1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,080
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839
vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,

9
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,079
author speaker, Elle David Harris.

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Friday, May two,

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,840
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El David Harris.

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,479
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,679
where we give you God's word every single day, and

14
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:50,320
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lesson

15
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:55,320
study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our caption

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,560
for today is the Eternal Kingdom. The Eternal Kingdom. We'll

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,399
get into that in just a moment, but first I'd

18
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:06,159
like to say welcome to everyone joining us, especially those

19
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:08,799

00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,640
This is the Life Application Guide. You can see it

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,760
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

27
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:38,319
Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,359
Father and Heaven, thank you for giving us this new

29
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,879
morning and for the privilege of this time, this day

30
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,200
of preparation. Please prepare our hearts today for your coming.

31
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:55,120
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen and a man again.

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,640
I want to give you a newsflash. Really, it doesn't

33
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,560
come on the news media almost at all. Yeah, evil

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,199
must end. I want you to let that settle in.

35
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,120
You're listening on the radio, you are online, you're listening

36
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:18,840
on a podcast. Evil must end. Yeah. And if I

37
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,599
ended right here and then gave you the method of

38
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,439
this evil ending in Christ, then we will have done

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,840
our job. But let's go ahead and read today. We're

40
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:31,400
going to read today. And by the way, we're going

41
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:36,159
to use the relationship development perspective from page one hundred

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,599
in our Life Application Guide after we go through these quotes. Okay,

43
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,919
and so the quote is coming in from the book

44
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,879
The Great Controversy, page six hundred and seventy four. The

45
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,080
Great Controversy, page six hundred seventy four, and it reads,

46
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,280
I saw a new heaven and a new Earth, not

47
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:01,960
the one that we're familiar with, the new heaven and

48
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,560
the new Earth. For the first heaven and the first

49
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:07,759
Earth were passed away. That's from Revelation chapter twenty one

50
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:14,680
and verse one. The fire that consumes the wicked purifies

51
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:18,360
the earth. So let me share something with you. There

52
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,039
are times that people say that this is not our home,

53
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,520
and I understand what we mean by it. But sometimes

54
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:30,960
we assign heaven as our new permanent address. But quite frankly,

55
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,080
the Bible teaches us that when Jesus returns and he

56
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,639
takes his people to Heaven, will stay there for one

57
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,199
thousand years. In a thousand years only now. I know

58
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:44,639
that sounds like a long time to us now because

59
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:48,840
our time is so limited, But in the grand expanse

60
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,719
of eternity, that's not a lot of time. So for

61
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,479
one thousand years we will be in heaven. But then

62
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:57,919
the Bible says, according to Matthew chapter five, that the

63
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,879
meek will inherit the earth, the earth made new will

64
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,560
be our final home, our home, okay, And so God

65
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,840
is going to purify at that time the earth, every

66
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:15,639
trace of the curse is swept away. Are you looking

67
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:19,839
forward to the day that every curse, every trace of sin,

68
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:23,040
everything that is reminding us of sin. We're going to

69
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:27,399
talk about one exception. Here's passed away. Well we continue,

70
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:34,040
No eternally burning hell will keep before the ransomed the

71
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,000
fearful consequences of sin. So for those of you who

72
00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:40,519
have been taught and trained in churches and otherwise, that

73
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:44,680
the fire will literally be burning forever and ever. The

74
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,399
Bible teaches us that the wickedness will be destroyed, root

75
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,639
and branch, and so what kind of God would would

76
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,360
torture people eternally? Come on, now, let's just be honest

77
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:02,439
about the character of God. So, no eternally burning hell

78
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,720
will keep before the ransomed the fearful consequences of sin.

79
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,959
I told you about an exception. Here's this exception. One

80
00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:15,519
reminder alone remains. And you're curious, like, what is that reminder?

