How About the Children in the End Times?

Certainly, when you're going through a tough trial, your focus is very strong. You don't let distractions get in the way. And that's happening to people around the world now. This virus has gotten their attention. They're thinking a lot more about what their lives are all about, and hopefully about their spiritual life. A lot of people are searching for answers and have realized that the accumulation of goods is not ultimately satisfying.

And scripture tells us there will be a time when people will be throwing gold in the streets to try to buy their lives and be saved. But scripture says at that time it won't do them any good. I'd like to go to Ezekiel 7, verse 15. Notice what it tells us here.

Ezekiel 7, verse 15 says, The sword is outside, and the pestilence and famine within. This was a tough time for ancient Israel, and the Babylonians were invading their land. He goes on to say, whoever is in the field will die by the sword, and whoever is in the city, famine and pestilence, will devour him. And then in verse 19, it says, They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like refuse, like garbage.

Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. So remember, prophecy is dual. There was a wrath of the Lord at that time, and there's a coming time of the wrath of the Lord. It says, they will not satisfy their souls nor fill their stomachs, because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.

Iniquity means sin. And so there's going to be a time when people's sins are not going to shield them with money or anything else. We are seeing the world's economies being upended by this plague. Some nations might not recover their footing and drag the rest of the nations down. Unemployment, as experts are saying, is comparable now to that Great Depression. Only we don't know how long this one's going to last. But what if we are entering the end time scenario? It certainly could begin this way with an economic collapse. There will always be scoffers, doubters, that ridicule and dismiss these things.

But we know it's going to happen one day. Notice in 2 Peter chapter 3. A warning about that attitude of thinking, oh, God's never going to intervene. The good times are going to continue to roll. Nothing can stop these economies. We've got everything under control. Boy, were they ever wrong. Peter says, verse 1, Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle, in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminders, that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior.

So you see Peter here is equating the Old Testament scriptures with what the apostles had been writing. So they are incorporating the writings of the New Testament with those of the Old Testament. Verse 3, knowing this first that scoffers those that ridicule God's Word will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts.

We certainly have plenty of those around today. And saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they willingly forget that by the Word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. So God has intervened in the past. There are all kinds of indications of a previous flood on this earth.

Verse 7, but the heavens and the earth which are now preserved after that flood, by the same word are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. So here, the Apostle Peter describing that there's not going to be a flood of water that is going to encompass and cover the entire earth.

No, there's going to be a time when fire will envelop the entire earth. And we know that that's going to happen after that period of the first resurrection and the great white throne judgment. And then after all the wicked are cast into that lake of fire, the earth will then be purified. And that's what he is describing. He goes on to say, But beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is at a thousand years and a thousand years is one day. I'm going to cover that in these coming Bible studies.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness, but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God is still waiting to see if mankind will repent of their evil deeds before he intervenes.

And so we see brethren that there are going to be scoffers, but hopefully not in the church, because we've been trained that prophecy is going to be fulfilled.

God has perfect timing, as I have mentioned. He carries things out to the exact second.

Now many in the church have children or grandchildren, and they are wondering what all of this is about. Their children are puzzled. Their grandchildren don't know what's going on.

What if they are entering into the end time scenario, this upcoming generation that have had it so easy, cuddled, spoiled by all of the technology of this society?

Well, there is good news for the children and the youths along the way.

We just have a faint outline in the Bible.

This is the best that we currently know. And remember, God has the last word.

He will reveal more.

And I was thinking, just like these models of the coronavirus that were wildly pessimistic and thinking everything was going to be a lot worse, well, we also have prophecy models.

And they have to be adjusted to the data that is revealed. So there's a lot more that God will reveal, and we will adjust our understanding as God reveals more of what's coming. He is in charge, not us.

All of this is very important to know.

Whether this is it, or if not, this understanding is for the future. But what about children growing up in the church? What about young people and young adults and older adults? Because this all affects every one of us. So first, there are three prophecies that specifically address the generation that will go through that end time period.

So what's going to happen? Again, we have a faint outline because God reveals things as things get closer and closer. But we have one that helps us and guides us along the way. The first is in Luke chapter 21 and verse 24. Luke chapter 21 and verse 34.

In verse 34, Christ is talking about the end times. And he says in verse 34, talking to the brethren, the members of the church, he says, but take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come on you unexpectedly. People thought this was not going to happen. They were going about doing their own things, following their own lusts until it was too late. Goes on to say, for it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. It's going to surprise people. Nobody is going to predict that this would happen. Whenever that snare, just like a bird, caught, he's eating happily and he triggers that little piece of wood and all of a sudden that branch that's bent over, it springs and it catches him on the foot. He goes on, and this is the verse that I want to focus on. Verse 36, watch therefore and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man. The key words here are, first you watch. Keep your eyes open because the person that's carousing, they have their eyes on other things. They're going to be caught, unguarded.

