Expanding the millennial vision helps me to prepare for the coming changes. For the church, they won’t be painful yet still massive. Try to get your head around the idea that within a decade or so we will be living in complete spiritual union with our fiancée, Yeshua Messiah.

Judging by Jesus’s priestly prayer before He and His disciples headed down to Gethsemane, it is clear that when the marriage is consummated at the marriage supper of the Lamb we will be one with Him in the same way as He, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are one. John 17 Due to the fact that He was sin free and completely obedient to the Father there is no doubt about that prayer being answered.

As the planet is cleansed and remodeled back toward Eden it’s quite possible that the tilt of the Earth will be changed. There are a couple verses in Isaiah talking about the Earth moving in space—though as usual the Lord is careful to keep those things in faith.

I had just finished a new Autumn graphic. So, as I was contemplating all of this, I asked the Lord the Lord if there would still be seasons in the millennium. To my surprise, He answered with “Yes, David.” I thought a minute and realized that (as often happens) my query was too open-ended. So, I asked, “Four seasons?” I sensed His chuckle.

Expanding the millennial vision helps us know Him better

I got into all of this because I am concerned about the fact that all mountains will be laid low during the final week of years. I’m having a bit of trouble with that because I miss New Mexico. We lived there 25 years and my wife and I both loved the vistas of the mountains as seen from above half the atmosphere with single-digit humidity. But then I realized that it would be good, He’s incredibly creative.

At least the millennium will still be the ecology we know. You know like water-based flesh, blood, and all that lives. In the new creation, I expect radical changes to the physics of existence. I’m convinced that the lack of seas is due to the fact that we’ll be living in a new existence with radical changes to physics, chemistry, biology, and so on. I remember hearing a man I respect in the Lord who had an extensive experience in heaven. He was walking through a glorious field of spectacular flowers.

Then he realized that the flowers were passing through his legs. Turning around he saw that there was no track of damaged plants where he had walked through. If you take that added to the fact that Jesus’ resurrected body seemingly could simply walk through walls, it’s obvious that changes have occurred. I had a tiny revelation a while back. The streets of gold are transparent because our new bodies can see all matter as transparent. But that’s just the speculations of a longtime believer who has seen the Lord do amazing things.

What will we be doing during the millennium and then the new creation?

The Lord knows that we are designed to get deep satisfaction out of doing the work each of us has been designed to do. As a creative, my satisfaction comes by creating things which cause people to reexamine themselves and their relationship with our fiancée.

I put the ball of packed leaves together because at this latitude [44°] the first day of Fall is Labor Day. So, “Happy Autumn!”
