His presence in every heart. They need this living water.

To His servants, as we read, the temple of God is in them, and they bear His seal upon their foreheads. This seal is not only a mark of identity, but a pledge of protection and promise that they belong to His holy household, within the holy city.

Second, the tree of life. It bears twelve fruits, yielding fruit every month, and its leaves are for the healing of the nations. The tree of life was present in Eden and is mentioned again in the new heaven and new earth, within the holy city. It bears diverse fruits each month. Here we see that if there is no sun or moon outside, how shall men know that a month has passed? Moreover, its leaves are for the healing of the nations, implying that outside the city there is sickness that needs healing.

Third, it is said that there shall be no more curse. The curse is the fruit of sin that separated man from God, but within the holy city there is no curse. This implies that outside there is curse upon those who do not follow the will of God. (Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.) This verse gives a clear picture of the state of those who rejected God’s grace, but for those who enter and worship Him in the holy city, when they go forth, they shall behold the fruit of rebellion—eternal suffering.

Fourth, all the servants of the Lord bear His seal and shall see Him upon His throne. Those outside do not yet have this seal, but if they depart this life without rejecting the everlasting gospel of Christ, they shall receive the seal and be numbered among His servants.

Fifth, there shall be no night there, and all the servants of God shall reign forever and ever. This was once my question: if all who enter the new heaven and new earth shall reign, whom shall they reign over? If man has direct communion with the Lord, is there need to reign over him? Thus my view was strengthened that there are people outside the city to be ruled, guided, and taught in the goodness and grace of God. This agrees with the statement that they shall reign forever and ever, signifying a continuing mission of service and stewardship under the Lord’s dominion. This is not a reign of oppression, but holy governance founded upon love and justice, wherein the servants of God mediate His light to those outside. In this way, the glory of God flows throughout creation, and every soul is gradually brought to fullness of knowledge of Him, proving that the plan of salvation does not end in the new heaven and new earth, but continues as an eternal expansion of His love.

Let us continue our study of this last chapter tomorrow by the grace of the Lord. For now, my prayer is that we remain faithful in the life entrusted to us by God today. This is training for the stewardship we shall exercise with Him. May every action and decision we make reflect His holy will, preparing us for the greater responsibility that awaits in the future. In every trial and triumph, let us learn to regard our life as a sacred trust, an opportunity to prove our faithfulness in the midst of a world seeking light. Let us remain watchful and loving, for in the small steps of obedience today, we are gradually shaping our character for eternal service unto Him.

Luke 16:10–12 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?

Shalom.

Ep 183 – The Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Days

The Holy City for those Written in the Book of Life of the Lamb

Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

In our past discussion we have explained the importance of the temple, the altar. This was the means of God to establish covenant between God and man, that the broken fellowship because of sin might be restored. But in entering into the new heaven and new earth, there is no more need of any physical structure, for the Lamb of God which taketh away sin shall dwell with us forever, being Himself the temple within us.

It is clearly stated that the holy city hath no need of the sun, moon, or stars to give light, for the glory of God is the light thereof. Yet without the holy city there is need of natural lights for the environment and for the sign of times, new moon, Sabbath and coming to the holy city. For in due season they shall bring their glory into the holy city, and when they are within, the light of the Lamb shall be their walk.

The gates of the holy city shall not be shut, for there is no night there. It is clear in the verses that the light of God is always spoken of within the holy city, and not upon all the land. I know this is not a common teaching, yet I desire to be true to that which I have learned from deep searching of the holy scripture. The understanding of the difference of light within and without the city openeth a broader perspective concerning the kingdom of God. This is not an attempt to change tradition, but an invitation to study more closely those details which are oft overlooked. In the end, all this is to magnify the greatness of the Lamb, who is the true center of our faith and hope in the time to come.

In the last verse of this chapter it is also clear that there are unclean beings which cannot enter into this holy city. This is the reason why there are angels guarding every gate of pearl, and only they whose names are written in the book of life of the Lamb may enter. As I have said, the book of life is different from the book of life of the Lamb.

