We
see for ourselves and know the seasons and what they portend. In the
same way, Jesus says, we shall know when the Kingdom of God is at
hand. (see Luke 21:31)
This
raises a couple of questions: How shall we know, and, what is the
Kingdom of God?
First,
we shall and can only KNOW according to the mode and manner God wills
for us. That is, according to His grace and our acceptance of His
grace. It is up to God as to how and what we shall know. It is up to
us to prepare to know -- to listen, to pray and to respond.
Secondly,
the Kingdom of God is known and yet unknown. It was engraved in the
memory of our primordial selves -- in the mind, in the heart of God
before all things came to be, and it calls us back -- back to the
Kingdom of our origin, back home to God Himself.
So
don’t be worried; don’t try to assign words to the unfathomable,
to things we can’t explain. What God designed from the beginning
will be accomplished whether we can explain it or not, even whether
we believe it or not!
