“…and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him” (Rev 1:7)

At this time in our future we will meet His power and Authority in totality. We will feel the impact of Lordship in fullness. “Every knee will bow.”

But mourning is in this picture. As when a time of grieving is set aside for someone’s death, it appears there will be a time set aside on that cataclysmic day for mourning. We will finally see and understand…

“Because of Him.” We will see the most pure of loves, the most perfect of loves. It will all be clear. Uncoerced, unforced through all time, He simply loved us. He gave to us out of pain in His own love.

Why the mourning? Because of Him. We will see all the blemishes piled onto this free, sincere gift and this kind Lord. It seems before anyone receives the wrath for denying, they will sorrow, and sorrow greatly! They will face their absolute personal Loss of life, stunned by their ability to make such a Bad Choice to such love.

“All the peoples of the earth will mourn…” This appears to be the experience of ALL, even the believer. If not all taste of wrath, all will taste of this mourning. We will universally mourn for our ill treatment of the Son of God most fair and pure.

Might we now appreciate Him? Can we at least render service in accepting that He loves us? Can we at least open up our tender affections toward Him…because of Him?
