day no. 16,147: where the mountains drip with wine

Amos 9:13-15

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD,

“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper

and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;

the mountains shall drip sweet wine,

and all the hills shall flow with it.

I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,

and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;

they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,

and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit. 

I will plant them on their land,

and they shall never again be uprooted

out of the land that I have given them,”

says the LORD your God.

The meek shall inherit mountains that drip sweet wine. The faithful shall find themselves surrounded by hills that flow with fermented fluid. Christians will have their cities restored. Christians will have their best refined by fire for the better. Whatever good we retain will only be made better. Whatever bad we couldn't seem to vanquish will eventually be eliminated completely.

The future is Christian.

In that land, flowing with mountains of milk, hills of honey, and wine like water, we shall be planted and never removed. We will be rooted as permanent fixtures in the place of never-ending joy and pleasure.

All that to say, the future is a feast in a world without end. And Amen!
