Have you ever held a really big, beautiful diamond?  A "GIA grade F" diamond is considered flawless.  These are the rarest diamonds on earth, revealing no visible internal or external imperfections.  Three to four carat "grade Fs" are valued at $250,000 to $300,000 or more.  But these diamonds are unimpressive specks compared to the diamonds the Creator God possesses.  His diamonds are thousands of miles across – and, they sing for Him.

As we approach the end of this age and Christ's literal return, many Christians wonder what will happen to them.
