They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:9
As we follow our Lord Jesus, it may occur to us to ask about our destination. It should interest us, since the Bible indicates that the eternity to come will be somewhat longer than the time we will spend here. Throughout the word of the Lord there are prophecies and clues about this eternal home our Lord has gone to prepare for us. One such foretelling is our verse for today. If we read the news this morning, each of us will see the hurting and destroying throughout the headlines. It is not hard to spot that for us! The first line of God's promise today states that it will be no more. This speaks to a rather large change in us and all those who will be there on the Lord's holy mountain. How will this happen? The next lines tell us how, and what a promise it is! Full of the knowledge of the Lord, maybe there won't be quite so many questions to ask in eternity as we had thought?
Great are the Lord's promises of Heaven!