Be vigilant in your spiritual life and be watching for world events, just like that fig tree says that when those leaves start coming out, you know that summer is near. So there are events that we should be watching as well. And then the words, worthy of escape. The term for escape here in the Greek, according to the word study dictionary, is to bring safely through danger. To bring safely through danger. So it can be done. It is possible. You don't have to go through it. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to avoid the plagues and the punishment that will come once God begins to act powerfully.

Paul hoped he would be spared. He wanted to be standing up when Jesus Christ returned. He didn't want to die before that. Notice in 1 Thessalonians.

1 Thessalonians chapter 4.

In verse 14, it says, for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus, those who die in the faith. For this we say to you, by the word of the Lord, that we, he's including himself, who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will by no means perceive those who are asleep. So he was hoping to be alive when Jesus Christ returned. He wanted to be spared. There's nothing wrong with that.

Notice verse 16. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first, those that are in their tombs. Then we, again Paul, thinking that he would survive, that he was worthy to escape the things that were coming, and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord, therefore comfort one another with these words. So they are comforting. And God does spare his people before punishment comes. He separates them. He protects them because they are his. And so that's the first scripture in Luke 21 that we wanted to cover. The second one is in Revelation chapter 3. Revelation chapter 3 in verse 7.

Here he's writing to the Philadelphia church.

And he says in verse 7, And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens, and no one shuts, and shuts, and no one opens. And by the way, the key of David means the authority to carry out God's will, because David was the one who had been in charge, and he had a steward that was in charge of the keys, but it was David, the one who was ultimately in charge. So here he's talking about authority that he gives in his church to carry out his will.

In verse 8, he says, I know your works, see I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it, and so it has been. Now, when you start thinking about it, it has been going on for a very long time. At first it started just like that mustard seed, but the message that Mr. Armstrong carried out and others has been going out, and with Mr. Armstrong, the doors of radio opened up, and then television, and he never even got to see the internet age, but we have come to see it. Those are tremendous open doors to get the gospel out to all the world. Imagine nowadays, we have people that are on YouTube watching a lot of the TV programs. They're reading our literature all the way from China, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, in the US, Canada, and all of Latin America. People have access to God's truths like never before.

There is this open door, and even though Satan wants to shut it, and a lot of Satan's henchmen and followers want to shut this work, they are not going to, because God is more powerful than any of them.

He says, for you have a little strength, have kept my word, and have not denied my name.

So here, it is talking about having, literally it means having persevered in the word.

You have persevered on. You have continued with my precious truths.

You have not let them go by the wayside. And here we are, small flock, but doing a tremendous work lately on the internet as far as religious organizations go. We're among the top 15 in the world as far as transmitting the message. Although we're tiny in comparison to many of the other ones, we have a very powerful word that has been amplified through technology, and God has given us the means to do so. We don't charge for that message or for the literature that is sent out. He goes on to say, in verse 9, indeed, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan. Again, this is referring back to those who want to shut the door. Satan has his synagogue, has his followers. Many of them are deceived, thinking they're doing God a favor. But these who say they are Jews, in other words, they're part of true Christianity and are not, but lie. Indeed, I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. I did back then with their false teachings, with these workers of iniquity and lawlessness and lawbreaking. They've violated the fourth commandment in God's Ten Holy Commandments. They have broken. That's not something that comes from God, but from Satan. Continuing on, it says, verse 10, because you have kept my command to persevere. Again, importance here to persevere, to continue forward, not slacken, not be weary of well-doing, back the church and the work. I also will keep you from the hour of trial, which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth. There's a promise. If we are faithful, if we're doing our part, it says again here that I will also keep you from the hour of trial, which is a certain short period, just a few years, that this trial is going to take place. But he says that I will keep you from it, and it's going to test those who dwell on the earth. So this is a worldwide testing going on, and that hasn't occurred yet. But again, there's a promise that you can escape, that you can be deemed worthy, and that you will be kept from that hour of trial. The third scripture is in Revelation chapter 12.

Revelation chapter 12. Now, of course, when you're kept from that hour of trial, when you are protected, it means your children too. They're going to be protected miraculously, just like God did in ancient Israel. We are celebrating these seven days of unleavened bread, and we are remembering how God protected them through those seven days of unleavened bread.

