FOR THE TRUTH

OFTEN USING ‘SYMBOLS’ ~
A LOVING GOD LOVES TO COMMUNICATE WITH US!
Symbols, Word Pictures, and Visions in Scripture.

A Bible Study especially as it relates to Jesus, Israel and God's People, (the 'Church'), & the events relating to the Second Coming of Jesus.

INTRODUCTION.
Every part of Scripture has many, many beautiful messages from the Holy LORD God, through the writers of the Bible, to any human being who wants to understand, by the Holy Spirit, what God is saying. This alone is an amazing fact! That the Great Sovereign God of the Universe, Who surely has everything He needs, would ever want to communicate messages to us ~ is so wonderful! It is all because, He is LOVE! 'Love' longs to share all that is good with others.
So another fact is that God gave mankind 3 parts of their personality, like Himself, “in His Image” (& totally different from animals), that would make communication between God and man, possible.

These are the ways we are actually 'made in God's image'.
1. Intellect, (a mind to think & imagine).
2. Emotions, (to feel, care, love).
3. Volition, (free will, to choose).

We need to use both our intellect (knowledge, we have because of our mind, or brain), plus the emotional power to love - or care about what is good and right, to then use our will to make our choices.

With these facts in our minds, we then need to carefully understand the ways
God communicates with human people, like us.

We believe God mainly communicates through the written Word of God, therefore we feel God’s true people should be very wary of personal ‘prophetic words’ by another human being.

If we really want to hear from God, we can do so, as we wait on God in prayer & seek to discern His Word to us. He may use other clear vindications; by circumstances, provision of needs or Godly counsel but it MUST be in line with the Bible.

[‘The New Age’ belief, (part of the ‘green agenda’/ global warming theories) teaches that Humans are equal to animals. This simply is not true. If a human is limited to the knowledge of an animal it is a real tragedy, though some can be taught to do clever ticks, & may seem intelligent, none of them can understand ‘ideas’ or spiritual concepts.]

Different ways God communicates with people.
By Instructions, Illustrations, Explanations, Experiences, Parables, (stories), Live Visions, or Dreams, or ‘word pictures’ that we call ‘symbols’, in the Bible.
(Would you like to go through each of these and find examples of them?
There are hundreds!)

In this study we are looking at special Symbols, and some meanings of them.

WHAT SYMBOLS ARE.
☼ ‘Symbols’ in the Bible, are words or names for actions or objects which are meant to convey a Spiritual truth, or concept, as a way of enlightening our minds with a deeper understanding of truths. We could even say they are like ‘windows’ or ‘pictures’. God knows we all like real lifelike ‘pictures’ that help us understand words & ideas. When the actions, or objects, (or even living creatures or nature), or stories that are written about, are part of ordinary life, they remind us of the wonderful, life giving messages God wants to give us.

And the reality is, that through God’s Word we can find Eternal Life, for now & Eternity!

* Using symbols to share an idea, should be no trouble to modern people, because in a way these are like modern ‘logos’ – that just by using a tiny picture can tell us about something, whether traffic signs, hobby or sports activities or advertising of businesses & products – symbols are something even children can recognize. Computers rely a lot on the use of little pictures called ‘icons’ to suggest actions or information!
So, these ‘word pictures’ or symbols can explain ideas, instruct us, warn or encourage us!

The need to keep to obvious, main meanings of Symbols, & the Bible explanations.
Sadly, there is a danger of taking a symbolic word or description, in the Scripture and giving it some meaning it was never meant to have! This can be very serious, and will dishonour God’s Word, as well as confusing people. Sometimes frequent use, tells you what the symbol means.

This is why we need to look first at the context, (where the meaning is often explained) and at the use of this same symbol elsewhere in the Bible. If it is not clear, let the Holy Spirit guide you and just accept what is written. People of God have written commentaries to help us too.

As the Bible was written by Jewish people, for Jewish people, an understanding of Jewish customs and history is important, to the over-all understanding of the Bible, which anyone can have. This can bring extra dimensions of joyful meaning.

If the symbol involves actually doing something, this is an even greater reminder, like Baptism, or eating some bread & a little grape juice to remember the death of our Lord Jesus/Yeshua.
God knows we remember better by actions, than even by seeing or reading, & more than hearing!

