The Righteous Will Shine Like the Sun in the Kingdom of Their Father
Matthew 13:40-43

Matthew 13:40-43 As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness. 42 And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
At the end of the age, God will bring a final separation between those who practice lawlessness and the righteous who belong to Him. There will be a purification as this age comes to a close. When Jesus returns, the righteous will be fully transformed and will shine like the sun in His kingdom. They will be made like Him and will dwell in His glory. Until that day, keep your eyes on God and live in readiness for the return of Christ. ~ Jeff M Newman