And at the end, on that last day of unleavened bread, as the calendar there in the Bible gives an indication that they crossed the Red Sea on that last day of unleavened bread.

Tremendous miracle! And you know what? They weren't eating leavened products, because God was taking His people and protecting them from the powerful Egyptians. Everything that Satan could throw at them, God was shielding them, and it was all bouncing off God's invisible shield.

So it goes on to say, here in Revelation chapter 12, in verse 13 through 17, when he talks about being guarded and protected during that testing period, here in Revelation 12, it is amplified. More details are given of what that hour of testing is all about. It says in verse 13, now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, because he rebelled at that time, one last time, he tried to overthrow God, and he was thrown back on this earth.

He says, and so he was very angry. He says, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. Here it's talking about the church. Jesus followers his disciples and those that followed after him. He says, but the woman, this is the collective body of Jesus Christ at the end time, was given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness to her place. Now this is an indication that people are going to be very far away, because if they were close to that place of safety, why? They could walk, or they could just take some transportation. But here it's talking about that God is going to produce a miracle that it doesn't matter where you are, you are going to be taken to that place of safety. And so the woman is given two wings of a great eagle. Now notice it's not saying that you're going to be born in eagle's wings, because that's an illustration of being protected by God. But no, here the woman is given two wings as if it was a great eagle that had two wings, and she is going to fly. Now, 130 years ago, there was no such thing as flying by human beings. 1903, the Wright brothers were the first ones to successfully fly a motorized plane. So it's just been a little over 100 years that we can fly to different places. And it says here that the woman is going to fly into the wilderness. We don't know exactly how. Will God do it miraculously? As He transported, for instance, Philip from one place where he baptized the eunuch, and all of a sudden he found himself in another city. He was transported in the air in that way. Or is God going to tell the church to provide the transportation? But regardless, God is going to make this happen. And He says, to her place—now, here again, it's talking about one place. If it's close by, you don't have to fly there. But here, the indication is it's one place on earth. God does not identify it here, but He certainly talks about a place of safety in Scripture. It says where she is nourished. So here again, it's not that she's going to provide the nourishment. No, God is going to provide the nourishment. Just like He did with Israelites for 40 years. He provided every day manna. He provided water and provided miraculously, sustaining them. They had great health.

Their clothes did not wear out. And so when it says here that she is going to be provided and nourished, and it tells us for how long? What the Bible calls an hour. A very short time in man's history. It's not talking about a century. It's talking about a few years for a time and times and half a time from the presence of the serpent. So you see, the reason is because Satan is so angry, he would come and he would destroy the church wherever it is found. And brethren, my daughter Natalia sent me an email with some news that now, because of this coronavirus affliction, that people that get it, and they are in that sense vaccinated, they're protected once they have the antibodies for it, that they're trying to find a system where you can be identified that you're free from that. And now they have developed a system which is called a micro needles that they can put on your skin. And it's a mark where with even a cell phone, they can see that you are free from that virus. And that now they're developing that type of technology, which sounds very similar to that mark of the beast. Well, people are not going to be walking around with a bunch of tattoos, but they're going to have them invisibly. It can be detected by a special ultraviolet light. So anyways, it says that the serpent is going after the church. He knows the church has God's truths. It's a very small church. It's that little flock, that faithful remnant of God's people. But he wants to stamp out all commandment keepers. He wants to have the commandments of God diluted and changed, as we see in this world's churches and religions. So he goes on to say in verse 15, so the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. So these people are going to arrive at a place, but they're going to have to get in the place. So because Satan can't hinder them arriving, he sends people, just like a flood of people, to try to destroy them, just like Satan sent Pharaoh and his army before they could cross the Red Sea, the Israelites. It's similar in this case, and that's something I have learned with this Bible study that I'm going to be giving you about Daniel 9. And this gives me a little more insight into what this flood is, because in Daniel 9, it also talks about a flood of people. It's not talking about a physical flood of water. It says in Daniel chapter 9 verse 26, And the people of the prince, who is to come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. So Satan is using the people of the prince, talking about the Antichrist, and it says, the end of it, the destruction of Jerusalem and what will be there, shall be with the flood until the end of the war desolations are determined.

So this is what the believer's commentary says about that. It says, the city was leveled as if by a flood. Not one stone of the temple, for instance, was left on another.

General Titus of the Roman army forbade his soldiers to put Herod's temple to the torch, but in order to get the gold, they disobeyed, thus melting down the gold to retrieve the melted gold successfully from between the stones, they had to pry loose the great stones, thus fulfilling Christ's words in Matthew 24, 1-2, as well as Daniel's prophecy.

