Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done. . .

"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"
For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen."

-Romans 11:33-36

All things having been planned, created, maintained, upheld, and sustained by the wisdom of the Father have been reconciled, restored, affirmed, fulfilled and satisfied in the weakness of the Son and are now being redeemed, accomplished, completed, consummated and concluded by the power of the Holy Spirit. "For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen." Every plan, every purpose, every scheme and every thought are being irrevocably and inevitably captivated for the ultimate purpose of Him from whom, by whom, through whom and to whom all things exist. 2 Corinthians 10:5 "We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ." The Kingdom of God has come; the Day is at hand. The darkness is passing away. All will soon be saturated in the fullness of light and truth; all will soon be revealed in eternal, physical reality; all will soon be right with the world and with our Maker.



Matthew 4:17 "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Romans 13:11-14 "Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires."

1 Corinthians 15:51-58 "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true:

"Death has been swallowed up in victory."
"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?"

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
