All Will Worship on the Sabbath Day, December 30

Eye Hath Not Seen nor Ear Heard

And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 66:23.WGD 366.1

Fellow pilgrim, we are still amid the shadows and turmoil of earthly activities; but soon our Saviour is to appear to bring deliverance and rest. Let us by faith behold the blessed hereafter, as pictured by the hand of God. He who died for the sins of the world, is opening wide the gates of Paradise to all who believe on Him. Soon the battle will have been fought, the victory won. Soon we shall see Him in whom our hopes of eternal life are centered. And in His presence the trials and sufferings of this life will seem as nothingness. The former things “shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” ...WGD 366.2

The nations of the saved will know no other law than the law of heaven. All will be a happy, united family, clothed with the garments of praise and thanksgiving. Over the scene the morning stars will sing together, and the sons of God will shout for joy, while God and Christ will unite in proclaiming, “There shall be no more sin, neither shall there be any more death.”—Prophets and Kings, 731, 732.WGD 366.3

In the beginning the Father and the Son had rested upon the Sabbath after their work of creation.... When there shall be a “restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began,” the creation Sabbath, the day on which Jesus lay at rest in Joseph’s tomb, will still be a day of rest and rejoicing.WGD 366.4

Heaven and earth will unite in praise as “from one Sabbath to another,” the nations of the saved shall bow in joyful worship to God and the Lamb.—The Desire of Ages, 769.WGD 366.5