So the flood has to do with this army. When you see an army, it looks like waters going across an area. They're all dressed and they're all marching in the same way as the river with the current and the waves. And so it goes on to say, God intervenes, just like he did in ancient Israel, and opened up the Red Sea when Pharaoh's army tried to kill all of Israel. It says in verse 16, but the earth helped a woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. In other words, the dragon had sent it with the orders. Verse 17, and the dragon was enraged with a woman, just like Pharaoh, when he lost his entire army. And then he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, which does indicate that part of those who have God's truths are not going to be counted worthy, and they're going to have to go through that great tribulation period. So it's very important to maintain our spiritual closeness with God, build up our spiritual strength with him.

What about the children of members during this time?

It's not going to be a bad situation at all for them. I have very good news about this.

It's going to be a blessing, although it's going to be a scary time.

If they make it up to a group of members that are worthy to escape, they're part of that family, and God works through families. He will give opportunities to mates, children, of faithful members to go along with their parents.

Once they reach the place of safety, they will be saved for three and a half years, and then Christ comes. They will be provided with food and water, all the basic necessities, and probably more. It's not going to be a place where people are going to go hungry or just skimp on things. If this is when Christ confirms the covenant with his people in a special way, just like he did with Israelites in the wilderness, with the cloud by day, the pillar of fire by night, his presence, it will be a wonderful time to be in this place of safety. Just like the Apostle Paul was instructed by Christ during three years where he went in the wilderness.

And it doesn't mean that physically Christ came to Paul, but Christ instructed Paul.

Paul heard Christ's words and teachings. Notice in Galatians chapter 1, verse 11, where he talks about that training that took place.

Galatians chapter 1, verse 11, he's talking about his credentials for being an apostle.

He says, but I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. I didn't get it from even the apostles. He got it from a superior authority.

He says, for I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. So Christ dedicated his time to instruct the Apostle Paul around three years.

He says in verse 15, but when it pleased God who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through his grace to reveal his son in me that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood. In other words, after his conversion.

Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went to Arabia and returned again to Damascus. So that's where he was converted in Damascus, and he left for three years' time. It says here in verse 18. It says, then after three years of having been in Arabia, I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter and remained with him 15 days.

This is what the Bible Knowledge Commentary says about this section. Paul then reinforced his previous argument by asserting that he waited three years after his conversion to go to Jerusalem, time that was spent in Arabia and Damascus. Would he have waited that long if he had needed theological instruction from the disciples? The answer is no, because he got it directly from Jesus Christ. So, in one way or another, the church will be guided by Christ for the final training period to prepare to rule with him in his kingdom. Just like Queen Esther, before she became queen, she had one year of training course on being a queen. The children in the church will have a training course on how to be princes and princesses under their parent members in the kingdom. Yay! They won't have distractions!

It will be much better than going to school. This group from around the world will be cosmopolitan. They'll have different languages. And maybe, like the Corinthians, God will give the gift of tongues so we can all understand each other and other gifts as well.

We have so many skilled people in the church. We have plenty of teachers.

And for the teenagers, young adults, and old adults, there will be education. There will be a type of ambassador college, but on steroids. There will be lots of activities. There will be a lot of marriages. The ministers are going to be very busy. And the children will have a type of an imperial school on steroids as well. Now, some of these principles are revealed in the Old Testament prophecies. Yes, there will be camps, seminars. There will be entertainment, music, everything. And we won't get distracted. In Isaiah 49, it talks about the children of the members. Once that three-and-a-half-year period ends and they become princes and princesses in God's kingdom, it says in Isaiah 49, 22.

It says, Behold, I lift my hand and in an oath to the nations and set up my standard or banner for the peoples. They shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders. Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens, your nursing mothers, the best of the teachers, will be there. They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, because we are now part of the God family. And lick up the dust of your feet.

Then you will know that I am the Lord, for they shall not be ashamed, who wait for me.

Now that's one of the promises. It goes on in Isaiah 60. Isaiah 60 in verse 1. It says, Arise, and shine, for your light has come. And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you, for behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people. But the Lord will rise over you, and his glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. You're going to be the future kings. You're going to be in charge, and these kings of the earth are going to come and bow. And of course, they will honor your children, who are yet not baptized. They will live their physical lives, but being trained, and they will be in charge under their parents. It says verse 4, Lift up your eyes all around and see.

They all gather together. They come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side. 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 Gentile shall come to you. So again, the children have a wonderful opportunity. Today, they're not recognized.

