Malachi 1:11

My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the sun. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to my name, because my name will be great among the nations," says the LORD Almighty. Reading the New Testament about the Returning of Christ, Jesus' disciples knew that one day the Messiah would establish a glorious, visible kingdom established on earth, that the world would be the way God wanted it to be. They looked forward to the fulfillment of Malachi 1:11 prophecy. Today, we are living in the church age which I call members of the invisible Church (Spiritual). Meaning God is gathering all the people who will be a part of the body of Christ. When the completeness of the church age has come, the church will be taken out of the world (1 Thess. 4:17). If Christ were to call us right now, every believer would be taken up into heaven. And on the way up there, our lowly bodies would be transformed into glorious bodies like that of the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil. 3:21). When Christ came the first time, in John 1:11 said "He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him." The Second Coming of Christ, in 2 Timothy 2:19 says: "Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: 'The Lord knows those who are his'." When Christ returns, He knows who are HIS and He will take us home with Him.
