“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:18)
The Greek word used here for ‘revealed’ is ‘apokalypto’ – it is where we get the term ‘apocalypse’. Paul is reminding us that there is a day coming in which all God’s plans will be disclosed… where the actual purpose of our lives will be uncovered and the eternal destiny of all will be unveiled.
This day is actively drawing nearer. The plans are in action now, and God is currently working in the world, leading all of human history toward the day in which all the suffering, toil, pain, and heartache will be revealed as nothing in light of the glory of His eternal plans. Each day, each second draws us nearer to that ultimate moment.
Come, Lord Jesus.
