"They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain."- Isaiah 11:9
Through healing of illnesses and casting out demons, Jesus and the apostles illustrated the coming time when all illness will be healed, and tears wiped from every face. God sometimes used the word mountain to picture a kingdom. This scripture refers to the kingdom of Christ as a holy mountain. Revelation 21:4

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. (Matthew 4:7)
TEMPTATIONS continually assail the Lord's people--suggestions to do some wonderful works in His name, and to thus prove to themselves and to others that they are heaven's favorites. The lesson for us to learn is that the work which the Father has given us to do is not a work of convincing the world or of showing His favor toward us and our greatness in Him, but rather that we should quietly and humbly, yet as effectively as reason and propriety will permit, let our lights shine, and show forth the praises of Him who hath called us from darkness into His marvelous light, and from a desire to be wonder-workers to the reasonable position of servants, ministers of the Truth.

I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:3
LET us, dear brethren, keep well before our minds the Master's promised return, and now in the time of his parousia (invisible presence) let it have its full weight and influence upon our every word and act; yea, upon our very thoughts. Let us hope that we shall soon experience our resurrection change, and be made like our dear Redeemer, and see him as he is, and share his glory in the great epiphania, or shining forth of the sons of God in the glory of the kingdom, enthuse us--let this energize our hearts, loose our lips, and strengthen us for every duty, privilege, and opportunity-- to serve our Master and the household of faith. If this hope has been an anchor to the Lord's people for so many centuries, how much more does it mean to us who are living now in the very time of his presence, waiting for his apokalupsis--his revealing in the glory of the kingdom.
