Look at these office managers and group leaders.[1]·Each
has a private phone to speak personally with the king. Sometimes they go
directly to his presence. All of them say that the king has prepared a
magnificent and awesome place for reward and punishment. His promises are
emphatic, and his threats are stern. His pride and dignity do not allow him to
suffer the humiliation inherent in breaking a promise.
The bearers of this report, who are so numerous as to be universally accepted,
unanimously report that the seat and headquarters of the lofty kingdom, some of
whose traces are visible here, are located in another realm far from here. The
buildings here are temporary and soon will be exchanged for eternal palaces.
This world will change, for that magnificent and unfading kingdom, the splendor
of which is apparent from its works, cannot be founded or based on something
transient, impermanent, unstable, insignificant, changing, defective, and
imperfect. It can be based only on matters worthy of it, and which are eternal,
stable, permanent, and glorious. Thus there is another realm toward which we are
heading.
[1] The indicated meanings
can be found in the Eight Truth. For example, we use office managers
and group leaders for Prophets and saints, and phone for a link and
relation with God that goes forth from the heart, and is Revelation’s
mirror and inspiration’s receptacle. The heart is like the telephone’s
ear-piece.
