When I was young, I did not want Jesus Christ returning on my watch. The older I get, the more I wish He'd come back and tell the whole family that He's got a place prepared for us in His father's house, and we don't need to pack a thing.
I’m 41 and I got saved when I was 20. The Lord needs overcomers and these overcomers are also the bride of Christ. They are dear and near to Him. They are the firstfruits. They are the stone in Daniel that crushes the great image which represents human government.
The next age is not the end of the world, it’s the end of this age and a new age begins.
When Noah got into the ark, that ended an age. When Noah exited the ark, a new age had begun. It is a type ans shadow of the Church as the ark, the vessel that can bring you into the next age as an overcomer.
