Hello Mike,

Thank you all for truly revealing the things of God. My question is: Does Scripture reveal anything concerning the future… after God will be all in all?
Such a wonderful feeling comes over me, every time I think about that “day” I just want to arrive at that point in time. Thank you for your time, thoughts and comments.
God’s will be done and share the love and blessings,

Hi E____,
Thank you for your question.
You ask if God reveals to us what lies in the future after God is all in all?
You go on to say:

Such a wonderful feeling comes over me, every time I think about that “day” I just want to arrive at that point in time.

It is indeed very comforting to know that in the end, God will have redeemed every man woman and child who has ever lived. What a wonderful contrast to the monster who is portrayed to us by the Adversary and his messengers.
Now to answer your question directly, the short answer is no, there is no Biblical revelation beyond “… and God will be all in all”. That is the limit of our Lord’s revelation to us in scripture, and we dare not even “think above what is written”.

1Co 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and [ to] Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think [ of men] above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

While the words ‘of men’ may be implied, they are in brackets to let us know they were not in the Greek. We are plainly admonished “not to think above what is written” whether we are thinking of men or of the future, or of any subject, as we will see clearly stated below.
This phrase “all in all”, which is “pas en pas” in the Greek, appears three times in scripture. Here they all are.

1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him [ to be] the head over all [ things] to the church,
Eph 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

“God works all in all… that God may be all in all… the fulness of Him that fills all in all”. That is where revelation stops and in light of the following verses, that is where we need to stop inquiring for now.

Deu 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

This commandment is repeated in the New Testament.

Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [ from] the things which are written in this book.

In light of those two verses, it behooves us to be satisfied with the incredible wealth of revelation we have been given, and to have the mind which Christ here tells us to have concerning the future.

Mat 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

The Greek here tells us to “take no anxious thought for tomorrow”, but the point being made is the same: “For the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof”.
Where then, should our thoughts be? What should be our concern? The answer to that question is in the preceding verse:

Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

What does that mean? Where is that kingdom whose righteousness we are admonished to be seeking instead of concerning ourselves with “the things of tomorrow”? Here is the answer to both of those questions:

Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

That is the answer to your question. Seek the righteousness of “the kingdom of God… within you,” and “the things of the morrow will take thought for the things of itself”. There are a couple more verses which help us to realize that even if we were told what is beyond God being all in all, then we would still not be satisfied, and we would want to know what was beyond that revelation, and there would be no end to our curiosity. Here are those verses:

Deu 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Ecc 1:8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

I hope all these verses of scripture have helped you to see that God’s emphasis in this life is on the ‘is’ part of His Word, which we are many times told in this order “ is, was and will be”.

Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

If we seek the righteousness of the kingdom of God within us today, then we will have no problem when tomorrow gets here, because when tomorrow gets here, it will then be ‘is’, and there ‘is’ much work to be done to “seek the righteousness of the kingdom of God” within each of us right this moment.

Your brother in Christ,
