ETERNITY

 

Here we are at the beginning of a new year, some blanketed with snow and ice as they are every winter. In my lifetime, I’ve seen milder winters and some that are fierce, but all in all, things have stayed the same. The earth God created has been going through cycles since the worldwide flood of Noah’s day. And even though we hear experts warn of global warming, nothing really has changed, except the fear and lies the climate-change propagandists spew.

 

You might remember when these fear-mongers blasted out news of a tear in the ozone layer and another ice age. When that didn’t work, they changed their story to global warming. Many Creation scientists strongly disagree. So, don’t buy into this ploy of the “elites.” They want us common folks, whom they deem “useless eaters,” to live in fear because that way, we’re easier to control.

 

However, true believers in Jesus Christ know this is not our home. Heaven is! And this is why our LORD placed eternity in our hearts.[1] He gave us a longing for heaven and what comes after time ends. God has not given us a spirit of FEAR but of power, love, and a sound mind.[2]

 

Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger…real or imagined.[3] But Jesus told us not to worry since God knows our need. Instead, “…seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”[4]

 

The globalists expel fear, because their underlying spirit, Satan, is trying to make believers doubt God.

 

But created our universe by speaking it into being. If God Most High is powerful enough to envision all we see and then create it, is He not also strong enough to keep it?

 

This world had a beginning, and it will have an end. So, don’t doubt.

 

Consider Noah and his family. After one year and ten days, they finally emerged from the ark. Immediately, Noah built an altar to thank God. As the smoke and aroma from the sacrifice wafted up, God said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of his heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.”

 

Still, In His very next breath, He said, While the earth remains…” we will have day and night, and seasons.[5]

 

Did you realize God prophesied this as He created two luminaries on day four? God said, “…Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the…heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.[6]

 

Many Bible scholars believe there were no seasons before the flood because the waters above our sky (firmament), and the waters below, meaning seas, etc., kept the earth warm and moist like a terrarium. I tend to agree, although some very learned people disagree.

 

Still, when God told Noah seasons would now come into play, He said they would last only as long as the earth remained. And this brings us full-circle, and why God placed eternity in our hearts.

 

After the events of Revelation, chapters six through twenty, about which Jesus said, “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no nor ever shall be,”[7] eternity begins. John said, “…I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away…Then…I…saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”[8]

 

New Jerusalem is the city Abraham longed for, “…whose builder and maker is God.”[9]

 

Yes, time is winding down, and as we come closer to the end, we will see hints and signs of the coming cataclysm for people who have rejected God in this age, including globalists. But they, too, have eternity in their hearts, yet since heaven is NOT their home, they feel and express impending doom. This is why they work feverishly to stop God’s judgment and to fix a planet they can’t fix. I’m not promoting irresponsibility; I’m saying:

 

God declared Earth’s end.

 

But those who have received Jesus as Lord and Savior need not fear. Our Redeemer IS coming way before catastrophe to give us the eternity He promised.

 

Let’s pray hard for the Lost AND for our Country!