You see the royalty of this world, how much they're involved in all these tabloids, and everybody's keeping up with them. Well, it's going to be very different, because we're not going to have a frivolous type of tabloids, but the children are going to be known by the peoples of the world.

Notice Isaiah 16. Isaiah 16, where it talks about the place of protection. Again, I want to go quickly through this. Isaiah 16 verse 1. It says, send the land to the ruler of the land from Selah, which is the word for Petra, this place which is the highest mountains next to Jerusalem. It's very close by over there.

To the mount of the daughters of Zion, for it shall be as a wandering bird thrown out of the nest, so shall the daughters of Moab at the fords of Arnhem. So Moab is the area that today is modern Jordan. It says, take counsel, execute judgment, make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day. Hide the outcasts, these people that have been expelled by the world. Do not betray him who escapes. Let my outcasts dwell with you, O Moab. Again, talking about future time, be a shelter to them from the face of the spoiler. For the extortioner is at an end. Devastation ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land. Verse 14, it tells us about how long it's going to be. It says, but now the Lord has spoken, saying, within three years, as the years of a hired man, the glory of Moab will be despised. In other words, Jordan will be humiliated, humbled with all that great multitude, and the remnant will be very small and feeble. But yes, God's wrath is going to fall eventually in that day of the Lord that is coming. In Isaiah 26 verses 19 through 21, I'll read it. It says, Your dead shall live, talking about resurrection. Together with my dead body they shall arise.

Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust. For your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you, kind of a place of protection. And of course, if it is Petra, which we're not 100% sure, but it's certainly it described here as a place of protection, it says shut your doors. And there's only one entrance going into Petra, and it's called the sick, which is this little pass between these huge precipices. And so it says, Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is passed. For behold, the Lord comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also discloses her blood and will no more cover her slain. And from the book by Hutchings, it says, there are thousands of unoccupied, quote, chambers in Petra.

There are over 10,000 caves, and the city at one time had 30,000 in number, and many more could have lived there. And they even have a water works, where you can get the water because they've got all kinds of cisterns. But you know what? That place right now, no Arabs live there. And they say at night that there are ghosts, and so they're all afraid. So you don't have any type of building inside the area of Petra. It's almost like it's awaiting one day for God's people to go. And so I'll just mention here about Luke chapter 19. I won't read the whole thing, but it's a parable of the pounds in Luke 19 verse 11 through 26. The passion translation says the following. It says, at this time Jesus was getting close to entering Jerusalem. The crowds that followed him were convinced that God's kingdom realm would fully manifest when Jesus established it in Jerusalem. So he told them this story to change their perspective. Once there was a wealthy prince, talking about himself, who left his province to travel to a distant land, he would go to heaven, where he would be crowned king and then return. But before he departed, he summoned his ten servants together and said, I'm entrusting each of you with $50,000, which is the term for the pound, to trade while I am away. This is the equivalent, around $50,000.

Invested and put the money to work until I return. And then when he returned, to see how much each had earned and what their profits came to. The first one came forward and said, Master, I took what you gave me and invested it and multiplied ten times. Jesus said, Splendid, you have done well, my excellent servant. Because you have shown that you can be trusted in this small matter, I now grant you authority to rule over ten cities. Talk about cities in his kingdom.

And so, yes, he's going to have rulership and he's going to have people under him. And so, those that are able to make it to that place of safety, wherever it's going to be, we know it's a very special place that is going to be protected by God and it will be the time of final training. And so, the children are going to enjoy that enormously. And they're not going to be corrupted so much by what we see around the world. Many of the parents are very concerned about the schools nowadays because of the corrupting influence of the kids and they have to do homeschooling or something else. Well, here we're going to have our own schools, our own education. So, it's not going to be a bad deal at all for the children to be part of that end time scenario. If it happens to begin during this time, they will one day become princes and princesses and be taught by the best instructors. They will live during that thousand-year period and be transformed in due time and reign under Christ as their parents did. They will rear their children in the millennium as princes and princesses as well. So, there will be dynasties. It won't just be one family. It'll be a continuation.

So, brethren, we need to be faithful as these days of Unleavened Bread attest they should make a difference in our life to remove that leavening from our lives, that sin, because look at what God is offering us in return for being faithful. It is a lesson on faith and obedience. So, whether it happens or not at this time, we don't know if this is the beginning of those birth pangs, but if the children are alive when Jesus Christ returns, what a wonderful life will they have?

And if it's not now, it will eventually happen. And what a wonderful life they have now. If they are faithful, become members, join their parents in God's kingdom. I'll end with that scripture in 1 Corinthians 2 verse 9. I has not seen nor hear heard nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love him.
