Worship Together, December 26
Activities in Heaven
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall
remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your
name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon
to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to
worship before me, saith the Lord.
Isaiah 66:22, 23
In the beginning the Father and the Son had rested upon the Sabbath
after their work of creation. When “the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of them,” the Creator and all heavenly beings
rejoiced in contemplation of the glorious scene. “The morning stars sang
together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.” ...
When there shall be a “restitution of all things, which God hath
spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began,” the
creation Sabbath, the day on which Jesus lay at rest in Joseph’s tomb,
will still be a day of rest and rejoicing. Heaven and earth will unite in
praise, as “from one sabbath to another” the nations of the saved shall
bow in joyful worship to God and the Lamb.
The nations of the saved will know no other law than the law of
heaven. All will be a happy, united family, clothed with the garments
of praise and thanksgiving. Over the scene the morning stars will sing
together, and the sons of God will shout for joy....
“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and
from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me,
saith the Lord.” “The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh
shall see it together.” “The Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring forth before all the nations.” “In that day shall the Lord of hosts
be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue His
people.”
So long as the heavens and the earth endure, the Sabbath will continue
as a sign of the Creator’s power. And when Eden shall bloom on earth
again, God’s holy rest day will be honored by all beneath the sun.
