His Salvation Is Forever

"Lift up your eyes unto the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished."  Isaiah 51:6.  Time and earth shall one day be no more.  As smoke is quickly gone, so will the heavens and the earth be gone.  All of those who dwell upon the earth will die and be no more.  As our garments become old and worn, the earth will become old.  The material universe shall vanish, but God and His plans shall stand. Isaiah, the prophet, is speaking of a time when a reformation will come.  God will bring an eternal salvation to all through Jesus Christ.  Though times change and death comes, the salvation in Jesus Christ will stand strong and lasting.  Happiness found in the things of this world will turn to sadness.  Hope found in this world will decay into hopelessness.  Unto those who find happiness and peace in the righteousness of God will forever know it even when time and earth are no more.