All creatures born into this world from the pure lineage of Adam and Eve are given of God the spirit which cometh from Him, and they are written in the book of life, for they have received life. But the book of life of the Lamb is reserved only for those who believe and are sanctified in His name. For there is none righteous, no, not one, that hath lived in this world. Therefore he that hath sinned and hath believed in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not have his name blotted out of the book of life, and if he dies, his name is also written in the book of life of the Lamb, who shall inherit the holy city.

Thus in the time of the new heaven and new earth all creatures without the city have their names written in the book of life, but they that overcome and remain faithful to the Lamb shall enjoy being part of the holy city, for their names shall be recorded in the book of life of the Lamb. The fulfillment of the everlasting promise, wherein every tear shall be wiped away and death shall be no more, is contained only for those who belong to the holy city.

In this teaching, many things are answered that are literal matters not plainly resolved in traditional explanation. As I always say, the understanding of the mysteries of scripture requires the opening of heart and mind to see the deeper meaning behind the symbols. This is not a rejection of tradition, but an enlargement of vision that we may draw nearer to the truth which the Almighty desires to reveal. In every verse there is hidden light, waiting to be discovered by those who truly seek righteousness and peace amidst the challenges of the mysterious revelations of the holy book.

This journey in our meditation upon the book of Revelation is not only an intellectual study, but a spiritual renewal. As the veil of hidden mysteries is gradually lifted, it becomes clearer that every word is purposed to guide us unto the true essence of faith. In embracing this truth, we are not only reading the scripture, but living the message of love and hope that shall bring us unto the perfect fulfillment of our being in the presence of our Father in heaven.

In the next chapter of our discussion we shall finish the book of Revelation, a blessing of the Lord that we have been able to study every verse of this book, not because we are wise or learned, but by the grace of God who hath guided our understanding of this book. The end of this journey is not a conclusion, but a new beginning of deeper fellowship with Him.

Therefore I pray that the fire of your faith may remain burning, whatever state we are in, even in this world wherein we dwell, carrying the lessons learned in every page of this holy scripture. May it serve as a lamp unto our steps daily, that in every trial and triumph ye may feel the embrace and guidance of the Lord. Let us not allow the zeal of our service to fade, but let us make every promise of God our inspiration in serving Him. For true wisdom is not measured by how much we have read or heard, but by the depth of our living out these teachings toward our fellowmen. May we be living witnesses of His love, showing forth goodness and justice in a world that needs light.

Colossians 3:16–17 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.

Shalom.

Lifeline Part 2 (Luke 18)

Ep 182 – The Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Days

The Foursquare City Standing Upon the Rock

Revelation 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

The holy city is foursquare, meaning its length, breadth, and height are equal. Its measurement is twelve thousand furlongs, and the wall is one hundred forty-four cubits. There are twelve pillars with the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, and twelve gates, each gate always open and never shut, with the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel written above.

We notice how detailed God is in these things, and the prominence of the number twelve in this holy city. In Scripture, every number has deep meaning, and twelve symbolizes God’s perfect government and order among His people. It shows the unity of the Old Testament and the New Testament, where the promises to Israel and the salvation through the apostles meet in one eternal kingdom.

If the city is foursquare with walls on every side, it should be dark inside, for it is not lit by sun, moon, or stars. Yet the glory of God is its light. There is no day or night, for no natural light is needed; the presence of God gives eternal brightness in every corner. This does not mean there are no sun, moon, or stars at all—for outside the holy city these natural lights remain, to give light for planting, building homes, and marking seasons for worship. This is mentioned in Isaiah 66:

22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass, that from one NEW MOON to another, and from one SABBATH to another, shall all FLESH come to worship before Me, saith the LORD.
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against Me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

People will go in and out of Jerusalem—those who dwell outside, planting vineyards and reaping their harvest. All nations shall gather in the holy city, their hearts filled with joy before the Lord, for righteousness dwells among them forever. Those who reign over them are the saints, the church of Christ, reigning with Him eternally.

In verses 18–21 John described the various stones forming the foundation of the new Jerusalem, symbolizing the glory and purity of God’s people. Each stone has its own color and brilliance, reflecting aspects of the Lord’s character in the lives of believers. These stones fulfill the word of our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 16:18, that He would build His church upon the rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

This foundation is not only a symbol of stability, but proof of God’s unshakable love binding all believers together. The description of pearl gates and golden streets shows that the city’s glory is not from material wealth, but from His presence, the true light and life of all. Whatever riches the world pursues, in His holy city they are but things trodden underfoot. The true treasure is found in union with our Lord Jesus Christ, not in material possessions.

