I Corinthians 15:25-28
For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The
last enemy that will be abolished is death. For He has put all things in
subjection under His feet. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection,"
it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. And when
all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be
subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, that God may be
all in all.

There is an order to God’s plan of reconciliation of the creation back to Himself.
“Blessed and holy are those who attain to the first resurrection.” Truly it will be said, “Many
were called, but few were chosen.” If you are a son of God, the opportunity is set before you
to attain to the number of the firstborn. Will you live in such a way that you might be
chosen, or will you be assigned a portion with the wicked?

Matthew 24:48-51
But if that evil servant says in his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,' and
begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the
master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an
hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion
with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Yahweh is calling out to His sons in this hour to remove all unrighteousness from their
lives. He is calling out to all who have ears to pursue Him with an undivided heart. The path
is difficult. There are sorrows and trials that all the righteous must pass through. Yet we are
given the following promise:

Psalms 30:5
Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning.

We stand close to the morning of the third day. It will be a time of unparalleled joy for
a company of overcomers. These have known much of sorrow and difficulty, and their
Father in heaven will not be stinting in their reward. He will wipe away every tear from their
eyes, and there will no longer be any mourning or crying or pain. The first things will have
passed away.