We have included a long list of Biblical Symbols later in this study.
But we recommend you see: www.revelation-today.com/A1Bible%20Symbols.htm
There you will find a wonderful, list of Biblical symbols, even with coloured pictures!

FIRST WE HAVE CHOSEN a few SPECIAL SYMBOLS & WORD PICTURES.

1. Here are some of Jesus Messiah, Son of God. (You may like to add others.)
(Only a few chosen to illustrate the need to be careful in our understanding and use of symbols.)

Angel, Isaiah 63:9, "the angel of His Presence saved them... " But Jesus is not an ‘angel’.
Apostle, Hebrews 3:1, "Jesus the Apostle..." But Jesus is far more than ‘an apostle’.
Bread, John 6:48 & 51, "I am the Bread of Life..." Jesus is spiritually like ‘bread’ or a –
Door & a Good Shepherd, John chapter 10, “I Am…the Gate…The Good Shepherd…”
Jesus used a total of 7 sayings, with the significant words, ‘I AM’ ~ using ‘symbols’ of meaning!
Vine, John 15:1, “I Am the Vine…” is one of the 7 sayings. Do you know what the other 3 are?
Bridegroom, Matthew 9:15, "the time will come when the Bridegroom will be taken..."
Cornerstone, Eph. 2:20, 1 Peter 2:7, "...I lay in Zion a chosen and precious cornerstone."
Daystar, 2 Peter 1:19, Rev.22:16, "...I am the bright Morning Star."
Lamb, John 1:29, "Behold, the Lamb of God..." and Rev. 5:6.
Lion, Rev. 5:5, "See the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David..."
But we need to note, some word pictures of Yeshua/ Jesus are true, & not symbols, such as “King of Kings & LORD of Lords” & “Faithful & True” & “The WORD of God” & other names in the book of Revelation, especially.

2. God's people are also referred to in symbols & word pictures.
A. Especially the Nation of Israel.
Vine –Jeremiah 2:21, “I had planted you like a choice vine, of choice & reliable stock. Then how did you turn against Me into a corrupt, wild vine?” Compare Ezekiel chapter 15!
Vineyard – Isaiah 5:1 –7, “The vineyard of the LORD Almighty is the house of Israel &… Judah.”
Also Isaiah 27: 2-6, “Sing about a fruitful vineyard…”
Israel as a Wife – in Ezekiel 16 – unfaithful –“You adulterous wife!” verse 32.
But Isaiah 54: 6, “The LORD will call you back, as if you were a wife, deserted…a wife who married young…” The book of Hosea portrays Israel as an unfaithful wife that God won back!
God’s Sheep – Psalm 100 – “We are His; we are His People, the sheep of His pasture.” And there are at least 12 other references to Israel (or People God cares about), being God’s ‘sheep’.
An earthenware pot – Jeremiah 18, “O House of Israel, cannot I do with you, as this potter…?”
City of Zion, Isaiah 14: 32. “The LORD has established Zion, in her His people will find refuge.”
A Treasured Possession! Psalm 135: 4, “The LORD has chosen Jacob to be His own, Israel to be His treasured possession.” Just imagine that!
Inheritance, Isaiah 19: 25, “Israel, My inheritance.” Let the nations argue with that!

B. The Christian & Jewish Believers in Yeshua/ Jesus.
Body of Christ, Eph. 1:23, "God...appointed [Jesus] to be Head over...the Church, which is His Body..." Also 1 Cor. 12:27, "...you are the Body of Christ..."
Bride, Rev. 21:2, also depicted as a City, "...the holy City, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her Husband..."
Bride the Wife of the Lamb, Rev.21:9, "I will show you the Bride the wife of the Lamb."
Temple, 1 Cor. 3:16 “…you, yourselves are God’s Temple…” Cp. 6:19, & 2 Cor. 6:16!
Olive Tree, Romans 11: 17 -21. “And you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in… & now share in the nourishing sap, from the olive root.” A very special symbolic word picture!

So it is clear that symbols need to be seen as just that - word pictures to convey God's thoughts and messages of sorrow or encouragement to us.
Used rightly they are full of blessings & make things clearer to us!

THREE SPECIAL VISUAL SYMBOLS THAT JEWS & CHRISTIANS NEED TO UNDERSTAND.

1. The Cross. The symbol of the cross should have, & can have very special meaning if understood and accepted in the right way.
It represents death, especially the death of Jesus/ Yeshua.

