“Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world.” (Matthew 25:34, NKJV)
Rev Dale Lee
Jesus tells us that when He comes it will be “in His glory and all the holy angels with Him.” (Matthew 25:31) Then He will sit on the throne of His glory and all the nations will be gathered before Him. (Matthew 25:31-32) Jesus, in heaven presently sitting at the right hand of God (Hebrews 1:3), cannot come to where He already is so we know that this prophetic word will be fulfilled on earth. Jesus tells us that the nations will be judged as to worthiness to enter His kingdom on earth and that this kingdom was the purpose for there being nations and earth. So Christians should look for the hand of God in earth-history and rejoice to see the great works of our Father to bring His Son into royal glory and undiminished kingdom splendor. The evolutionist has no such knowledge for all is meaningless matter and purposeless existence for him. But Christians live with undying hope and confident expectation that all things will work together for the good and the good is supremely Jesus, His return in glory and His kingdom. Jean Edwards writes in the preface to Grant, a biography of General Ulysses S. Grant, civil war general and two time president of the United States, that when Edwards was ten, his father took him and several of his cousins to Shiloh battlefield (Hardin County, TN). They were from Mississippi and the boys spoke about how the Confederates could have won. Mr. Smith continues, “My father, who was not an educated man, listened attentively and then in his soft Mississippi drawl cautioned us about what we were saying. It was bad for us to have lost, he admitted, but it would have been worse if we had won. The United States would not exist if the South had prevailed, and we should thank our lucky stars General Grant was in command that terrible Sunday in 1862…Grant saved the United States and we should be glad he did .” While at West Point, Grant was nick named United States Grant, Sam Grant, Uncle Sam. Nobody knew then the decisive role he would play years later in preserving the United States. On May 14, 1948, the United States, at the United Nations, was the first nation in the world to recognize the miraculously newly formed nation of Israel. The most powerful nation in the world has been Israel’s best friend ever since, thus serving God’s purpose in her preservation against relentless satanic attack. Jesus is returning to Israel one day to be king over the earth. Pray for Israel and what a mighty God we serve.
