Today’s Thought “Bound for Heaven: A Colorless Society” G. Ward Revelation 7: 9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all the tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; 10 and they *cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” Sinful men bombard many with what is deficient in their lives, seeking to present ideas seemingly so once unattainable, become readily perceived, even leading them thereafter in a quest unsanctioned and divisive. It’s comparable to imposing an inconspicuous harlotry (cf.2 Cor.10:3-6). We’re bombarded with ideologies, dressed up as true religion, even that to which pervades introducing a foreign translation (with insistence unto those they deceive), to refer to Jesus’ name by His Hebrew regard. As Shakespeare said, “That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet” (Romeo and Juliet, II:i). Holy God’s purpose for Israel never altered (*Isa.49:6 He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the protected ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations so that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”). We’re given the Word of God for greatest benefit in earth onto heaven, not to hoard it because we’re a purple people…
