Your Future Expectations

Mankind Has Great Expectations

Because we are human, the only thing we can relate to is our clay suits and our abilities that are expressed in the flesh.  Our abilities (talents) vary and we appreciate one another because of it.  Some people have lovely voices and sing.  Some of greater athletic skills and may play professional sports.  Others have skills in expressing ideas and become authors of books and poets.  Still others have inquiring minds and become inventors and entrepreneurs.  Others have excellent memories and become mathematicians and scientists.  We appreciate our brothers and sisters in this world who possess and use their attributes and make life in this world worthwhile.  They become friends, role-models, heroes, and we admire them.  But God has given us just little taste of what your life truly is.  The best of your inherent glory is yet to be revealed to most of you readers.  I want you to discover what you can look forward to upstairs.  You will be pleased to divest yourself of your infirm clay-suit which is aging, infirm, painful and breaking down.  Does a butterfly concern itself or care about the cocoon it emerges from after it spreads its wings and take flight?  That analogy is about us.  We should have no care or concerns about our rotting clay-suits that turn to dust again because that is what it is.  I want to whet your appetite and enhance your understanding of WHO YOU ARE inside your clay suit.  The GLORY GOD CREATED AS YOU is there.  He has merely covered it in clay and TURNED YOUR LIGHT OFF.  This is YOU NOW as He created you, and what you can expect to be when you are “circumcised” and fly away Home!  What happens to men and to demonic scapegoats left behind in God’s crematorium is contrasted and discussed.

II Baruch 49 1 Nevertheless, I will again ask from Thee, O Mighty One, yea, I will ask mercy from Him who made all things. 2 "In what shape will those live who live in Thy day? Or how will the splendour of those who (are) after that time continue? 3 Will they then resume this form of the present, And put on these entrammelling members, Which are now involved in evils, And in which evils are consummated, Or wilt Thou perchance change these things which have been in the world As also the world?" '

II Baruch 50 1 And He answered and said unto me: 'Hear, Baruch, this word, And write in the remembrance of thy heart all that thou shalt learn. 2 For the earth shall then assuredly restore the dead, [Which it now receives, in order to preserve them]. It shall make no change in their form, But as it has received, so shall it restore them, And as I delivered them unto it, so also shall it raise them. 3 For then it will be necessary to show to the living that the dead have come to life again, and that 4 those who had departed have returned (again). And it shall come to pass, when they have severally recognized those whom they now know, then judgement shall grow strong, and those things which before were spoken of shall come.

II Baruch 51 1 And it shall come to pass, when that appointed day has gone by. that then shall the aspect of those 2 who are condemned be afterwards changed, and the glory of those who are justified. For the aspect of those who now act wickedly shall become worse than it is, as they shall suffer torment. 3 Also (as for) the glory of those who have now been justified in My law, who have had understanding in their life, and who have planted in their heart the root of wisdom, then their splendour shall be glorified in changes, and the form of their face shall be turned into the light of their beauty, that they may be able to acquire and receive the world which does not die, which is then promised to 4 them. For over this above all shall those who come then lament, that they rejected My law, and stopped 5 their ears that they might not hear wisdom or receive understanding. When therefore they see those, over whom they are now exalted, (but) who shall then be exalted and glorified more than they, they shall respectively be transformed, the latter into the splendour of angels, and the former shall yet 6 more waste away in wonder at the visions and in the beholding of the forms. For they shall first behold and afterwards depart to be tormented. 7 But those who have been saved by their works. And to whom the law has been now a hope, And understanding an expectation, And wisdom a confidence, Shall wonders appear in their time. 8 For they shall behold the world which is now invisible to them, And they shall behold the time which is now hidden from them: 9 And time shall no longer age them. 10 For in the heights of that world shall they dwell, And they shall be made like unto the angels, And be made equal to the stars, And they shall be changed into every form they desire, From beauty into loveliness, And from light into the splendour of glory. 11 For there shall be spread before them the extents of Paradise, and there shall be shown to them the beauty of the majesty of the living creatures which are beneath the throne, and all the armies of the angels, who [are now held fast by My word, lest they should appear, and] are held fast by a 12 command, that they may stand in their places till their advent comes. Moreover, there shall then be 13 excellency in the righteous surpassing that in the angels. For the first shall receive the last, those whom they were expecting, and the last those of whom they used to hear that they had passed away. 14 For they have been delivered from this world of tribulation, And laid down the burden of anguish. 15 For what then have men lost their life, And for what have those who were on the earth exchanged their soul? 16 For then they chose (not) for themselves this time, Which, beyond the reach of anguish, could not pass away: But they chose for themselves that time, Whose issues are full of lamentations and evils, And they denied the world which ages not those who come to it, And they rejected the time of glory, So that they shall not come to the honour of which I told thee before.'

You and all of mankind have great expectations!
