READ: ISAIAH 60:5-22
We are a peculiar people. God has given us a
glorious heritage. “The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good
inheritance.” (Psalm 16:6). Isaiah 55:5 tells us a little more about
our peculiarity as a people. “Surely you shall call a nation you do not
know, and nations who do not you shall run to you, because of the LORD your
God, and the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you.” When this
kingdom is established there may be people who will be assigned to take charge
of Egypt. Egypt will run to them, frightened. The Lord God of hosts will have glorified
the saints, and the people of the world will be forced to obey them. Isaiah
60:5 and 22 tell us more: “Then you shall see and become radiant, and
your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be
turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.” “A
little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation. I, the
LORD, will hasten it in its time.” God is saying that if we have a
share in this kingdom, those of us who regard ourselves as poor people now will
become mighty in those days. The authority God will give to each individual in
the kingdom will be such that will awe us. The Bible says the Kingdom has
glorious majesty. Look at Psalm 145:11-12: “They shall speak of the glory of
Your kingdom, and talk of Your power, to make known to the sons of men His
mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.” Majesty is
something beautiful. Glory is also beautiful. The combination of glory and
majesty is very big and beautiful. The coming Kingdom is of glorious majesty
and I will be part of it. One other thing that makes this Kingdom very
beautiful is recorded in Psalm 145:13: “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and
Your dominion endures throughout all generations.” The coming Kingdom
will be forever. Once you enter, you will be there forever. This is why the
Bible says that the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. They are
forever. This is one of the reasons why I look forward to the Kingdom. It will
be wonderful.
MEMORIZE: PSALM 145:13 –Your kingdom
is an everlasting kingdom and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
