There Will Be Peace On Earth, And Goodwill To All

 As members of the Church, we are watching and waiting for Christ to return to take His redeemed saints to heaven which will happen at least seven years before He breaks through the clouds, riding a white horse, with his vestments dripping with the blood of His defeated enemies. On that day, every eye will see Him and every tongue will confess Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
 Today, the members of Christ's Body are a spiritual Temple whom the Lord is using to forward His redemptive plans and purposes. We are reminded by Paul that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in us. The Church today is the Temple of God, made from living stone, and the Spirit of God dwells in our mortal bodies. We have this treasure in clay vessels, so that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
 However, a day is coming when Christ will return in power and great glory and enter the future, Millennial Temple, when the latter glory of God's House will be greater than the former, There Will Be Peace On Earth, And Goodwill To All.
Haggai 2:9 ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of hosts.”

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are in control of history and that the day is coming when Christ will return to earth in power and great glory to set up His kingdom, rebuild His Temple, and bring peace and prosperity to all. Thank You that during this Church age, while Israel has been set aside for a season, You are using the Church as a living Temple and have commissioned the Body of Christ to be Your ministers of reconciliation. Thank You that Your plan of redemption continues to unfold, and that the day is coming when Christ will rule and reign  and the earth will be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Praise Your holy name! AMEN.
