Sing praise to the Lord, for He has done excellent things, gloriously; let this be made known to all the earth. Cry aloud & shout joyfully, you women & inhabitants of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy one of Israel.
Isaiah 12:5-6
This chapter of Isaiah is prophetic about the second coming of the Lord. The chapter starts with the words “And in that day you will say”, the day it is talking about is when Jesus returns to claim His bride.
Great in our midst! That’s something worth shouting about. In the new Heaven and new Earth, we will live with Christ on the New Earth and He will be in our midst.
Revelation 21:3 “Then I heard a mighty voice from the throne…See! The abode of God is with me and He will live, encamp, tent, among them; and they shall be His people, and God shall personally be with them and be their God.”
Can you close your eyes for a moment and let that soak in. No more wondering where God is, no more praying for revival or a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. EVERY MOMENT we will be in the presence of God.
We are inhabitants of Zion, the new earth. Don’t forget He is coming back and this is not our home. Now that’s something to sing a Hallelujah about!
