I have for a long time, been intrigued by the word ‘rest,’
and how it is used in the scriptures. As simple as the word is I am especially interested
in its use having to do with things celestial … tiny glimpse into heaven. Today’s
scripture is an excellent example of that.
“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the
altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the
testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice saying How long O
Lord, holy and true, doest thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that
dwell on the earth?
“And white robes were given unto every one of them, and it
was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season until their
fellow servants also and their brethren that should be killed as they were
should be fulfilled.” (Revelations 7: 9-11)
How impatience I am sometimes, but these souls have waited
so much longer than my span of time on the earth. All things in the Lord’s time
or all is for naught.
