"You've probably heard of the great hallelujah chorus that will take place around God's throne. People of every ethnicity will sing out in their native tongue the praises of God, who redeemed their life from its awful pit (Revelation 7:9-17). What's significant about this holy gathering is that God didn't make their new heavenly bodies monolithic. He didn't make them all blue-eyed with fair skin or cocoa brown with curly lox. He allowed their ethnicity to pass over from the temporal to the eternal. That's how much he values ethnicity. That's how much he loves it. "Native, Asian, Black, and White." All very precious in his sight." - Yana Conner, Jude 3