Of all the stones mentioned in the new Jerusalem, three are not found in the high priest’s breastplate. All the breastplate stones are present except jacinth, ligure, and agate, which are replaced by chalcedony, chrysolite, and chrysoprasus. Chalcedony symbolizes purity and transformation of our being; chrysolite declares the brightness of God’s righteousness shining in our hearts; chrysoprasus signifies eternal life and unfading hope. These details are not mere decoration, but reminders that our spiritual journey has reached fulfillment in His promise.

The pearl at each gate symbolizes the triumph of faith through hardship, like a grain of sand enduring trial until it becomes a precious gem. “Enter into the joy of the Lord!”

The brilliance of the new Jerusalem cannot be compared with any wealth of this world, for every corner shines with the glory of God’s presence—the true home of the victorious. It stands upon the Rock here on earth, not in heaven.

Therefore I pray that we remain steadfast in our faith, that whatever trials come, we remain faithful to Him. The true richness and comfort of a Christian is not in this world, but in the promised eternal life with the Father. Our faith will surely be tested, and every trial we face is a step toward deeper knowledge of Him. In every tear shed, there is hidden healing and hope strengthening our spiritual foundation. Let us not lose heart, for every trial is not the end, but a process of refining our faith, making us worthy of the glorious kingdom prepared for those who wait faithfully and serve Him wholeheartedly. Continue steadfast in Him until the end.

1 Peter 1:6–7 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.

Shalom.

Ep 181 – The Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Days

The New Jerusalem the Dwelling Place of God on Earth (Second Part)

Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

We continue the discussion left pending, where we previously focused on the wall and why it is needed. We also connected our study to Isaiah 65:17–25, which speaks of the condition of the new heavens and the new earth.

Let us examine why the holy city needs a wall, why there are guards at every gate, leaves of the tree of life for healing, and a river proceeding from the throne of God giving life to creatures. All these things I will mention are my personal view, not based on traditional explanation.

From the beginning, I was taught that in the new heavens and new earth there will be no sorrow, grief, or tears, no death and no sin, all will be joyful and in order. And this is indeed what Revelation 21:4 says: “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” But to whom is this promise directed? It is written for the New Jerusalem, the holy city with walls and guards, the bride of Christ. This means the promise is for those who dwell therein, its citizens.

In the same chapter verses 26–27 say: “And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

Clearly it says nothing defiled can enter, which implies there are defiled things outside the city. As I examined carefully the events from Armageddon to the new heavens and new earth, this is what I realized.

At the return of our Lord Jesus Christ He ended the reign of the antichrist and the false prophet and cast them into Gehenna, but Satan was bound in the bottomless pit for a thousand years. Not all people on earth joined that great battle; some remained in their nations. These are the ones who entered the Millennium, still experiencing death and sin during that time.

After the thousand years Satan was loosed again to deceive the nations, and they rebelled, but fire came down from heaven and devoured them. Again, not all joined the rebellion; some remained in their lands. Those cast into the lake of fire were only those who joined the rebellion, together with Satan.

Then came the resurrection of the dead, delivered up by Death and Hades, and the Great White Throne Judgment took place. This judgment was for the dead only, resurrected from Adam to the Millennium, as explained before. But those who survived the Millennium were not judged here; they entered the new earth. Thus there are people who entered the new earth who can still die and sin, corresponding to the verses in Revelation and Isaiah.

This also emphasizes that the promise of God that the overcomers in Christ shall reign continues in the new earth.

Revelation 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

If all the redeemed reign forever, whom do they reign over if everyone is given authority to reign in the new earth? Here we see the depth of God’s plan: the overcomers serve as rulers or guardians over those who entered the new earth who still have the capacity to err. While they reign over the nations or societies, only they may enter the holy city, for their names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. The Lamb’s book of life is not the same as the book of life containing all names of men, but a record of those who overcame in faith. Thus if someone dies in the new earth believing the everlasting gospel, his name will be written in the Lamb’s book of life, granting him the right to dwell in the holy city. But to reject the everlasting gospel is to turn away from God’s grace, and such will be cast into the lake of fire, where they are seen suffering, their worm not dying and the fire not quenched, as Isaiah 66 describes.

