Avenging Shame and Restoring God’s Kingdom

God’s people have a wonderful hope.

After his resurrection, Christ ascended to God the Father. God’s children await Christ’s return from heaven, God’s throne room.

All who are in Christ are glorified with him. They will receive resurrected bodies, made into the likeness of Christ. The human family, once estranged, will be reconciled. The entire world will dearly love one another with all sincerity.

God through Jesus will ultimately defeat his enemies, especially death. He will condemn those who will not give their allegiance to him. In this way, the Father-King will wipe away the disgrace and injustice that his people have suffered.

Our Creator-King will make a new heaven and new earth. According to his original plan and promises, he remakes the world to be the Temple in which he dwells with humanity. Every tribe and nation will become a universal brotherhood.

God restores harmony. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).

The Creator-King truly has face!
