To Life Reclaimed! (Contest This too shall pass – Lee Henry)

“I know he will rise in the resurrection
on the last day.”

Martha,
about Lazarus, her brother,
to Christ the Messiah,

in profound faith
did earnestly say.

Speaking of an earthly restoration to life.

A marvelous hope for many in memorial tombs

who did in death
silently, tragically,
in unconsciousness lay.
John 11:24; Eccl. 9:5, 10; John 5:28, 29; :

(“Do not be amazed at this,
for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out,

those who did good things to a resurrection of life,

and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.”

After new ‘scrolls’ are opened
when the dust
of God’s great day of vengeance–

“For Jehovah has a day of vengeance”.
Isa. 34:8.

has settled.

And the total elimination
of injustices and strife.

*

“And I saw the dead,
the great and the small,

standing before the throne,
and scrolls were opened.

But another scroll was opened;
it is the scroll of life.

The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.”

Done,
after they had begun living
under new circumstances
free of violence and rife.

*

“For the wages sin pays is death,

but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Rev. 20:12; Rom. 6:23.)

*

However,
Jesus,

by his resurrecting his beloved friend,
provided him a glorious new opportunity

to heavenly rulership attain,

as a ‘new creation’
“to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in the light.”
2 Cor. 5:17; Col. 1:12.

Initiated by a loving Father,
whose wonderful purpose
was for global humanity
perfection to reclaim.

After Satan and Adam’s deflection
and centuries of defamation

to Jah Jehovah’s
magnificent name.

*

Certainly, then,
will not God cause justice to be done for his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night,

while he is patient toward them?

I tell you,
he will cause justice to be done to them speedily.

Nevertheless, when the Son of man arrives, will he really find this faith on the earth?”
Luke 18:7, 8.

*

‘The father of all those having faith’
Rom. 4:11.

Abraham
attempted to sacrifice Isaac,
his one and only child,

prefiguring Jah Jehovah’s offering
of His dear Son,

over which Adamic death
will be eternally conquered.

Yes,
a stupendous victory

finally won!

Abraham could not know when his son would be raised to life again.

But he trusted that Jehovah would resurrect Isaac,
because he was his promised seed,

if the putting to death of him
was actually
divinely allowed.

*

“By faith Abraham, when he was tested, as good as offered up Isaac—

the man who had gladly received the promises attempted to offer up his only-begotten son

although it had been said to him:

“What will be called your offspring will be through Isaac.

But he reasoned that God was able to raise him up even from the dead,

and he did receive him from there in an illustrative way.”
Heb. 11:17-19.

*

So, for us
“These things happened to them
as examples,

and they were written for a warning
to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have come.”
1 Cor. 10:11.

Giving us hope as we traverse the darkness
of our horrendous

‘last days’.

A ‘great crowd’.

An international
surviving sum.

*

“After this I saw, and look! a great crowd,
which no man was able to number,
out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes;
and there were palm branches in their hands.

And they keep shouting with a loud voice,
saying:
“Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

““These who are dressed in the white robes,
who are they and where did they come from?”

So right away I said to him:
“My lord, you are the one who knows.”

And he said to me:
These are the ones who
come out of the great tribulation,

and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

That is why they are before the throne of God,
and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple;

and the One seated on the throne
will spread his tent over them.

They will hunger no more nor thirst anymore, neither will the sun beat down on them nor any scorching heat,

because the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them and will guide them to springs of waters of life.

And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.””
Rev. 7:9, 10; 13-17.

*

Therefore,
Jah used Abraham’s faithful actions
to provide subsequent blessings

foreshadowing future blessings to mankind eternally,

by means of another only-begotten Son
who had a prehuman existence;

already in heaven as a loyal spirit had been.

As a ‘masterworker’
before any other creation
In God’s image
had
amazingly begun:

“He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of all creation;

because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,

whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities.

All other things have been created through him and for him.

Also,
he is before all other things,

and by means of him all other things were made to exist”.
Col. 1:15-17.

*

So, Jesus, himself
was resurrected back
to an elevated immortal heavenly glory

for his loving Father’s sovereignty
universally to defend.

And endless life, eternal,
promised to obedient mankind
who can forever living stay,

as long as free-will granted
will be used to integrity

everlastingly humbly display.
