Your illness is terminal and you have __________ left.
We are told and tell one another we will die and yet only when faced with the reality of dying do we feel it. Although, we accept facts from knowledgeable people that our bodies continually renew themselves, we agree we will die - but not tomorrow or next week or ....
- Until you walk in on a burglary and the assailant points a gun at you or,
- You are driving home from the play, it was nice and you are relaxed, and from the oncoming traffic a car veers straight toward you or,
- Some official person calls you into their office and gently tells you your illness is stage xx and you have only so much time.
Your body and mind become numb and a variety of emotions too diverse to list slam into you, family and friends. In those few seconds before the gun fires or the car hits you head-on - you either crave to live or not die.
What does that mean, "crave to live or not die"? Aren't you saying the same thing? No! Some think of their children, spouse, the unfinished painting, the planned dream cruise; and desire to continue living and caring for their loved ones and enjoying their life. Others have unfinished business in their career, an apology left unsaid, an unsettled soul not ready.
Of course, there is the Rare human with a resignation and peace to leave this Life to be with our Lord. This type of person is an example and the envy of those that worry about life and death. This person lives in confidence of God's Word making life a joy and death a welcome transition.
For decades, I and we have heard of the return of the Lord and like many, the math didn't add up; and we continued life as usual. Let's skip the word Rapture and consider the diagnosis, some are going to DIE while others LIVE. Certain information combined with world events, over the last 50 years, have convinced me we are headed into that distinct, definite and eternal next phase.
We ALL are going to physically DIE - PERIOD - but our spiritual being is going to continue living, either WITH God or APART from God. To be WITH God is to live while being SEPARATE from God is to die. The experiences of watching others die or learning of their departure has absolutely convinced me everyone knows eternity is real; regardless of their speech. We are hard wired with the DNA of eternity.
I have also been convinced that within everyone is a part of their Creator that defines Eternal Death and Eternal Life. The realization of how short our time is on this planet is intensely sobering, for me; and is like a sign board, in the sky, stating, "Human Beings, you are Stage 6 and have x days. Whatever you have to do, do quickly and correctly. God/Time will not delay."
By the way, your illness? It's life. Life is terminal. Eternity is not.
As the United Nations continues preparation to become The World Governing Agency, we should be preparing for a safe place to live.
