Truth in Flashes

Flashes of His glory bring us His Truth.

October’s Awakening, Day 3:

Knowledge does not come to us by details, but in flashes of light from heaven. 

 -Henry David Thoreau

I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

1 Corinthians 15:50-53 NIV

For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. Luke 17:24 NIV

            Knowledge truly does come to us from heaven in flashes of light – flashes of His light of glory. When the light inside your mind comes on, don’t you often wonder if it was Him? Faith and light-speed go hand-in-hand, as He reveals His wonders of creation and the mysteries of life. Since our spirits can entwine, information transfer is immediate, not limited to space and time as our physical nature is.

            Our physical nature is soon to be transformed and changed, too, from perishable to imperishable, from corruptible to incorruptible, and from mortal to immortal. That’s what happens at the Rapture as 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 tells us. If the Rapture leaves you behind, you still may have a chance to see Him come again, at His Glorious Appearing (Luke 17:24), when every eye will see Him like lightning that fills the sky. Just make sure this time you’ve chosen wisely – choose Him.
