Finding Out Who We Are

Finding Out Who We Are

by Robert B. Thompson
I have been writing quite a bit lately about the rest of God, mentioned in the fourth chapter of the Book of Hebrews. The idea of the rest of God is founded on the fact that God created everything in six days, and then rested. We are exhorted to cease from our own work and enter God's rest.
Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger,‘They shall never enter my rest.’” And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. (Hebrew 4:3)
For anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. (Hebrews 4:10)
When it says "His work has been finished since the creation of the world," it means all people and all things forever. This is a staggering thought; but God is God!
The larger picture is this: God, in response to the rebellion of Satan and his angels, is creating a kingdom. People are born, live, and die. (I think this includes people who were conceived even if they did not come to full birth.)
God knows every single one of these people, from the time of Adam and Eve. When each one dies, he or she is appointed a place in the spirit world, where he or she is to the present hour.
