Denn wir haben hie keine bleibende Statt
Johannes Brahms
For We Have No Lasting City Here
For we have no lasting city here
but we seek the one to come.
(Hebrews 13:14)
Look, I tell you a secret:
We will not all fall asleep,
but we will all be changed;
and in an instant, in the blink of an eye,
at the last trumpet's sound.
For the trumpet will sound
and the dead will rise incorruptible,
and we will be changed.
Then the word will be fulfilled,
that is written:
Death is swallowed up in victory.
Death, where is your sting?
Hell, where is your victory?
(1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 54-55)
Lord, you are worthy
to receive praise and honor and power;
for you created all things,
and by your will they exist
and were created.
(Revelation 4:11)
