Meditation of the week: Psalm 91:1-16

Text: Revelation 11:18-19

Title: When will the world come that we have never experienced?

       People living in the present world experience the light of pure joy through life, as if they discover a rare diamond, it is seldom experienced, and it is a moment to pass by immediately.

          As spring comes, we hear the first singing sound of birds; we walk with arms crossing with our loved ones; watch the perfect beautiful sunset ; or watch the children shout for joy in the morning of the holidays; but all things quickly pass by and disappear into oblivion. so we experience a lot of things  throwing  away.

         In particular, everyone feels that life in the end times is not easy as  nowadays. In most nations, we hear politicians shout out loudly to the public saying that they will create “a country that has never been experienced” in the season of  election. However, unfortunately, history proves that there have been  no politicians who have kept their promises showing their nations that have never been experienced over the course of six thousand years of human history.

         As a recent examples, seven decades ago, a North Korean ruler named Kim Il-sung promised people to feed them with rice and beef  meat soup, but North Koreans are living in the miserable situation even not to eat corn porridge never expecting to eat beef soup at all. As another example, the president of South Korea promised people to bring forth the country  that has never been experienced when he took the office four years ago. As he promised, he made a country that  has  never been experienced, but giving people a most miserable country that has never been experienced.

         Most of them  who have reigned in the world have damaged the land created by God until now and have led the people living on the earth to the path of destruction. God is speaking to the present world:

” And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.. “(Rev 11:18-19))

         For the six thousand years of human history, God has been crying out that God’s judgment will come through prophets, saints, and those who fear the name of the Lord, and that the kingdom of God will come upon the earth as it has been in heaven. However, the people in the world have not believed in the kingdom of God and had lived with all kinds of schemes to enjoy a happy life on their own, but the present world cannot find the word happiness, but live in sins and curses and destroy the land given by God.  Therefore, the only thing left is to wait for God’s judgment.

        All of the nations living in this world rarely have time to relax, and it has become difficult to find joy. Why has  it happened? It’s time for us to think about the reason deeply. The world we are living could be in a situation  like a woman who is laboring for the birth of baby to give life. Now the time has come when we are groaning in suffering to wait for the birth of  the marvelous  millennium of Jesus Christ. The Bible testifies of this:

” For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.…. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” (Romans 8:19, 22).

            God said through the prophet Isaiah that God  hear the crying of the suffering people and all the creatures, and first of all, He would bring the kingdom of heaven to the chosen Israelites in order to make them  happy  that they had never experienced before:

” Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

2Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins. 3The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

5And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it..’ I do.” (Isaiah 40:1-5)

         God had chosen  John the Baptist to deliver the message prophesied by the prophet Isaiah, and he cried out in the wilderness that the kingdom of heaven  would come to the land for the Israelites:

“Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is near” (Matthew 3:2).

       However, they did not accept the message to repent but killed him not believing in the kingdom that has never been experienced.   But Jesus, the King of the kingdom of heaven appeared in the glory of God was revealed in human form, said with his own mouth to them again:

“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. “” (Matthew 4:17)

    However, they did not even accept Him, the King of Heaven, either, and  executed him hanging on the cross. Since then,  the kingdom of heaven disappeared from this earth, and the kings ruled by Satan the Devil have ruled the nations of the world, promising “a country that has never been experienced” and deceived people saying  “people first“, but they made the world only for the Principalities, the Powers, the rulers of the darkness of the world and the evil spirit in high places making people as slaves  performing all kinds of deceit for their own benefit. Not only that but they have been destroying the land created by God beautifully. .

          However, as God expelled Lucifer the Devil from heaven and fulfilled His will in heaven as He promised to the Israelites, he will establish his kingdom  in the earth as well to fulfill his will in the earth by destroying the Principalities, the Powers, the rulers of the darkness of the world and the evil spirits in high places in the lake of fire with Satan the devil.

          Only when the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of Lords, establishes his kingdom on the earth, he will fulfill his will bringing forth the world that has never been experienced“. The capital of His kingdom shall be Jerusalem, not Washington D.C. anymore. Prophet Isaiah prophesied of  this:

” And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.” (Isaiah 2:2-5)

         The prophets prophesied of what a happy world would be at this time:

“And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. 27And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.…. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.…. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.….. Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.… Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.…. Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.…. And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore..” (Eze 34:26-27; 36:35, Jer 31:12, Isa 51:11, Eze 37:28)

          In addition, they prophesied that all creation, including humans shall be restored:

” The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

…. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes..” (Isaiah 11:6-9; 35:5-7)

         At this time, all the restored Jews and Gentiles that repented in the Great tribulation, and the saints of the Church of God, who are the bride of Christ, who have been translated and come down to the earth with Jesus Christ, will all become as one and enjoy the blessing of living in a happiest world that has never been experienced for thousand years in the millennial kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. What a joyful and thrilling hope in the heart would this be?

Amen! Hallelujah!
