Revelation: What Was, What Is, What is To Come

A few days ago Vanessa and I were looking through our journals and realized that the insight God had been showing us each day related to three time periods--what was, what is, and what is to come.  That is, all three relations to our present time were revealed each day.  I've been making daily encouragement notecards for Vanessa by asking The Lord to give me insight on her behalf, and He often speaks through visions.  We realized while looking at these past cards that I received three visions most days.  The first typically addressed the past, the second the present, and the third, typically the future.

All time's events and all creation points to God's Son Jesus.  The first vision received was usually a look into the past that revealed God's faithfulness and guidance despite our mistakes .  The second vision was more of an in time navigational command, giving insight into what had been on Vanessa's heart that morning.  In this way God confirms the meditations she's had by Him in the morning, and our faith is built .  Praise God for being timely, and powerful enough to call us to live in the moment!

The third vision often related to a future promise of God.  It gave hope for the future, and insight into what that future God-shaped pathway might birth.  These third visions all revealed "in part", and bring us closer to fulfilling our calling and seeing face to face (1 Corinthians 13:9).

God come to us where we are at, and accommodates our conception of time.  He goes back for us, so that we can remember Him, He lives in us, so that we can live for Jesus, and He anticipates ahead in time for us, so that His Son can find faith on the earth when He returns (Luke 18:8).

All three visions testified to Jesus, and they were alao prophetic because they gave God-inspired insight.  We need to take on God's view of time, and know that Jesus is the beginning and the end.  We should ask God for insight into His promises, hope to accept them and faith to move into them.  We should believe Him when He said, "It is finished" (John 19:30).  Let's be conscious of the beauty in both God's timeliness and timelessness.
