"With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Psalm 91:16.
All the treasures of the universe will be open to the study of God’s redeemed.
Unfettered by mortality, they wing their tireless flight to worlds afar—worlds
that thrilled with sorrow at the spectacle of human woe and rang with songs of
gladness at the tidings of a ransomed soul. With unutterable delight the children
of earth enter into the joy and the wisdom of unfallen beings.
They share
the treasures of knowledge and understanding gained through ages upon ages in
contemplation of God’s handiwork. With undimmed vision they gaze upon the
glory of creation—suns and stars and systems, all in their appointed order circling
the throne of Deity. Upon all things, from the least to the greatest, the Creator’s
name is written, and in all are the riches of His power displayed.
And the years of eternity, as they roll, will bring richer and still more glorious
revelations of God and of Christ.
As knowledge is progressive, so will love,
reverence, and happiness increase. The more men learn of God, the greater will
be their admiration of His character. As Jesus opens before them the riches of
redemption and the amazing achievements in the great controversy with Satan, the
hearts of the ransomed thrill with more fervent devotion, and with more rapturous
joy they sweep the harps of gold; and ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands
of thousands of voices unite to swell the mighty chorus of praise.
“And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth,
and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and
honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the
Lamb for ever and ever.” Revelation 5:13.
The great controversy is ended. Sin and sinners are no more. The entire universe
is clean. One pulse of harmony and gladness beats through the vast creation. From
Him who created all, flow life and light and gladness, throughout the realms of
illimitable space. From the minutest atom to the greatest world, all things, animate
and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is love."
