Dear Fufilled, I am happy for you. It is a great blessing to hear from Him. The four verses you have been given have a common theme, the immediacy of Christ and our salvation. When Jesus spoke the words in Matthew 24:34 the hearers would have assumed they would see the things described. 'This generation' meant them. He was encouraging them to appreciate the 'now' of God, and the first fulfillment of the prophecy was in 70 A.D. Therefore they must also have seen and understood a 'coming of Christ' in the first century. Did they understand a presence and intimacy that was like a return? That is where we should be, seeing Him in a real sense, now. Has this deeper understanding been going on throughout the intervening years? Psalm 22:30 says that His seed is accounted to the Lord as ageneration. We are His seed who live in His coming now. We stand and witness how He rules in His kingdom. A kingdom is that which is ruled by the king. When we accept Him as king and therefore become His subjects in His kingdom...now. No end gaining, living always for tomorrow and what will be. He is the great 'I AM'. If the now is right then the future is not a problem Just a few thoughts, bless you Yours and His Paul |
