Heaven's Glory

HEAVEN’S GLORY

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.”

Nights were endured with their harrows that were induced by a condition known as PTSD. Days rocked with anxiety from the night’s mental ordeal. Past mentally damaging occurrences dominated a mind at “rest.” There was no peace. This poor thoughtless Christian, tired to the point of fearing sleep with its disturbing recall and mentally enhanced events of the past, cried out to God.; “tonight Lord, stop the hideous dreams and let me dream of Heaven. That night there were no “bad dreams.” Sometime in the wee hours of dawning, our loving, magnificent, glorious, beautiful excellent (on and on) Father in heaven, drew me away in a dream or a vision; I am not sure which. Heaven’s gates stood open as I approached from the dark haze all about. I saw no one but knew their presence. Slowly, afraid that somehow the scene might quiver and abate into disillusionment; it did not. Before me, leading from this gate, twisted and ascended slightly a pathway of good size. I heard no sound but felt the beautiful music of nature. I understood things I had never known. The path was as of glass and beneath it a stream danced over small rock. Fish swam in the water. Whether I walked on the surface of the stream or a clear membrane over it, I cannot say. On both sides, as though it were a garden, flowers of many colors and designs glowed beauty from within. Their color was not static but slowly faded in and out is a cascade of beauty. There was no ambient light. Everything was light within itself. Nothing reflected and there were no shadows. As I walked, I saw a place pure, clean and undefiled and virtuous not as is this earth, My venture into Grace Land was short and revelation limited. But, God answered my prayer that night and let me get a glimpse of my home place soon to be attained. All glory be to God!

1 Corinthians 15:41 “38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.”

2 Corinthians 3:10 |”For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.” There is no comparison of created beauty and celestial eternal beauty of God and his entourage. These things that are visible on earth and in the heavens are held by a golden threat attached to the hand of God.

2 Peter 3:7 “But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”

Revelation Chapter 21 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 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. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”

There is a glory unimaginable in the helm of Our heaven. The new heaven to come as God sees fit, will outshine this one by a hundred fold. That will be the eternal home of the Saints. 2 Peter 3:12 “Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” Know peace, know God. Amen. 02-10-2020 BLL
