True that, our heavenly vista's and visions of God's glories cannot be imagined now! It will all be worth the wait! Did I say wait, bah humbug! TR To be there today, if the Father desires according to His plan. :prayer-hands: I had thought the same, Tammie. The two become one. Sounds like a wedding? 😉 Or one new man? As in the birth of the church? It is beyond our comprehension the magnificence of what our Heavenly Father has created, not just in our universe but in His heavens. When we see Him face to face for the first time........oh, how glorious it will be! It's hard to contain the excitement! Though we already know that God exists, seeing Father, Son and Holy Spirit in all their magnificent splendor individually, is also exciting! We may not see the Father's face, but His glory and presence will be palpable! Then able to better relate with the Son, and share hugs, oh my! Lastly, the overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit unabaited will be priceless! Being able to identify the Trinity while yet seeing they are One, our minds cannot apprehend! A complete validation of faith realized! TR What a shock it will be to hear the Holy Spirit unabated. We will each say “Ah! That was You”. What would our lives had looked like if we had learned to really hear His voice when we were young. What if pigs could fly? It could happen! Indeed all the lost opportunities and bad choices are not only regulated to my youth, but are ever present! I'll be at the booth offering swift kicks to the buns who share the same remorse! TR Indeed all the lost opportunities and bad choices are not only regulated to my youth, but are ever present! True, but how much further down the path of our sanctification would we be had we learned from early on to hear His voice? How much more pleasing to Him to see the working of His Spirit in us more abundantly. Those are the opportunities lost that we will see at the Bema Seat judgement. Hi, I do amateur astronomy as a hobby, telescope and all. I have done this since the 1980's. The discovery of a nova associated with a binary star is quite common; hundreds are discovered each year. And Cygnus, aka the Northern Cross being in a central arm of our Milky Way galaxy, has had lots of them over time. Constellation names are just folk lore names that are hung onto even by scientists. So the discovery of a new binary star with the potential of going nova is nothing unusual and not necessarily a sign of an end times event. My area of interest in amateur astronomy is not novae or double or binary stars. I go out to rural areas like camping areas to dark skies to use my telescopes to observe galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae-- aka deep sky objects that are beyond the stars that can be seen just visually; it's like a form of hunting. By the way, I don't buy into any of the "big bang" or evolution stuff that scientists put out. God's Heaven, third heaven, is far beyond and above what we see in the clouds in the day and the starry sky universe at night. t
The impatient hearts that we have to see our Jesus and be eternally united makes all that goes on here on earth seem like looking in that glass dimly but then face to face - what unbelievable joy! :yahoo: :prayer-hands:
