Restoring The Land

We are given a ministry of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

We are meant to extend reconciliation to all men. But not just to mankind. God is also restoring His earth. There will eventually be a restored or made new earth.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

God will restore everything. That includes the land. Today, as I enjoy the Sabbath, I try to think about what that means. Someday the planet on which we live will once again be set free in the presence of the Creator as He once more walks with His creation upon the earth.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy to be King. We thank and praise the name Yahuah (Lord). Send us now Your overwhelming abundance. Forgive us when we sin. Heal us and deliver us. Let not the hands of evil men take from Your people that which You have given. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
