whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.. Acts 3:21

We are living the period of restoration of all things, both of the salvation of men and of the things we have not even heard of. Undoubtedly, in eternity, this will be shown to us in detail. The covered things belong to the Lord, and we cannot take part of them or have news of them, otherwise we may be disturbed or insist on asking God to do this or that way. When the Savior comes and breaks the earth and the heavens, we will know these things.

Christ will come as Judge, with power and great glory, to exterminate every trace of wickedness. However, until the restoration times are over, this will not take place. The glory of God is so great and powerful, that it is defined, in the Bible, as a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). If the coming of the Lord happens before all things are repaired, much will be lost, for the fire will destroy what exists.

The Most High is perfect and complete in Himself and that is why His work will be finished with perfection. Then, Heaven will no longer contain the Savior. The Word describes the time when God will restore all things. Wickedness will increase long before the second coming of Christ. We will see the wicked make up and speak things even against the Lord, for he who is filthy, let him be filthy still Revelations 22:11).

Even in our midst, we will see scandals that we thought were impossible to happen, but, as Jesus warned, they will be inevitable (Luke 17: 1). Such uncontrolled acts, which will surprise even the chosen ones, are not the works of man, but of the devil. Whoever gives in to the evil one, causing problems to the work of God, will pay a very high price. Staying alert and praying are the best things one can do not to be condemned.

It is good to be faithful unto death, for in the end whoever resists in order not to dishonor the Lord will receive the crown of life (Revelation 2:10). But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8). It is worth fleeing from temptations by faithfully following the Scriptures. Halleluiah!

All the prophecies of the Bible will be fulfilled. Strive to remain in the Narrow Gate, without entering through the wide gate (Matthew 7:13). If you take the wrong path, you will taste the second death – the eternal separation from God. Do what you need to do in order not to get lost; stay away even from friendships that could lead you to perdition. It is better to walk in eternal life crippled, blind and one-handed than to suffer eternally.

On the other hand, do not miss the opportunities given by the Lord to do something for His Kingdom because your reward will be enormous. See what Daniel prophesied in this regard: Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12:3).

In Christ, with love,
