Thundering

"An eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth," Revelation 14:6.

Right in the middle of the sky, directly overhead (while the Lamb stood on the mountain with his mighty hundred forty-four thousand redeemed, blameless followers, their sound-breaking voices thundering out a new song immediately in front of the Throne and of the four living monsters and of the 24 elders) - while all that was going on, it says - an angel flew over it all shouting an eternal gospel. An enduring gospel. Not optional - ever. And the out-loud message: Fear God. Give him glory. Judgment has come. Worship God, Creator of the universe. No more worship the god of your choice. The god you made up. The god created by your culture. By your people. By your language. By your tribe. By your nation. No longer. Worship the only real God of all who is over all, through all, and in all. The one and only God who made you in his image. Sky kingdom.

With a brother or sister today we bow reverently, humbly before our God and Maker to hear his clear gospel. And, together, we give thanks to God who redeems us and renders us blameless before him.
