Brothers & sisters - I am listening to this (link below) and well frankly can barely contain myself. I want to come out of my skin! and wanted to just share my overwhelming excitement and joyous expectation with you all. You all have been absolutely awesome and I look forward to seeing you all and worshipping our KING SOON!!!!!
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

You all have been absolutely awesome and I look forward to seeing you all and worshipping our KING SOON!!!!! I know. I know! I know!!! I just got caught laughing out loud for no reason. Only this time, I didn't even notice I did it until my wife said, "What?" I'm like, "Everything I've been saying for the last year!" It's bubbling out of me. |

Love that song. I changed my ringtone to "Home" by Chris Tomlin. I don't get many phone calls, but it's fun when I do.  We are going home soon! |

@silentknight that's great!!!
The worship music is making me...my spirit want to go! I really have little left to say anymore. Although I love conversing with you and everyone else, & reading the great, deep truth articles Gary, Jeff, Brad, you and others (I know I'll forget somebody) have been providing, I (almost) don't even care about any of it. My insides are about to burst! Is this how the apostles felt after Pentecost (maybe not quite there yet)

I'm just longing to be with all of you! |

@silentknight...scary thing is I'm not really an emotional guy, steady Eddie, even keel, (a.k.a. boring, LOL). Talking to HIM I cry almost every morning driving to work the last several months. Sometimes right here at my desk too. Not good for a tough guy like me |

Not sure if this is the place to put this - but - I am so blessed to have found this group of believers. The Lord has provided you to me as a pure gift. I just wanted to make sure to say thank-you again - to each of you, while still on this side of redemption!
Oh, and happy soon to be birthday!
Love you all.

Here is a favorite version of this song. It is long, but listen to the end, there is an added song at the end. It is so awesome, because 5 months ago the Lord woke me in the middle of the night with the words - Arise! Shine!. It has been my theme for this time in the life of my family.
He then shows me the Emmanuel truth. Then I find this version of the song, with the added song at the end. Too perfect - who could not love our Jesus?
Keeping in mind that this prophecy - though seemingly fulfilled in the modern nation of Israel is actually completed in the true Israel of the spirit. Praise Him and Glory to His Name!
[Isa 60:1-22 KJV] 1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at [thy] side. 5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. 8 Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? 9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought. 12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted. 13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. 14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. 17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. 18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 21 Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

Reminds me of Christmas (of course) so serene. the Prince of Peace is coming
Our peace but judgment for the unrighteous. There's still a sliver of time for those who have rejected
