Someday, perhaps in the not too distant future, all will be changed. It is hard to see it now through the dust and grime of this generation; through the suicide bombings and governmental takeovers, hurricanes and earthquakes, child abuse and drug abuse, public scandal and private heartaches. But in the midst of this we are told:
"Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you
See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you
and his glory appears over you. - Is. 60:1-2 NIV
And out of the darkness and oppression the the earth has become, will arise a new city. It will be an everlasting city, 'a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God.' (Is. 62:5 NIV)
Pass through, pass through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones.
Raise a banner for the nations.
The LORD has made proclamation to the ends of the earth:
"Say to the Daughter of Zion, 'See, your Savior comes!
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.' " - Is. 62:11 NIV
Those are the only words we need to hear....the Savior comes and his reward is with him. None of the noise coming over the airwaves matters...the Savior comes!