A description of the cross symbol. Actually, as someone has pointed out, it is a symbol of deathly torture. It is not unlike a hanging noose, or an electric chair. This is because the sign of a cross, represents symbolically, the way the Roman soldiers killed their criminals or enemies around the time of the first century.

[It has been reported that just for a short time, near the death of Yeshua/ Jesus, the Romans had forbidden the Jews to use their traditional way of execution, by stoning, which is partly why they demanded the death by crucifixion at the illegal court case against Jesus. Later at the time of Stephen’s death, stoning had been re-instated.]

There are various explanations of exactly how the cross looked; whether it was an actual tree, or a single long stake in the ground, or a wooden upright piece with a cross-bar to which the arms of the victim was nailed, while his feet was fastened to the upright stake. It was indeed, the cruelest form of death, & took a long time for the person to die – even days.

Problems with the symbol of a cross.

The Jewish people have a great problem with this symbol, because of the unjust accusations of ignorant people that it was Jews who crucified Jesus/ Yeshua, but it was the religious leaders in fact. The truth is that GOD was in the act of allowing His Son to die because of the sins of every human being, me & you, and every person who has ever lived. Because “all have sinned…” God foretold this death of His only unique Son through the prophets, centuries before it was devised as a means of execution. [Read Psalm 22.]
Often the graves of those who have died, (especially in wars) are marked with crosses. In a sense it is a convenient way to mark a burial site, as the stake can be placed in the soil, & the crossbar can bear the name of the person buried there. However, if that is how it is used, that is not a problem, generally, as long as it does not have the intention of declaring that person had a personal faith in the death of Jesus for their sins. Sadly many graves or crosses at the site of motor accidents, or even war dead, would not have that meaning. It is equally dishonest, for unbelievers to wear a cross as a piece of jewelry, if it does not hold a special meaning of declaring the true faith in Jesus’ death that the wearer has. A twisted cross, as used by the Nazis in WW2 was really blasphemous.

It is good if the person who wears or uses the symbol of a cross lives by its meaning!

The ‘empty’ cross. This means that the symbol of the cross does NOT display a human figure attached to it, (as some branches of Christianity show). So, where it is used reverently as a bare cross it can represent the glorious truth that Jesus/ Yeshua though He did die on a cross of shame & agonizing punishment for our sins, (and was buried by those who in that time were very familiar with when a body was truly dead), He came ALIVE & left the tomb empty –even while the grave stone was still in place! If a symbol could be devised that represented that empty grave, that would be a lovely symbol to wear!
A lovely symbol –using Ephesians 3:18. Paul’s prayer is that, “we may have power, together with all the saints [Believers] to grasp:

How wide & how long - [as wide as the outstretched arms of our Saviour, right into Eternity],   ↔
How high – [high enough to lift the Son of God naked, before all, on a shameful cross],           ↑
& how deep – [so deep He took all our sins down to hell so Believers could be forgiven],        ↓
& to know the LOVE ♥ that passes knowledge, that you might be filled ☼ to the measure of the fullness of GOD!”
[If you put the arrows together you will have a ┼ which as a plus sign joins us to God.]

2. The symbol of a fish.

The pictured outline of a fish. This symbol was used a certain amount by the early Messianic Believers, including some Gentile Christians. It is said to have been a secret symbol, being used, when persecution of mainly Jewish Believers were coming under fierce persecution by religious Jews, & by the Ruling powers at that time, mainly Romans. [It is worth noting that, while after the time of Constantine, gradually Jewish Believers were becoming estranged from Gentile Believers, having first been virtually excommunicated by the Jewish religious Leaders. These were mainly religious leaders who survived the Roman destruction of the Jewish Temple at Jerusalem. They gathered at the town of Yavneh to try to form religious rulings, which would hold the Jewish people together in Judaism, when there was no longer a Temple to centralise the religious practices. They ruled that anyone who claimed to be, or fallowed someone who claimed to be the Messiah, should no longer be accepted as a Jewish worshipper of God. This helped to encourage persecution & so Believers to be less obvious, & therefore communicating by using the secret symbol of fish.
The meaning given to the symbol of a fish. This was based on the letters of the word ‘ ‘ICTHIOS’ in Greek, using Greek letters. [Later the Latin form was ‘ICHTHYS’.]
Iota, -first letter of Iesous= Jesus,
Ch, -Christos, Greek for Messiah = anointed One,
Th, -Theou, = God,
Y, - Yios = Son, or ‘Incarnate’.
S, - Soter = Saviour.
It was always drawn with head on the left, (reminder of the first letter of the Greek alphabet).
The tail was to the right. Sometimes an eye was drawn on it.

