Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed, for the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and His glory will be before His elders. – Isaiah 24:23
The sun will be ashamed at the glory of the Lord, so marvelous will it be. Is the sun not that which illumines and colors everything we see? So then will everything on which our eyes fall not be a thousand times more beautiful in the light of God’s glory – will there not be myriad pleasures and discoveries and little marvels everywhere in Zion, each one giving glory to God through its very visibility and vibrancy? Sight itself will be remade, for there will be a new and greater “electromagnetic spectrum” there, which would make ours here seem like black and white – or perhaps just black. I think if we say that we will all be only staring at the Throne for eternity is quite a narrow view of the beauty of the Lord. He makes everything glorious. Oh I long for that day, when my eyes will at last be opened to gasp and stagger and laugh and shout in the streets of Zion, “the perfection of beauty,” where the Beautiful One reigns!
