""This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the Lord. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts...No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me...and I will remember their sins no more""- Jeremiah 31:33-34 (NIV).
Jeremiah was prophesying about God's redemptive covenant; His plan to restore the relationship between His Holy Presence and His sinful children. The first Advent marked the coming of the Savior of the world. Heaven must have held its breath as God's Son was born. His heavenly kingdom remained thus…”heavenly.” I imagine heaven-filled silence at His death, but shouts of joy when He rose and when He ascended back into heaven. It was finished! A second Advent is yet to come. Does there seem to be a silence from heaven right now? Is heaven holding its breath once again? His kingdom will not remain “heavenly” during this Advent, but will accompany Jesus. His Kingdom will come and His entry will certainly not be in silence. Praise the Lord!
