The Best is Yet to Come

For those of us living in a generation plagued by fear, these are truly wonderful words: Jesus has "kept the best until now."

The best is here now, and it is unfolding as long as every moment is still "now," so the best is yet to come!

We see this in Haggai 2:9, where the Lord declares to a devastated people that the glory of the latter temple would be greater than the prior. We know that prophetic word was ultimately not just about a physical building, but about the house of God. In John 2:19-22, when Jesus told the Jews to tear down the temple and he would rebuild it in three days, he wasn't referring to a physical building, he was referring to his own body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Haggai's word is fulfilled not just in the individual believer's body becoming "the temple of the Holy Spirit,"but also in the mature corporate Church of Jesus Christ expressing him gloriously and fully in the earth (Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22).

Therefore Jesus is not coming back for a wretched remnant––the glory of the latter Temple mustexceed the prior, so Jesus is only coming back when his Church is victorious and glorious.

That's why I can say with confidence when the rest of the world is in panic and distress: the best is yet to come!
