There is no limit set by the Lord as to the extent of His mighty works in the future. His ability and power to create will be beautifully manifest in the new heavens and the new earth. As we have noted, His words to the first Adam and Eve were be fruitful and multiply. Thus indicating the Lord’s desire for a constant increase of the population of the earth. They were also to have dominion over all other living creatures of the earth. Gen. 1:28.
Likewise the last Adam and His Bride will be fruitful and multiply. The evidence is the woman of Revelation who is with child. Rev. 12:2 The great mystery. I speak concerning Christ and His church. Eph. 5:32 So vital and important is this Bride to the Lord Jesus that He gave Himself for it. Eph. 5:25 He will thoroughly cleans and sanctify her, with the Word. That constant washing which is so necessary for any and all who would partake in the wedding of the ages. Eph. 5:26 His Bride will be spotlessly clean. No blemish, no fault, no weakness, no contamination, nothing whatsoever that even hints of sin or unrighteousness. Eph. 5:27 He knows what He wants for a Bride and will find a people in these last days who will fill the criterion. She will be glorious when she marries Him, for her crown is like the stars, her clothing sun like and her foundation the moon. Rev. 12:1.
Now, Isaiah said; hear ye the Word of the Lord. A message which is directed to those who highly evaluate and reverence the Word of the Lord. In contrast they are discounted by their brethren and cast out because of His name. It is an act of religious persecution for their statement was, let the Lord be glorified. However He will appear to the joy of the persecuted and the shame of the tormenter. Isa. 66:5 A time when the voice of the Lord will be heard from the temple and the city. The birth of the man child is the beginning of the great tribulation. It is a time when the Lord will respond to all the wicked actions perpetrated against Him and His people. Isa. 66:6 The measure of punishment will be determined by the actions of the individual being judged. As there are differences in the glory bestowed upon the resurrected righteous, (1 Cor. 15:45) There will also be variations in the punishment’s meted out to the ungodly. Even the very lightest (if there is such a thing) would be horrible for the judgment will be equal to the evil works of the individual. Isa. 59:18.
