David & Cyril Tagteam - Revelation 22

“The idea of having joy because we will rule with God? Now I want you to remember, this isn't a reigning of a tyrant. This is a reigning of people of peace and the earth itself, rest assured, the earth itself is very excited when the people of God will finally take charge of creation. Paul tells us in Romans, 8, 18, says, I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation, it waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it in hope. … The earth waits for the people of peace, the earth groans to have some people with some sense of duty, some sense of the awesomeness of God, some sense of what it means to actually be human and in touch with the earth to finally be with God in control. You see, our freedom equals earth's freedom. The earth will be renewed, it says, the curse will be removed, and there we will, for once, see humanity. That's us glorified in operating according to the original blueprints of the Garden of Eden. The earth eagerly awaits our awakening. It groans and it moans for the day that we are honed into what God wanted grown when the seeds of humanity were first sown, and this is our hope, but the story that we're watching unfold before us, although it seems like a tragedy, it's actually a comedy.”
