Waiting for good things to happen in this life, or waiting for exciting prophecy to be fulfilled, is a literal drag. It's like we're being slowly pulled through the mud of time. This is why a fruit of the spirit is patience. The better we are able to endure waiting for something, the more joyful we will be.
Will we need patience after being made immortal?
That's a tough question. I say, "no." The need for patience implies a potential for anxiety. Will anxiety even exist for a perfected saint? Again I say, "no." Even in this life our apostle tells us, "Be anxious for nothing" (Philippians 4:6). Anxiety is clearly negative. Being such, it has no place
in a world of perfected understanding.
In this edition of MZTV, I consider how this works during the millennium between our snatching away and the Great White Throne Judgment, when many of our loved ones will still be dead ("...the dead do not live until the thousand years are finished," —Revelation 20:5.) Will their absence affect us then as it does
now?
