Forever and Ever

15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious, and the visions of my head alarmed me. 16 I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of the things. 17 ‘These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth. 18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.’
Daniel 7:15-18

Forever and Ever

The presence of the angels and the breaking in of the Almighty into creation scares us. We know that the sinner cannot stand before God and live. It does not matter if you think yourself atheist, Muslim, Buddhist, or an another. When the living God comes into your midst, we are all like Daniel. It alarms us. We are anxious. Or we are like Isaiah (Isaiah 6) and declare, "Woe is me! I am a man of unclean lips living in the midst of a people of unclean lips!" But the angels of God comfort you, O Christian. You are loved by God. Have no fear! Peace be with you! The Father has chosen to give you the kingdom. You will possess it because Jesus has won it for you. By his death on the cross he has destroyed death and by his rising again he has restored life and immortality to you. You are his own and you receive the kingdom forever and ever. Amen.
