Simple Thoughts On Promises- 207

Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. (1 Corinthians 15:24)

The time is coming soon when this promise will be fulfilled. The curtains are going to fall on this present world. God has promised a new heaven and a new earth.
Isaiah prophesied it long ago.
"Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. (Isaiah 65:17)

John the Apostle saw it in visions.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. (Revelation 21:1)

It will come into being soon.
The present earth has been reserved for fire and no one can change it's fate.
By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. (2 Peter 3:7)

When Jesus said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (Matthew 28:18), he meant it and soon, as we read in the title verse today,
he will destroy all wicked dominion, authority and power. He will finally hand over the kingdom to God the Father.

Is your future secure in the hands of Jesus? If not, please take a moment and consider what your read just now. Submit your life into the loving hands of Jesus, the Savior of the world. It has great implications regarding your future life.
The Bible says,
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. (Revelation 3:21)
May that blessed promise come true in your life. God bless you.
