Our Spiritual Awakening: Post #1 “Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the PERFECT comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.”  —1 Corinthians 13:8-12 In the above bible passage, Paul is talking about a time when our limited understandings about God are given a new infusion of understanding. That time is to happen once the “perfect” comes. Then we will fully understand.  Paul continues this theme of spiritual awakening in the following passage: “Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.”  —1 Corinthians 15:51-52 What is this “last trumpet?” In Revelation we are told that the transition of this old world into a new world will be announced with a final trumpet blast:  “Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.'”  —Revelation 11:15 Are we living during this prophesied time of transformation? Considering what is happening with the help of Trump (God's trumpet?), Q and the Great Awakening, it would seem that we are, indeed, living in special times. But if this is true, then where is the “perfect” (Christ) as mentioned by Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:10? Has he already returned? “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: the first heaven and the first earth were passed away...”  —Revelation 21:1 (To be continued.)
