Month of Thanksgiving - Day 30

啟示錄 11:15-18
15 第七位天使吹號，天上就有大聲音說：「世上的國成了我主和主基督的國，他要做王，直到永永遠遠。」 16 在神面前、坐在自己位上的二十四位長老就面伏於地，敬拜神， 17 說：「昔在、今在的主神，全能者啊！我們感謝你，因你執掌大權做王了。 18 外邦發怒，你的憤怒也臨到了！審判死人的時候也到了！你的僕人眾先知和眾聖徒，凡敬畏你名的人，連大帶小得賞賜的時候也到了！你敗壞那些敗壞世界之人的時候也就到了！」

年老的約翰在異象中看見，有一天，當耶穌基督再來的時候，世上的國成了我主和主基督的國，祂要做王，直到永永遠遠。祂不僅僅要在基督台前來賞賜每一個敬畏祂名的人，也要在白色大寶座的前面來審判每一個抵擋祂的人。為著這一個榮耀的結局，天上有感謝和讚美的聲音！

當我們真看到這個世界的結局和我們榮耀的前途的時候，我們都應該把所有的感謝都歸給這位昔在、今在的主神，全能者！也讓我們在今天每一個的環境中都歡歡喜喜盼望 神的榮耀！

Day 30
Revelation 11:15-18
15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned. 18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear Your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

Aged John saw in vision that one day Jesus Christ would come again, and by then the kingdoms of this world would become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever. Not only will He reward everyone who reveres God's name before the judgement seat of Christ, but also He will judge those who deny Him before the great white throne. Sounds of praises and thanks will be to the Lord in heaven for this glorious ending!

When our eyes are truly open to see the end of this world and our glorious future in heaven, we cannot help giving all thanks to our almighty God who was and is and is to come! May we all rejoice in hope of the glory of God today!
