“LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.  (2)  IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS . . .”

μονή  “dwelling places,”  “rooms,”  “abodes”  “a place where one may remain or dwell”

“IF IT WERE NOT SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.  (3)  AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN, AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YE MAY BE ALSO.”

WHEN YOU GET UP IN THE MORNING, IS THE FIRST THOUGHT ON YOUR MIND, “TODAY, I MIGHT BE ABLE TO SPEND THE REST OF ETERNITY WITH JESUS!”  DOES IT FILL YOU WITH LONGING . . . OR DREAD AND APPREHENSION?  IS JESUS SO REAL TO YOU THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE BEING IN HIS PRESENCE FOR ALL OF ETERNITY . . . AND NEVER GET BORED AT THE THOUGHT?

 

JESUS . . . SHOW ME WHO YOU REALLY ARE.  SHOW ME THAT IT’S REAL. 

 

EVERYTHING FROM GENESIS 3:14-15

“AND THE LORD GOD SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, BECAUSE THOU HAST DONE THIS, THOU ART CURSED ABOVE ALL CATTLE, AND ABOVE EVERY BEAST OF THE FIELD; UPON THY BELLY SHALT THOU GO, AND DUST SHALT THOU EAT ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE:  (15)  AND I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED; IT SHALL BRUISE THY HEAD, AND THOU SHALT BRUISE HIS HEEL.” GENESIS 3:14-15 

TO REVELATION 20:11-15

“AND I SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE, AND HIM THAT SAT ON IT, FROM WHOSE FACE THE EARTH AND THE HEAVEN FLED AWAY; AND THERE WAS FOUND NO PLACE FOR THEM.  (12)  AND I SAW THE DEAD, SMALL AND GREAT, STAND BEFORE GOD; AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED: AND ANOTHER BOOK WAS OPENED, WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE: AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED OUT OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.  (13)  AND THE SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD WHICH WERE IN IT; AND DEATH AND HELL DELIVERED UP THE DEAD WHICH WERE IN THEM: AND THEY WERE JUDGED EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.  (14)  AND DEATH AND HELL WERE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH.  (15)  AND WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.” REVELATION 20:11-15 

EVERYTHING BETWEEN THOSE TWO “BRACKETS” (GENESIS 3:15 – REVELATION 20:15) IS ALL ABOUT THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY REDEEMING HIS CREATION FROM THE BONDAGE OF SIN AND SATAN.  AND IT WAS ALL DONE IN SUCH A MANNER THAT IT WAS ALL OF GRACE, AND ALL OF FAITH,  “NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.”
