Section 29

Wow! Blow my mind with how awesome this section is. There is literally so many awesome things here so let's start with my favorite! I love tha satan has no power to tempt little children (v46-47). Which also means anything they do wrong is completely forgiven because they don't know better! Drawing the the walls, peeing on my floor, breaking anything, and so much more! Don't get me wrong, as adults we need to teach them that those things aren't good or acceptable, but they have a grace period to learn before being punished for not knowing the law.

Now for my awesome relearning of truths about the second coming. There are so many signs told to us like the sun being darkened, moon going blood red, and stars falling from the sky (v14). The Lord is going to descend from heaven with His twelve aposes in a pillar of fire and have them be judges over the house of Israel (v12)! That's when the wicked will be in trouble because flies are coming to eat their flesh as it falls of their bones...gross right (v17-19)? But it is all meant to be because The Lord will have 1,000 years among men to cleanse the earth with His power (v11).

What's sad is that men will start to deny their God after 1,000 years (v22). After that happens the earth and heaven will be consumed to make room for a new heaven and a new earth (v23). The dead will be raised, the first will be last, the last will be first, and so much more of backwardness that is it somewhat confusing (v26,32-33). I have my theories but I'm not confident enough in then to share them on here.

A new comforting scripture of mine I marked in this chapter is v1,5 because I can imagine the arm of Christ wrapping around me with mercy and comforting me with v5. Ah! Awesome. It helps me in the hard times when I'm going through trials and temptations. Which is also mentioned here and explained that it is allowed so that we can practice our agency, and we can know the sweet because we experience the bitter (v39). We have always and will always have agency. The people in heaven who chose to rebel against God proves that we chose to follow God's plan. I'm glad I made that choice :)