The Scriptural background. Most likely was the words of The Master to his first disciples who were fishermen, “I will make you ‘Fishers’ of men”

3. The beautiful symbol of ‘David’s Star’.
Modern use. In recent times, this has become a beautiful symbol full of meaning – but varying according to different ‘schools of thought’. Some people reject it as an ancient symbol with a bad meaning, though that is also true of the use of the cross & other markings, in ancient history. The fact that it has been adopted as the center-piece for the Flag of the nation of Israel, now gives it the meaning of a renewed nation of Jewish people in the own land. As such, for Bible reading Believers it also represents the fulfillment of many Scriptural promises & prophecies of the restoration of this God chosen nation of people. We respect it as that!

Possible meanings. Since the symbol of the star is made up of two triangles, over-lapping each other, one meaning that is very representative of the truth – (especially for Messianic/Christian Believers is that the 3 points of the upward pointing triangle, could represent God, - Father, Son & Holy Spirit.) The downward pointing triangle, could be said to represent Abraham, Isaac & Jacob.

[Avraham, Iztzak, & Yacov – in Hebrew.] Other meanings have been suggested too.
Biblical associations. God moved the ‘false prophet’ Balaam to say, “A star will come out of Jacob…” and taking the whole Word of God, we see that God’s intention was for Israel, as a Nation, was to bring light to the world! So we praise God for beautiful ‘pictures’ like this.

As we have said there are hundreds of symbols in Scripture
which we cannot discuss fully, but here are a few,
grouped under various headings.
Remember!
Symbols in the Bible are to represent a spiritual truth,
as a way of enlightening our minds with a
deeper understanding –to bless us!
All of these can be checked out in Bible concordances.

Numerical Numbers. One, (Primary – most important); Two, (spiritual alternatives, life & death, Heaven & hell, right & wrong, etc.) Three, (the Tri-unity of God, & also man’s make up, body, soul, & spirit). Four, (the extent of Earth’s “four corners”, e.g. - “the 4 winds of Heaven”.) Five, (represents grace/ mercy). Seven, (Spiritual perfection). Eight, (Salvation, & a new day/ beginning.)
Ten, ( completeness, especially of a time of testing.) Twelve, (foundation of leadership roles.)

Colours Red, scarlet, crimson, (for sin and sacrifice, “though your sins be red like crimson…”) White – (Heavenly purity –“white garments…” Blue, (Holiness, as seen in Temple use.)

Natures Garden. There are so many symbols of plants, we can only list some; vine & vineyard, olive trees, fig trees, fir, myrtle & pine; mustard seed, wheat & tares, palm (branches), rose, etc.

Natural objects. Water, rivers, springs, seas; stones (stony hearts), fire. Also gold, silver Iron & precious stones.

The world’s atmosphere. Sky, clouds, sun, moon, stars, lightening, rain, hail & snow, rainbows.

Animals & birds. Donkeys, horse & mule, (Don’t be like…”), wild animals, especially snakes & serpents, (representing the Evil one.) The symbol of the Lion & the Lamb are special for Jesus. Beasts or monsters represent evil political powers or their leaders. Doves, ravens, eagles, sparrows are among birds that represent different things. It’s worth checking these out!

Parts of the human Body. Head, eyes, tongue, heart, hands, arms, feet, back, (even God, Who is a Spirit is illustrated symbolically using these, to give us an idea that He wants us to know Him!)

Human Occupations. Shepherd, fisherman, soldier, wrestler, sower, farmer, master of workers, servants, housewife, princes or kings, ‘keepers of vineyards’ & gardens.

Relationships. Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, children, brothers & bride or wife; symbols often used especially in relation to God, which is amazing &beautiful!

Human actions. Kneeling, walking, running, fighting, killing, sleeping, watching, reading, & eating.

Manmade articles. There are many of these – for instance, every part of the building & the furniture & furnishings in the Tabernacle & the Temple, including the priests’ clothes & their colours & substances used to make them, were all symbolic of God’s holiness, & the only way to be near Him & worship Him.