That is why there is a wall, angels guarding every gate, leaves for healing, and the river of life flowing from the throne of God. In the new earth the human race continues, as Isaiah says:

Isaiah 65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. (This is not like the promise of our Lord Jesus Christ that in His Father’s house are many mansions, but the literal fulfillment of a new beginning where the righteous enjoy the fruit of their labour.)

22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. (The days of a tree are long, reaching a thousand years or more, yet still limited and die, unlike the eternity offered in God’s presence.)

23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. (This also differs from what our Lord Jesus Christ said, that in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Yet here their race continues, with children with them. Other translations render it “I will bless their descendants, and those who come after them.”)

Thus it is clear from these verses that there is a race entering the new earth, while the New Jerusalem is reserved for those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. The book of life and the Lamb’s book of life are two distinct books.

Therefore I pray that we make sure our names are not blotted out of the book of life and are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Our faith and steadfastness in Him are the guarantee that we partake of this promise. In the midst of trials in this world, let us remain firm, waiting for the glorious return of our Lord, and continue to walk in the light of His truth. May our hearts always be set on the eternal reward He has prepared for all faithful servants who hold this hope to the end.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)

Shalom.

Ep 180 – The Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Last Days

The New Jerusalem, Tabernacle of God on Earth (Part One)

Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

One of the seven angels who poured out the seven last plagues spoke with John to show him “the Lamb’s wife.” By the Spirit, the angel carried John to a great and high mountain and showed him the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.

This event took place after the Millennium, and after the final rebellion under Satan who was loosed from the bottomless pit, and they were devoured by fire from heaven. Then there was a new heaven and a new earth. This city, the New Jerusalem, also called the Bride of Christ, was described as shining with the glory of God. Its brilliance was like a most precious stone, even like jasper, clear as crystal. It had twelve great and high walls with twelve gates, and at each gate stood an angel. The names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates, while the twelve foundations of the wall bore the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

There are many more descriptions in this chapter, but let us first understand what has already been mentioned. First of all, it is clear that the bride of Christ is the New Jerusalem. This confirms that the marriage takes place after the Millennium and after the Great White Throne Judgment. Many teachings claim that the marriage occurs in heaven during the tribulation on earth under the Antichrist, but this is difficult to accept, for the marriage of the bride and Christ will only happen when the Bride of Christ is complete—none left behind, all included from the time of Adam until the end of the Millennium, all whose names are written in the book of life.

It is mentioned that the city has a great and high wall. Why would such a glorious city need a great and high wall?

We know that walls are built for protection and security. Those who are true citizens may freely enter and exit, not strangers. It also symbolizes the glory, greatness, and order of this great city. In verse 16 it is said that the city is foursquare—the length, breadth, and height are equal—and all parts of the holy city are encompassed by the wall descending from heaven.

So we may wonder why a wall is needed if death, sin, and rebellion are no more. There is nothing to protect against invaders. And why must angels guard each gate of this city? My explanation here is unorthodox, contrary to the common understanding, but allow me to share my insight.

It is true that our Lord said in the new heaven and new earth there is no more death, yet let us examine carefully what is declared:

Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

In that passage, for whom is it said there shall be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain? Clearly it is exclusively for those in the dwelling place of God, the New Jerusalem. The fulfillment of the new heaven and new earth is also spoken of in Isaiah:

Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

Based on that passage, it refers to the fulfillment in the new heaven and new earth and the New Jerusalem which He created. But let me pause here, for I wish to explain this more thoroughly in our next study.

For now my prayer is that our knowledge of His plan for the whole world may be broadened. If man will draw near to Him to understand these things, we will not be ashamed before Him. Yet there are those whose minds are closed and who do not embrace change. There is nothing wrong with change if it is in truth, for human knowledge continues to grow and be refined. The Word of God is sure and unchanging, though interpretations may differ. And if interpretations differ concerning eschatology, may there be no judgment among us, but rather open minds to search out His will more deeply. It is delightful to search His Word, truly like a treasure when you have found it. To God be all the glory for whatever we have learned of Him.

Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Shalom.
