323 - A Way Forward, Part 2 of 7
原作者： Jonathan S. Rose
Title: A Way Forward, Part 2
Topic: Second Coming
Summary: An important first stage in moving from hell to heaven, whether individually or as a cultrure, is to cry out to the Lord, even if we seemingly get no response. That is actually the Lord planting and building a desire in our hearts for something better than our current situation. This desire is a gift-much needed fuel for out journey.

Vine shall give her fruit, and the ground her increase
In Zechariah 8:12, 'the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground her increase,' signifies that the spiritual affection of truth produces the good of charity, and the natural affection of good and truth produces the works of charity.
