Can we know or comprehend what we will be in eternity?
Scripture says it doth not yet appear what we shall be; the eternal future cannot be comprehended now. Yet this much is known: when the Lord Jesus Christ appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
Les explains that believers are now the sons or children of God—not hoping or thinking they might be. The world does not know us because it did not know the Lord Jesus. He points out that it does not yet appear what we shall be; we cannot comprehend that eternal future. But this much we know: when Christ shall appear—and He is coming—we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. Les also contrasts the world's idea that the United Nations and other efforts will solve all problems and keep going forever with the certainty that there will be no peace on earth until the Prince of Peace comes. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem is essentially praying for the Lord's coming, because Jerusalem will have no peace until the Prince of Peace is back in Jerusalem.
