After the rebellious nations are destroyed, the glorious kingdom

of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is introduced.

Features of that period include increased fertility of the land & the

personal presence of the Lord in glory & excellence.

There will be mutual encouragement among the saints.

Every type of disability will be removed & great rejoicing will celebrate

the transformation of the desert into well-irrigated fields.

The hundreds of miles of desert route from exile back to Jerusalem will become

a “Highway of Holiness,” exclusive to God’s believers

The return of Israel from worldwide dispersion prepictures

the joy & gladness that will accompany the translation of believers

to the Father’s house when Jesus comes again.

A. J. Gordon’s adapted this verse for a hymns:

I shall see the King in His beauty,

In the land that is far away,

When the shadows at length have lifted,

And the darkness has turned to day.

I shall see Him in the glory,

The Lamb that once was slain;

How I’ll then resound the story

With all the ransomed train!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah!

To the Lamb that once was slain;

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Even so come Lord Jesus

Even so come!!!
