Zechariah 14:6-7
On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light.
Tag: God Will Alter Creation as We Know It!
Throughout the prophet Zechariah’s prophecy we see much about a day when something is going to happen. It might be the discipline of Israel and Judah; the destruction of their enemies; or, as above, a future time when God will reign supreme. In the above passage we have an example (as well all of chapter 14) of the future reign of God. God has established in his plan a time when the entire creation, as we know it, that will be changed. For instances, let’s take the snow. Right now we know that God has the snow stored up to let it fly over the earth. God says to Job:
Job 38:22-23
“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war?
Yet, the prophet Zachariah tells of a time in the future when “cold” and “frost” will be done away with. As this devotional is written it is November 16, 2018. Last night the first winter cold air and snow blast came into the region. Nasty!! Way to early!! Yet, there will be a time when God will remove the cold and the frost. There will be a time when God so alerts creation we will not recognize it. Right now Paul tells us that creation “groans” for redemption (Romans 8). The earth, itself, groans under the destruction of “weather.” God is going to repair all of earth as He makes it holy by His presence and rule.. We have a great time to rejoice in God’s ultimate Sovereign Rule!! God says the cold and frost will be done away with. Yes! That is something to rejoice about.
