“And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” (Heb 8:11-12 AV)
WHAT A PROMISE! The writer of Hebrews quotes from the book of
Psalms. Clearly, this is a millennial passage. Everyone of the age of accountability and
older going into the kingdom of Jesus Christ will have accepted Him as their
Lord and Savior. Every one! All others will be disposed of at the battle
of Armageddon. For the first time since
the Garden of Eden, the entire human race will have a relationship with God. All evil will be put away. All sin will be forgiven. For the first time since Adam and Eve ate the
fruit, the earth will be in unison with the God who created them. The cause for this great consummation is the
mercy and grace of God. The Creator will
forgive all sins and iniquities. They will
be remembered no more. Therefore, all
who come to trust in Him will be forever in His company.
Gone will
be the days of door-to-door evangelizing.
No more street preaching will be needed.
The days of invitations will be over.
From this time forward, the Son of God will teach the world
Himself. No more will we need to send
out missionaries. There will be no more
campaigns to reach the lost. No more tear-filled
eyes as we see off our loved ones to a far and distant land. No more Grace Purpose giving. No more need for tract campaigns. There is coming a day when all will be saved
and as the human race matures, those born in the kingdom will hear the gospel
straight from the mouth of the One who died for them. There needn’t be seminaries or
ordinations. The LORD Himself will
instruct the race.
Most of
all, the idea the world will be filled with only those who know Christ is a
thought too wonderful to imagine. With
Jesus Christ as our Pastor and administrator, brotherly love will abound more
and more. With the devil incarcerated in
his eventual home, the tempter can do no harm among God’s people. Once the brethren realize how forgiven they
are, they will be quick to forgive one another.
Paradise awaits. It will
come. The saint looks to that moment
when all unrighteousness will be forgiven and the people of God live in unity
and love one towards another. We will
live in perfect peace because we are at perfect peace with our God. Hallelujah!
Glory to Our God!!
