Hebrews is where we are going in our ongoing adventure. The book theme is functionally re "Keep On Keepin' On" and we begin by addressing some popular but sketchy  doctrines that can war against our success during the upcoming days of great challenges, and great outpourings by our great God, upon His people.

The Millennium is replaced by the best upgrade ever - the redeemed of the Lord, the faithful throughout all of the ages, are invited into the eternal holy city. The New Jerusalem is described, the very of concept of "time" concludes, eternity begins. And we are with our God and our God is with us.

Still more re the Millennium, and then we proceed to the Great White Throne Judgment. Our God is amazing, and amazingly holy, righteous, fair, and just to all and at all times and in all seasons.

First we circle back to the Millennium, because we will be so blessed to set our sights beyond tribulation to the Millennium, looking to that miraculous THOUSAND YEAR period with our Savior on earth, and then we move on discuss the "judgment" of the saints, and the judgment of the unsaved, all prior to the commencement of eternity - which is even better yet.

Our faithful and victorious Savior remains faithful to His holy, non-negotiable and perfectly righteous purposes, and in that is our great hope and our reward.

Much is happening to bring hope to the saints. 

God's faithfulness has brought about the destruction of the harlot Babylon and the demonic world empire. Through it all the faithful Bride has made herself ready. 

The conquering King Jesus is victorious. 

We're here for the purposes of preparation, refinement, and the salvation of those around us. The quipping work of God, with His ever-abundant grace, is more than sufficient for our success in Him. 

We go back into chapter 14 (and then to the beginning of 15) to not miss critical mention of a critical event - the deliverance of the saints from the wrath to come. And we read Moses' 2 songs to better understand the personality and workings of God, always. 

The intensity of the description in chapter 14 of Revelation took me, personally, to Zephaniah last week - for encouragement as to the glorious and joyous outcome of the challenging events we continue to study. There is great encouragement in our knowing and understanding God and His perfect and righteous plans. Our God will sing over us! Meanwhile Chapter 14 of Revelation addresses some necessary activity that will take place, and John on Patmos looks to the Great Harvest.

God has perfect timing (whether or not we fully understand what might be understandable ) for His perfect conclusion to this tumultuous Age. And His saints are assured of His faithfulness, as we are invited into the fullness of our faithfulness.
