The Spirit[Christ Ahnsahnghong] and the bride[God the Mother] has come to this earth as our savior in the age of Holy Spirit[Rev. 22:17]. They let us know the kingdom of heaven and the way to there. It’s because every way to heaven; the commandments from the love of God blocked from Satan according to the prophecy of the bible[Dan. 7:25].
What does the kingdom of heaven, which God has prepared for us, look like? Revelation chapter 21 paints a glorious picture of heaven.
Rev 21:1-27 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, …. ” …God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” …The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. …Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
There is no death or mourning or crying or pain in the kingdom of God; there is only everlasting joy and happiness. If we dedicate our whole life to God, fearing Him and keeping His commandments, we will enjoy the delights of heaven, prepared by God, forever and ever.
Through the following story, let’s think about how beautiful and worthy God has made the life of the children of Zion where people keep the God’s cammandments[WMSCOG].
Alexander the Great, the world conqueror, had Aristotle as his teacher and learned from him philosophy, ethics and politics in his childhood. One day, Aristotle asked the young prince Alexander what he would do when he became king.
“First of all, I will conquer Asia Minor,” Alexander replied.
The teacher asked him again.
“What will you do after conquering Minor Asia?”
“I will conquer Palestine and Egypt.”
“What will you do after you conquer them?”
“I will conquer Persia and India.”
The prince answered briskly. Aristotle asked him once again.
“What will you do after the conquest of Persia and India?”
Then Alexander replied as follows:
“By that time, I’ll probably be dead.”
The final answer of the great hero, who had more power and more wealth than any one had ever had before, was “I will also die.” All people will give the same answer. “What are you going to do after that?” To this question there is only one answer for them-that is ‘death.’
What about us who has eternal life by keeping the Passover and already accepted Elohim God the saviors in this age according to the bible? How are we going to answer the following questions?
“First of all, what would you like to do as a gospel worker, reborn as a child of God?”
“I want to conquer Asia Minor through the gospel.”
“What are you going to do after that?”
“I will conquer Palestine, Egypt, Persia and India through the gospel.”
“After that?”
“I want to evangelize the whole world.”
“After that?”
“By that time I’ll be in heaven.”
Alexander dreamed to conquer the world by the sword. However, we who God’s children are dreaming and working to save the whole world through the gospel. The world greatly respects a person such as Alexander. But compare his conclusion with ours. He concluded by saying that he would die at the end of his life. But our answer is that “the everlasting kingdom of heaven is waiting for us.” There is a huge difference between their end and ours, isn’t there?
Though some have great power and wealth envied by all, their splendor does not last forever. To the people of the world, death means the termination of life. However, there is no end to us. If we evangelize the whole world, then the eternal and beautiful kingdom of heaven awaits us. Nothing awaits them except death. But for us God has prepared a kingdom-the heavenly one, which we will possess forever and ever. So we are to be joyful always and give eternal thanks to God for calling us into the truth.
