30/ But many who are the greatest now

[For more information about our Heavenly Father's name YAHWEH see: WBS #55/ VICTORY IN JESUS]

will be least lmportant then, and those who seem least important now

{Those who were considered "least important" by full blooded Jews in Jesus time were Converted Japhetic Greeks-Gentiles) and Hellinists whom were Jews born outside the Holy Land who spoke the Greek language and had adopted much of the Greek culture.

See Acts 6:1 AMP, Acts 16:1 AMP, Galatians chapter 2 AMP These verses show the cultural and racial predjudice happening at that time that the Gospel when correctly taught and faithfully followed, sets us free from.)

Genesis 9:27 KJV 27/God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan,

the son of Ham who disrespected his father Noah, shall be his servant; BUT because of Jesus, all who receive Him as Lord and Savior, are now freed from servant curses in the earth .} born again, Holy Spirit filled Christians of every color, ethnicity, & nation, will be the greatest (TO GOD) then.}

The time of then is starting to take place now!!! Romans 11:25 NKJV "the fullness of the Gentiles has come in". Revelation 7:9 KJV * 9/ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands}.

See:

WBS #143GENESIS 9
GOD BLESSED NOAH & HIS SONS: SHEM, HAM, & JAPHETH

Matthew 20:16 NKJV

16/ So the last will be first (Christians), and the first last (Jews). For many are called, but few chosen.”

John 4:23-24 KJV

23/ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24/ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Jeremiah 31:13-14 NIV

13/ Then young women will dance and be glad,
    young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
    I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
14/ I will satisfy the priests with abundance,
    and my people will be filled with my bounty,”
declares the LORD.

Philippians 3:3 NKJV 3/ For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” isaiah 61:3 nkjv

philippians 3:10 nkjv

10/ that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings

When King David danced before the Lord, he was in complete abandonment of himself, he did not care what anyone thought about his actions.

2 Samuel 6:20-23 NKJV

20/ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” 21/ So David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD. 22/ And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”

23/ Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.

Likewise, just as King David danced before the Lord in complete abandonment of self, Christians today who are blessed to experience the fullness of joy in God's presence, will dance, jump, leap and clamorously act foolish not caring about what anyone thinks of them as they worship and praise God in the spirit of indescribable joy.

1 CORINTHIANS 4:10 KJV

10/ We are fools for Christ's sake,

Psalm 16:11 NKJV

11/ You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Acts 2:28 NLT

28/ You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’

A Heavenly Inheritance, something to dance about

1 Peter 1:3-9 NKJV

3/ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten [BEGOTTEN = SPIRITUAL BIRTH] us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4/ to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5/ who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6/ In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7/ that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8/ whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9/ receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
