"Tasting of the world to come ..."


Shalom all dear doves,
 

Might we even *now* TASTE of the age to come ?

One does NOT have to know everything to know something ...  and thus
at present, scripture teaches, that we all, can only know in part.

But we can know, for sure, some things ... and scripture does teach
that we can know that we have come to know Him.
 

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that
trusteth in him. Ps 34:8

... I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart
from me. Jer 32:40

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to
come Heb 6:5

... be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye
have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Heb
13:5

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the
end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of
Jesus Christ; 1 Pe 1:13
 

Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven
them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will
bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell
safely:

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for
ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not
turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their
hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them
in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil
upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have
promised them.

And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is
desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the
Chaldeans.

Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal
them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places
about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the
mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the
south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD. Jer
32:37-44
