Kingdom has come

Wednesday May 19th, Revelation 22: 14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. We hear statements like this and begin to feel at home. Finally God gets it and those dogs and immoral idolaters are, in the end, outside the Holy City, the Kingdom of God on earth. We can breathe a sigh of relief, until we realized that there are no closed gates in the city. Perhaps these sinister folks are out there waiting for those inside the city to come and get them and tell them the story until, from their bottom in life, or after life, they too can look up see God and come into the Holy city. I believe that evangelism goes on in heaven until the last weary soul is brought into the Holy City rejoicing. It is at that point that all the Holy city rejoicing with them and heaven itself if complete. The Kingdom has come as we confess each Sunday.
