The Daily Word of Righteousness

Pressing Forward Into Eternal Life, #9

The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man. (Psalms 115:16—NIV)

That the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. (Romans 8:21—NIV)

Our inheritance is on the earth. It is here, on this planet, that the nations live to whom we are to bring the knowledge of the Lord. It is here that the world of nature to which we are accustomed exists.

It is here on the earth that Jesus Christ will govern as King of all kings and Lord of all lords. He will be crowned King in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. The Deliverer shall come from Zion and turn away ungodliness from the people and land of Israel. Then the Apostles will sit on thrones governing the twelve tribes of Israel.

The sons of God will go throughout the earth, driving out all influences of Satan and lifting the curse. They will bring justice and the knowledge of the Lord to the saved nations until the whole earth is filled with God's Glory.

Such marvels await those who have chosen to deny themselves, to take up their cross and follow the Lord Jesus.

But lashes and the outer darkness are the destiny of the Lord's servants who neglected their salvation; who did not cease from their own works and press into rest in the center of God's will. There shall be the weeping of intense remorse and the gnashing of teeth in rage when those who thought Christ would never punish them for their carelessness are kept in the outer darkness, away from the light and glory of the Lamb and His saints.

A time of severe judgment is soon to come to the United States, if I am hearing correctly from the Lord. Moral evil is on the increase. The cackling of fools fills the situation comedies on the television. The political leaders seek their own advantage, it appears. The psychologists and other social leaders view Christianity as a carry over from the Dark Ages—a hindrance to the progress of mankind in the twenty-first century.

All of this shall be swept away with the broom of destruction. God will not tolerate for long the destruction of His creation.

It is time for you and me and our families to follow the teaching and example of the Apostle Paul, to set aside our own life in order that we might gain Christ. If we will do this, then, no matter what takes place in America in the coming days, we will be kept safe in the hands of Jesus. In fact, He will set a table before us in the presence of our enemies.

If we or our loved ones should be killed, there is no problem. When the Lord returns He will bring us with Him and we shall be changed and brought into His glorious Kingdom.

It is right now, this very minute, that we are determining by our actions what the future will hold for us and our loved ones.

Let us without delay press forward into eternal life. (from Pressing Forward Into Eternal Life)
