I would be very happy too. First understand that I am not
"spiritual" or "religious". I just love God. I have seen
so many real miracles I can no longer recount them all, and
believe that the less we say about what we have had a hand
in, the more we are allow to have a hand in even greater
things. Therefore, I use the language I use with my closest
brothers and sisters. Things like "it seems insane that
God would bring us back here." Yes, it does. After what
He went through here, I wouldn't think He would want to come
back. And after going through what it takes to make it to
heaven--including the miracle of ever listening to those who
are witnessing to you in the first place--it seems that the
very last possible idea Jesus would have in the eternal
plan would be to come back here. It seems logical that those
living in a manner that would grant them entrance to heaven in the first place would simply "go to heaven".
But that is not what the Bible says, and after I hated the idea and was hoping it was all a semantic mistake, now I think otherwise.
Since we "put on the mind of Christ" I have to trust that
SOME of my thoughts come from him, and I see something rather
awesomely wonderful in the concept of living here with Jesus
finally being the King of the Kings and the Lord of the Lords
and enjoying His own creation. If that is to be, I think
it is utterly perfect.
That we "would be dragged back here". It's just colorful talk.
I have had several dead serious conversations about the l000
year reign of Jesus Christ on earth again, and that is what
I always said. I'd have to be dragged back.
I know this sounds blaphemous, but I believe the Lord rather
enjoys human company, not programmed card readers. I remember
James Robison, who I really, really love as a brother in
Christ, preaching, and he said, "You know what? Jesus thinks
I'm funny. He really does." I knew exactly what he meant.
He meant that in his prayers and communications on a daily
basis he and the Lord enjoy Jame's humor. Where do you think
we get our sense of humor? From Satan? "Dragging us back
here" means just me.
I've had a lot of trouble being able to cope with the suffering of people, animals and even plants, and it's only just beginning. The Lord has warned me to get ready, because there is even more as we know, and what damage has been done so far has almost been as much as I can take. And being an historian, well, history is a very
frightening place. Many people have had very unpleasant
things happen to them and then they died very unpleasant
deaths. Yes. That bothers me. It seems unfair.
My first thought was being here 1000 years with all the
animals killed to extinction and billions of tons of garbage
and pollution, well, truly the idea seemed "insane" and I
was sure there was some mistake. The Lord knows exactly
what I'm talking about and at this point in time I feel
completely happy with my communications with Him, and do not
in any way feel that He is particularly displeased with my
horror of the present condition of the Earth. Obviously
if this is true, as written in the word, then there will be
changes of some kind. I'm sure the Lord would not want to
be here either if it were to be in this condition or worse.
Something would have to change, because the Earth at present
is like a vandalized home. It just has almost been ruined.
If you don't agree, then maybe we live in different dimensions
of space and time. (smile) |