81
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,639
The reminder is that our redeemer will ever bear the

82
00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:25,800
marks of his crucifixion. He will ever bear those marks

83
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:29,959
upon his wounded head, upon his side his hands and

84
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,319
feet are the only traces of the kruel work that

85
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,759
sin has wrought, says the prophet beholding Christ in his glory.

86
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,079
He had bright beams coming out of his side, and

87
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,399
there was the hiding of his power in Habakkuk chapter

88
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,399
three and verse four, type of one in the chat.

89
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:53,160
If you've ever read that passage in Habakkuk, this is encouraging.

90
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,519
And so I will say that the one reminder about

91
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,920
the fact that sin existed is one that is related

92
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,560
to love, not foreboding, not fearfulness, not this is the consequence.

93
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:10,279
And look at these consequences. And if you mess up again,

94
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:13,160
this is where you're going. Nothing like that. The one

95
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,199
reminder is one of love. Let me continue the quote

96
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:23,240
that pierced side whence flowed the crimson crimson stream that

97
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,879
reconciled humankind to God. There is the Savior's glory. There

98
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,639
the hiding of his power mighty to save through the

99
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,720
sacrifice of redemption. He was therefore strong to execute justice

100
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,360
upon them that despised his mercy. And the tokens of

101
00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:47,839
his humiliation are the highest honor, his highest honor through

102
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:52,600
the eternal ages. The wounds of Calvary will show forth

103
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,279
his praise and declare his power. So Jesus stands throughout

104
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,519
all ages and eternity. He stands as the one who

105
00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:07,959
was able to conquer sin on Sin's turf. On planet Earth,

106
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:12,439
Jesus will stand as a stark reminder of the power

107
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,199
of love. Let me just say to somebody who feels

108
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,600
like you are in a situation where your ability or

109
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:23,160
quote power to sin is greater than God's power to

110
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,639
deliver you from sin. You see, Love lifted us when

111
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,279
nothing else would help. The hymn writer wrote, love lifted me, hallelujah.

112
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,160
Love lifted me. Love lifted me when nothing else could help.

113
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,240
Love lifted me. And we'll have that reminder in the

114
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,720
person of Jesus Christ throughout eternity. And so now we

115
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:53,480
go to our Life Application Guide page one hundred, and

116
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,120
we go to the relationship's application and we use the

117
00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:02,000
acronym WIN for the W the W what is important now?

118
00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:05,319
And hopefully you all are using this Life Application Guide

119
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,120
in your churches and in small groups that you host

120
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,759
for study of the Saba School quarterly W What is

121
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:18,639
important now? Eternal life isn't just a personal hope. You

122
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:22,040
understand this is not about just us. It's a promise

123
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,199
to be shared. Our relationships should reflect God's love, drawing

124
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:34,000
others into the joy of His salvation. Sometimes people are

125
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,159
drawing people into the fear of judgment, the fear of

126
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,519
being destroyed. That is not The goal is to draw

127
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,039
others into the joy of His salvation. Let's internalize the insight.

128
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,840
I consider how you can help others find comfort and

129
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:54,320
the promise of the new Earth. Remember that's our eternal home.

130
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,960
At the appropriate time, who in your life needs reassurance?

131
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,039
I need you to write a list of these people

132
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:05,799
who needs reassurance that God's justice and mercy will prevail.

133
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:12,200
And then the next best move in be intentional in

134
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,200
sharing this hope. This is why I said, write a

135
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:17,000
list of the people who need this reassurance. For example,

136
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,639
remind a friend or a loved one who is struggling

137
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:25,519
that suffering is temporary and that God has promised a

138
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:32,440
world free of pain and sorrow. See Properly positioned hope

139
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,600
is one of the most powerful mindset shifts that we

140
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,559
can ever experience. So give people hope. Yeah, make it

141
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,279
a great day. We'll see you in the Sabbath.

142
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: Peace thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we

143
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:51,240
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

144
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,279
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

145
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,279
daily portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