In addition, of course many common articles were used, such as bread, lamps, cooking pot, basket, & a plumbline. For war: banners, swords, shields, bows, & an iron rod. For priests or rulers: seals (on documents), trumpets, (2 kinds: rams horns, or silver), robes, crowns, rings, diadems or victory wreaths. Books of records, like the book of Life.

Life experiences. We list the ones to do with our Faith, such as ‘new birth’, birth pangs, baptism, marriage, memorial feast of Yeshua/ Jesus’ death, eating bread & drinking grape juice. What we actually do is the best reminders of the true meanings of the symbols we use.

Actions by people. But ordinary activities to illustrate spiritual ‘actions’ are farming, fighting, running, walking, sleeping, & reading, kneeling & singing, which are actual things we all do. The Bible is very practical.

Relating to royalty. Inheritances, made princes, crowned, given glory & honour because we are God’s royal children by faith!

Parents or teachers, can use these to play games of
organise quizzes, & competitions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MANY OF THE ‘WORD PICTURES’ in the BIBLE are called ‘VISIONS’.
These are using lots of words to portray a series of events, or the effects of actions, sometimes by GOD, or Jesus, or World Rulers, or mankind in general. They are like modern VIDEOS! (We can only look at a few of these, briefly, in this article.)
WORD PICTURES & SYMBOLS RELATIVE TO ‘END TIMES’ & ISRAEL’S GLORIOUS FUTURE ON EARTH.

IN THIS WORLD BEFORE THE RETURN OF YESHUA AT HIS SECOND COMING.

Israel as a Nation of people restored to their own Land.
Ezekiel 36. Wonderful pictures ‘painted’ by Ezekiel of returning exiled Jewish people, large families, fertile & prosperous countryside, rebuilt ruined cities, fulfilled symbols into reality 2,500 years later, as in the 20^th Century A.D. An example of an often used symbol is “the Mountains if Israel,” which can be literal – but even part of the promised area, which today’s Israel does not live in, (i.e. right up to the Euphrates River ‘in today’s Syria’.) It can mean Leaders, also.

Israel depicted as a panic-stricken nation under enormous threat of disaster.
Jeremiah 30: 1 – 13. A vivid picture of even a man agonizing as a woman having labour pains.

Also referring to the first Jacob’s terrifying, one night of fear at Peni’el, where he wrestled all night with a Man – Clearly the God-man Yeshua who initiated Him into being the head of a nation with a new name, (never heard before) - ‘Isra’el’. This is often said to last 3 years – but may only be ‘one night’ – like Jacob experienced – or a short, fearful time, of serious threat from an enemy army, as in Ezekiel 38. [A still future event – NOT the same as ‘Armageddon’.]

Israel portrayed as a body, undergoing a life-saving heart transplant operation by God. Ezekiel 38: 26 describes this. “I will give you a new heart & put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone & give you a heart of flesh.” Again a symbolic picture of the new attitude Israel will have to ADONAI, in the future as He brings the nation back to their own Land.

Part of the same symbolic picture is “I will sprinkle clean water on you, & you will be clean,” This recalls the symbolic sprinkling of pure water for ritual cleansing in connection with worship of God.

The Future glorious Kingdom of God; ‘The Mountain of the LORD’S Temple’ means Jerusalem. This is described in almost the same words in Isaiah 2: 2 5, & Micah 4: 1-5, which must mean it is very important & special! Another name is here too, “The House of the God of Jacob”, the Temple.

Israel as a glorious nation on Earth although the rest of the world is in darkness;
A wonderful picture often misplaced into ‘the Millennium.’ Isaiah chapter 60: 1 – 3 for Israel, soon. “Arise, Shine, for your light has come, & the glory of the LORD rises on you, see darkness covers the Earth & thick darkness is over the peoples, but ADONAI rises upon you.”

Israel depicted as a newly re-married bride.
Isaiah 62: 1-5. "You will be called Hephzibah. And your Land will be married" This can be linked to Isaiah 54: 5 & 6. “Your Maker is your Husband…. ADONAI will call you back, as if you were a wife deserted & distressed in spirit – a wife that married young, only to be rejected… I will bring you back…” Absolutely lovely symbolic picture of God restoring the Nation of Israel to Himself!

