The Saving of Cultures

God loves the diverse cultures of earth. I was surprised when

recently I heard the teaching that God does not want heaven to

one culture, and one view of life. But heaven will not be a one

language, one-culture existence in which all will live in forever.

It will be made up of multiple cultures from every tribe and

nation — each distinctly adding its flavor to the whole of heaven

(Rev. 7:9f). We are told that the kings of the earth will march at

the head of their nations as they enter heaven bringing their

unique flavor and glory into it (Rev. 21:24-26).

To be sure there are perversions and sins found in every culture

and people group. This is the product of sin and the fall of man

in the garden of Eden. But that is not to say that the unique

development of how different nations and people groups see

and live life is all bad, or to be swept away. God loves diversity

and the different ways people groups live and worship God.
