12 Saying, [lego] Amen: [amen] Blessing, [eulogia] and [kai] glory, [doxa] and [kai] wisdom, [sophia] and [kai] thanksgiving, [eucharistia] and [kai] honour, [time] and [kai] power, [dunamis] and [kai] might, [ischus] be unto our [hemon] God [theos] for [eis] ever [aion] and ever. [aion] Amen. [amen] KJV-Interlinear


12 saying, "Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen." NASB


And what is everyone in heaven saying with regard to Jesus Christ, the one on the throne, the one who is the savior, the lamb who made Himself the sacrifice for us all?

Enclosed between two ‘amens.’ Amen, ‘amen’ is an expression of strong affirmation of that which is said, is strongly believed by those who say it. Amen means, it is so, believe it, it is truth, and therefore must be believed.

And what was said? That of everything that is good is ascribed to God, every blessing is traced to Him, everything that is excellent is attributed to Him.

Blessing, ‘eulogia,’ adoration, benediction, consecration, benefit, bounty, approval, sanction, consent.
Glory, ‘doxa,’ dignity, honor, praise, worship, magnificence, splendor, beauty.
Wisdom, ‘sophia,’ knowledge, understanding, perception, application.
Thanksgiving, ‘eucharistia,’ gratitude, appreciation, recognition, credit.
Honour, ‘time,’ value, precious, price paid, esteem, intrinsic.
Power, ‘dunamis,’ ability, strength, miraculous effort.
Might, ‘ischus,’ force, capacity, valor.
God, ‘theos,’ highest authority and sovereign.

Today in this world, the objects of worship are a dime a dozen. Whether they are false gods, idols, secular objects or philosophies, or simply relying one ones own opinion about life, they are all false and worthless and powerless.

God is everything that they are not. And Jesus Christ is the one and only God in all of creation and in heaven, on whom the entire Bible is focused.

Before you were born into this world, you had no say as to what your life would be like, and probably very little say as to what you could do with your life, during your life.

But, with respect to heaven and eternity, your next life, you have every opportunity to define and design what your life will be like then. That definition and design, comes through your daily study of the Word of God and your spiritual growth. Those who advance in their spiritual life will receive blessings beyond their imaginations. Those who do not advance, will receive nothing. Review the studies of the parables.

And were it not for the fact that every person has an opportunity to advance in their spiritual life, then people might have an excuse, but such is not the case. God provides us all with doctrine and opportunity. You have to decide if your future in heaven has any meaning to you at all, and what if anything you are going to do about it.
