When we are in the midst of trouble, one of the questions we want answered is “when will this end?” If we are ill, we look forward to seeing good health again. If we struggling financially, we try to look to an horizon of relief. If we are experiencing relationship challenges, we hope for reconciliation. We are constantly searching for the future solution to our problems.
Of course, the Bible describes the ultimate end game of troubles. For those who believe in Jesus, the end of this life ushers in the coming of eternity in the presence of God. He promises to bring a new heaven and a new earth, where there will be no more pain, suffering, trouble, or tears.
Unfortunately, those who do not believe in Jesus will have only suffering to look at in eternity. They will be judged guilty for their sins and be eternally separated from God. Just as in life, sometimes more trouble awaits us at the end of current troubles. Those who do not place their trust in Jesus will only find an eternity of troubles awaiting them after this life. But those who put their faith in Jesus will find complete remedy to their earthly problems, in the presence of the Almighty.
Revelation 19:6-7 says, “Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory.'”
Make a decision today to trust Jesus and enjoy an eternity of no more troubles and the fullness of the Lord’s reign.
