THE 3 GLORIES OF
HEAVEN What do you wonder about Heaven?? Perhaps one of the biggest questions on the minds of Believers is: What will "life" be like, in Heaven?? We speak of it only in generalities: "eternal, perfect, fabulous, joyful, and without sickness, pain and tears." And, as correct as those descriptions are, we're still left without specifics. One of my major thoughts about this is that it will be so wonderful and varied, and beyond our present imaginations, that God has decided not to reveal details, but instead leave it as an item of faith ... one more thing that we can joyfully trust, and praise Him for. Part of the answer surrounds us ... earth's 3 Realms of life. When Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 15 about the differences in "flesh" between birds, animals, and fish, he was touching on a subject that gets even more profound. The creatures that fly, walk, and swim within their respective Realms have numerous, other, substantial differences in their abilities and life-styles. Some differences are previews of life within the 3 Glories of Heaven. Consider the life of a Bird ... The Birds of the Sky-Realm represent the inhabitants of Heaven's 3rd Glory. Glory, Privilege, Reward, and Honor ... are all contained in their God-given abilities and details.
As I wrote elsewhere. God has fashioned the 3 Earth-Realms to represent the 3 Glories of Heaven. It is no accident that the Earth-Realm differences exist the way that they do. Our Creator has given us an interesting foretaste of His awaiting Kingdom. And, if God could design and bring to life all the world's life-forms, using His mortal modeling-clay ... just imagine His creative possibilities when He switches over to immortal clay!!! Praise God ..... forever!!! View
