Ephesians 1:19-21 King James Version (KJV)
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

19 and how surpassingly great is his power working in us who trust him. It works with the same mighty strength he used 20 when he worked in the Messiah to raise him from the dead and seat him at his right hand in heaven, 21 far above every ruler, authority, power, dominion or any other name that can be named either in the ‘olam hazeh or in the‘olam haba.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

19 We are to find our strength in Him. He is to be our power, we are not going to overcome the ways of this world by any power of this world we have to have His heavenly power to overcome and thru this we truly know His greatness. We as Christians have faith in God who is all powerful and the only one who has no limits to what He can do and this is where we draw our power from the never ending supply of God.

20 God brought Jesus from death to His right hand we are able to have the Holy Spirit because of Christ defeating death and dying for our sins. One day we will be in His holy presence in the heavens. Just as God worked thru Christ, He wants to work thru us as well.

21 Let the name of the Lord always be praised and His praise never ends. His name alone will always be praised, we are not to seek self praise but give the glory back to the Lord.

Historically, when Christians did not do has you said, they failed or slide into Apostasy.

Just look at the RCC. Early Christians were martyred for saying no the Rome. Later ones compromised and became Rome, nothing more than changed and revitalized Roman Paganism.

Look at the seven churches in Revelation. Dire warnings for those who forgot Christ and his teachings.

So, I agree with what you said and think the timing is perfect.
