For this is what the LORD says: “ I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. Isaiah 66:12
The exiles have prayed for relief, for God to move and for their relationship with Him to be restored. And it will be, because God answers prayer. The faithful remnant will be saved and a final and total destruction will occur for those who align themselves with evil.
Heaven is a mysterious unknown except by faith. We know of its existence but comprehend little of its detail. In these words and others of Isaiah 66 we learn that this whole new world God has created, Holy and free of all sin and temptation, will have nothing but peace, a peace that we cannot fathom.
The picture Isaiah paints is of a baby, totally dependent on its mother, but adored and nurtured. All the resources this parent has to give is doted on its child. So is the Kingdom of Heaven. We are like newborn babes, helpless but for our parent. Our Heavenly Father willingly and lovingly provides EVERYTHING we will ever need.
Leaning Heavenly…..I mean Heavily,
