It Will Come True

This is an excerpt from my study bible...I didn't write it! :)

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation 21:1

We sense it at rare moments. The first real day of spring, when the air is heavy with the scent of blooms and new life sprouts everywhere. Or even in winter, when an unexpected snowstorm clothes a gray, dingy city in pure white. Or when we watch a baby animal at play in the zoo. Or remember the first sudden twinge of romantic love.

This world may be full of pollution, war, crime, and hate. But inside us, all of us, linger remnants that remind us of what the world could be like-of what we could be like. The Old Testament prophets dreamed of "that day" when creation would be made new. And those sensations, following a dismal monotone of predicted catastrophes, burst out of the last few chapters of Revelation. That perfect world is not merely a dream; it will come true.

I was talking to one of my friends who has gone through trial after trial after trial lately. And I was telling her what the Word said about the times we are living in. And I told her that it seems like Satan is having his way with God's people right now, and maybe he is. But every dog has his day, and soon Satan is going to pay for what he has done to us. He is not going to prevail, no matter how much it may look that way sometimes. Then, I went to my favorite study bible to look a little closer at those Scriptures in Revelation, and I saw the posting above. Satan DOES NOT WIN, God's PEOPLE DO!  I have more to say on this topic, but my husband is waiting on me to watch a movie with him. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sabbath tomorrow! Loves!
