Safely Home

"Yahweh's loving kindness is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"


4 “See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright but the righteous will live by his faith 5 indeed, wine betrays him; he is arrogant and never at rest. Because he is as greedy as the grave and like death is never satisfied, he gathers to himself all the nations and takes captive all the peoples.

Seeing the Invisible
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
7 We live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to Yahweh the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.” [fn3] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey


21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them,
22
until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.
23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.
24
The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.

26 ‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’

1 Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson? Who is this, robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his strength? “It is I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.” 2 Why are your garments red, like those of one treading the winepress? 3 “I have trodden the winepress alone; from the nations no one was with me. I trampled them in my anger and trod them down in my wrath; their blood spattered my garments, and I stained all my clothing. 4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redemption has come. 5 I looked, but there was no one to help, I was appalled that no one gave support; so my own arm worked salvation for me, and my own wrath sustained me. 6 I trampled the nations in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground.”

22
who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand–with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.


18
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”


15
Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”

3
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of Yahweh is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and Yahweh himself will be with them and be their Elohim.

4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”


5
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

1
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant

2
who testifies to everything he saw–that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

3
No longer will there be any curse. The throne of Yahweh and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.

20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for Yahweh will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.


I am Safely Home in Heaven

I am home in heaven, dear one's Oh, so happy and so bright. There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed. I am now at peace forever, Safe home in heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh, but Yehoshua Ha'Mashiyach love illumined Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me In the way so hard to tread; And with Yehoshua Ha'Mashiyach's arm to lean on Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still. Try to look beyond death's shadows; Pray to trust our Heavenly Father's will.

There is work still wasting for you, So you must not idly stand, Do it now while life remaineth; you shall rest in the Messiah's land

When that work it all completed, He will gently call you home. Oh, the rapture of that meeting; Oh, the joy to see you come.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

The one who lives for this life only will have eternity to regret it. For what you have done for Yehoshua Ha'Mashiyach will last for eternity.

Recommending your friends, family, work colleaugues and even complete strangers.
