God's Sacred Secret - Its Glorious Climax - Conclusion of Behold the Ark of His Covenant

Conclusion of Behold the Ark of His Covenant

Those first ones who have been resurrected to heaven see this symbolic  ark at close range, for they have taken their place as part of the 24 elders around Jehovah's throne.  And the John class  on earth have been enlightened  by Jehovah's spirit to discern His presence in His spiritual temple.  There have also been signs to alert mankind in general to this wonderful development.  John's vision speaks of lightning, voices, thunders, an earthquake, and hail.  (Compare Revelation 8:5)  What do these symbolize?

Since 1914 there has been a tremendous upheaval in the realm  of religion. Happily though, this "earthquake"  has been accompanied  by dedicated  voices giving a clear message about God's  established Kingdom Thunderous 'storm warnings' from the Bible have been sounded .  Like lightning, flashes of insight as to God's prophetic Word have been seen and publicized.  A hard pounding "hail" of divine judgments has been unleashed against Christendom and false religion in general.  All of this should have caught people's attention.  Sadly, though the majority-like the people of Jerusalem in Jesus' time-have failed to discern the fulfillment of these Revelation signs. - Luke19:41-44.

The seven angels continue to sound their trumpets, signaling historic events here on earth.  Dedicated Christians have a great responsibility to continue proclaiming these announcements to the world.  How joyfully they are fulfilling that commission!  This is indicated in that, during just ten years , from 1978 to 1987, they more than doubles the hours spent yearly in their global ministry-from 307,272,262 to 739, 019,286-a 140 percent increase.  Truly "the sacred secret of God according  to the good news" is being made known "to the extremities of the inhabited earth." -Revelation 10:7; Romans 10:18.

Other visions now await us as God' s Kingdom purposes continue to be unveiled.

Next time: God's Kingdom Is Born!
