When the laughter is silenced

Luk 6:22  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23  Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

25  Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.


Many of us have experienced to been made fun of, and mocked for our faith. Sometimes the mockers are unbelievers and atheists, and other times the mockers are other religious people. Jesus tells us to rejoice, because the coin will turn one day. They that laugh now, will morn then. There will come a time when the laughter is silenced.

They laughed at Nehemiah when he started to build on the walls. They stopped laughing when he finished it in 52 days…
They laughed at Noah, when he build the boat. They stopped laughing when it started to rain
The brothers of Joseph laughed at him, when he was at the bottom of the well. They stopped laughing when they bowed to the world leader in Egypt.
They laughed at Jesus when he carried his cross to Calvary. They stopped laughing when he was raised from the dead.

Let them laugh at you now. Let them mock. But one day their laughter will be silenced as well. The trumpet shall sound, and we shall be taken away. When this earth is going to face, not the rain but the fire from heaven. No on will laugh then.

One day we will come back to reign for a thousand years. No one will laugh then.
