Time For God

And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord <FI>is<Fi> as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is hearing--let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting--let him come; and he who is willing--let him take the water of life freely.

Happy and holy <FI>is<Fi> he who is having part in the first rising again; over these the second death hath not authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.

for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.

but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted--Christ's--

for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day have spoken after these things;

and in this <FI>place<Fi> again, `If they shall enter into My rest--;'

And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

and He may send Jesus Christ who before hath been preached to you,

sanctify them in Thy truth, Thy word is truth;

for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

because there was born to you to-day a Saviour--who is Christ the Lord--in the city of David,

so that the son of man is lord also of the sabbath.'

And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what <FI>is<Fi> the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'

But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'

and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him,

and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and the death shall not be any more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor shall there be any more pain, because the first things did go away.'

there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,

again He doth limit a certain day, `To-day,' (in David saying, after so long a time,) as it hath been said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts,'

in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth--in him;

for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing;

`But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself, — read the full passage →
