MEMORIZE: “And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Is. 35:10)
READ: 1 Cor. 15:49-55
“And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Isaiah 35:10). During the Messianic Age, there will be widespread fertility. War equipment will be converted into agricultural tools (Isa 2:4). The enmity between men and beast will come to an end. May you not miss this glorious era in Jesus’ Name. Another feature during this period is the cessation of sorrow and death for all the redeemed of the Lord who return with Jesus to rule for 1000 years.
According to 1 Corinthians 15:49-55, we shall put on a glorious, incorruptible body that cannot be sick or die. However, on arrival on earth, we will still meet some people who survived the seven hellish years of the Great Tribulation. Those earth men and women could still take ill during the Millennial Reign. Since their bodies have not been transformed to immortal bodies like ours, they will still experience death.
Revelation 22:2 talks of the tree of life whose leaves would be available for sick earth men and women to use and get well. All this time, the earth will comprise the redeemed - those who returned with Christ and earth men - those we will meet on earth. Some of these earth men and women will die during the period of earth’s longest and most peaceful era, but none may die before the age of 100 (Isaiah 65:20-22). However, for us the redeemed of the Lord, there will be no more weeping.
But when we get to Heaven, we will weep for joy. Also, during the Judgment Seat of Christ when believers are receiving their rewards, those with lesser rewards will weep for their inability to work for more rewards. Yes, they could have earned more! How have you been working for the Lord? Are you utilizing all opportunities on earth to load your Heavenly account?
Do you ensure your services are rewardable by Heaven? Are you living carefully to prevent suffering eternal losses? The choice is yours. Another lesson here is that there is a link between the type of body you wear and your likelihood of being affected by sickness or death. If you are always clothed in God’s glory, it can prevent age and physical objects from taking their normal course in your life. If you are living in sin, you are likely to take ill. It is wisdom to fear God and depart from evil.
ACTION POINT:Spiritual bodies are alien to sicknesses. If your body is sickness-prone, it is because it has not yet undergone the required spiritual transformation. |