Wonderful pictures of Israel as a restored Nation in their own Land, spiritually holy!
Ezekiel must have been thrilled to have these good visions after some awful ones, given in chapters 36 & 37. "Then you will know that I AM the LORD." Notice the times "I will" comes!

But the symbolic picture is “I will no longer hide My Face from them.” We believe this is God’s way of saying they will recognise far more about God when they recognise that Yeshua/ Jesus is the ‘Face of God’. This symbol comes about 30 times, throughout the whole Bible! 2 Corinthians 4: 6 talks about “the Glory of God in the Face of Messiah/ Christ…” [See our study on this here.]
In other words if you want to know what GOD is like, look at Jesus! We have 4 accounts of some of what he did. He noticed women, children & ‘outcast people’ like lepers. He cared & cried, too!

A vision of how God will cause the Nation of Israel to recognize and know Him.
Ezekiel depicts this in amazing ‘technicolour detail’ in chapters 38 & 39, especially vs. 29! This is indeed like a video, as it gives the cast, the scene, the actions, (almost the sound effects!) of this army that threatens the very existence of the nation of Israel, but is destroyed themselves, by God, without harming anyone in Israel! But the earthquake, is actual –not symbolic.
[See more than one translations of this or see our articles ‘Gog & Magog – What do they mean?’]

Some very lurid pictures of 4 End time political powers, & the 5th Good Kingdom.
Daniel’s vision in chapter 7 could hardly be clearer. (We agree with teachers who say these ‘kingdoms’ are NOT the same as those of the past, visualised in the great stature of Ch. 2.)
The ‘beasts’ or monsters Daniel saw are symbolic pictures of actual Political groups of nations in our world, now. The other symbols are ‘heads’ & ‘horns’ & ‘crowns’, symbolizing national powers.
[See our study on ‘Daniels 5 End Time kingdoms'.]

Symbolic action pictures (like videos) in The New Testament.
Again there are many – symbols Jesus used of fishing, sowing seed, playing weddings, etc. How many can you find? A lot of these are to warn us about being READY for Jesus Second Coming!

Many of the Parables of Jesus, e.g. 10 Virgins, the Talents, and the Sheep & Goats, etc.
Matthew 25, is one of several places where end-time events are portrayed in story forms.
Servants getting ready for a marriage banquet, bridal virgins hoping for a relationship with the Bridegroom. (They were not ‘bridesmaids’ in the sense we use that name. [See our article here.]

So many of the events in Heaven, or on Earth or for the Jewish people are in the book of Revelation!
These are not necessarily consecutive, that is they may not happen always in the order they are described, (some maybe at the same time as other events portrayed). The meanings of most are clear to lovers of the whole Word of God.

THE PROBLEMS as this writer sees it, OF USING SYMBOLS WRONGLY, - are two.
1. The symbolism is taken too literally. The Bride of Revelation 12. ‘Saints’ or true People of God, are also called, a Body, Temple, Royal Priesthood, Kings, Royal Family, an Olive Tree, the Branches of the Vine, Sheep, and more. All very beautiful PICTURES of which Bride is one. A Bride becomes a wife. So we must be careful NOT TO DIVIDE, what is meant to represent ONE special group of people – just because they are given many descriptions.

There are dangers in separating them.
2. There are even more sad and wrong conclusions, which divide the Godhead. Jews recite often, "The LORD, our God, the LORD, is ONE." "ADONAI, Elohaynu, ADONAI, Echad!"
It is very, very important that we understand, and believe that GOD IS ONE!
God has very graciously revealed Himself in 3 Persons for us to see their roles tho' ONE.

IN CONCLUSION
We are glad a lot of people visit this site to look at the subject of SYMBOLS.
But we would like to invite readers to look at some of our other interesting & informative studies – especially about being READY for ‘The Second Coming of Yeshua’.
Also ‘The Messiah’s Kingdom’ (in the Millennium), a real time, not symbolic.
Or ‘Eternity ~ a New Heaven & a New Earth’.
Jesus loved teaching about ‘the Kingdom of Heaven’ - & so do we!
May God bring His Kingdom into our hearts – first,
Also into the representatives we call ‘the Church’,

Then, literally in this re-created world when Jesus RETURNS to this EARTH!
May we be part of all His wonderful Plans.
