Thoughts on Fireworks, Aliens and What's Going On Up There

We have just celebrated the 4th of July, and it is likely that most of us have seen a firecracker or two lighting up the sky. What a wonder this is. I don't know if you're a believer in UFOs, aliens, and whatever else is out there; however, I feel that something BIG is happening in the "heavenlies" -- something bigger than the most fantastic of fireworks.

John 15:19 reads, If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; as it is you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.... Jesus was speaking to his disciples, but are we not, too, his disciples?

In another verse from John18:36, we read, Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.

In the Lord's prayer, we express, Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.....  (think about this one)

Where exactly are these heavenly places, His Kingdom, and what is happening there? There's a lot we don't know or understand. I believe, however, that things are happening in heavenly places and have been happening since the beginning of this thing we call time.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts.... Luke 2:13

Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands... Revelation 5:11

Our Creator God, the Ancient of Days, the I Am Who I Am would not be content twiddling his thumbs....Talk about fireworks! Just imagine....
