If I could choose, I would be impenetrable so nothing could ever hurt me. I could walk through fire, stand barefoot on the Arctic ice, or stand in the middle of a gunfight. Unfortunately, these things are impossible, because this world has limits. But why?
I unexpectedly received the answer to this question. The night was calm and I peacefully slept undisturbed. My dreams were tranquil and in a moment a vision emerged from the Spirit of the Almighty God.
A massive rock stood prominently behind a tiny housing development built into a valley. Many smaller rocks were scattered uniformly throughout the landscape.
I was standing on a path looking and wondering what this scene was all about. Suddenly a kind eyed middle aged man appeared and asked me about what I was seeing.
I quietly said I did not understand and the man smiling at me stated that the rocks are limits.
Immediately my dream changed and a light of understanding flooded my thoughts. God was the prominent rock and from His throne in Heaven He oversees the world and all of it's vastness.
God created the world and everything in it and He has given it limits. Limits written down before the beginning of time. Limits that require that we must believe in Jesus in order to win in the Great Game of Life.
1Peter 2:1&2, "Rid yourselves, then, of all evil; no more lying or hypocrisy or jealousy or insulting language. Be like newborn babies, always thirsty for the pure spiritual milk, so that by drinking it you may grow up and be saved."
We are placed in this world to do service for God. In order to serve we must let go of this present age. We must gain wisdom from the suffering and persecution we face and allow these growing experiences to make us stronger.
No one has the ability to navigate this world separate from God. We must hold onto the rock of Jesus and allow Him to work in us.
1Peter 2:4-&5, "Come to the Lord, the living stone rejected by man as worthless but chosen by God as valuable. Come as living stones, and let yourselves be used in building the spiritual temple, where you will serve as holy priests to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ."
The tiny houses are people. They have been given the message of salvation and have accepted their calls. They have taken their human temples and grown in knowledge from the limits God placed in their lives through the experiences they have faced.
Why did God give me this vision. Many people do not understand why God does not show Himself to the world. They want a God that is concrete and not spiritual.
They want God to walk beside them in human form and not a God that is invisible. They don't understand that a human God has the same weaknesses as man.
God came as a man in Jesus Christ. He walked beside people loving and healing them of all the pain inflicted on them from Satan. But as a human being Jesus was limited!
When God is Spiritual He has no limits. He can talk anytime He wants to His children on the earth. He can walk within them giving them supernatural strength and the ability to fight against Satan and win this world for God.
When Jesus walked this world He realized that the only way that God's children could win was through the teaching of the Holy Spirit. He called the Spirit the comforter, helper, and the counselor.
John 16:5-8 "But now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me where I am going. And now that I have told you, your hearts are full of sadness. But I am telling you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, because if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I do go away, then I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove to the people of the world that they are wrong about sin and about what is right and about God's judgment."
Because the church refuses to teach people more about the spiritual aspect of the world many people have given up on faith in the unseen God. They look at religion as a crutch for the weak because they don't understand they we are in a world game.
A Spirit has the ability to strengthen and help people in their individual fight against Satan. If God were just a man He could only help a few people at a time, but as a Spirit, He has the ability to help billions at a time.
John 16:9-11, "They are wrong about sin, because they do not believe in me; they are wrong about what is right, because I am going to the Father and you will not see me anymore; and they are wrong about judgment, because the ruler of this world has already been judged."
My vision started with God showing me how important it is for people to put their faith in Jesus. Jesus is a solid rock who loves people and directs a person's life to the truth about this world.
That is the reason He is called the Light of the world. He parts the darkness of evil placed here by Satan and He teaches people the right path that leads to understanding the difference between good and bad.
Satan is a demon who goes throughout the world to devour people. He has taken the world that God created and destroyed it by using evil human beings who do his will. These are people who are so corrupted by the desires of this world that they will do whatever the devil demands.
Because Satan is king of this world, he hides the good and replaces it with bad. That is the reason why our world is full of injustices. Satan has multiple personalities and he will even back stab the very people who do his will. His ultimate goal is to destroy all people in order to defeat Jesus from saving the world.
He uses the earths resources to destroy human life. He does this though drought, floods, earthquakes and all forms of disasters. Drought produces poverty, floods breed diseases, earthquakes destroy families and displace cities.
When an evil god reigns, corruption builds evil governments and societies that place bad people in control. People who only care about money and not human life. The courts become corrupt and evil people are allowed to murder, commit incest and perpetrate all forms of injustices on good people.
Jesus, in human form, was limited in time and space according to the boundaries of the world, but Jesus in Spirit form has the ability to aid his followers and win the fight against the evil god of this world. Jesus has the ability to take on the Spiritual realm and crush the demon forces of Satan.
This is the reason why our world has a limited time. God will not lose the battle and He will not allow His servants to be defeated. God created all things including the devil and from the very beginning of time He has known the outcome of the battle of the great world game of life.
Time And Space Music
To be fair we will have to present the equation for both science and the Bible to show that both come to the same conclusion. Unfortunately one leaves man hopeless and the other carries man to a realm where hope becomes reality.
To travel anywhere in space man needs to increase the speeds of our craft to nearly the speed of light. Unknown to most is that presently we have only managed to propel payloads to the neighborhood of about 30,000 miles per hour.
To get our little rocket ware to the speed of light we will secondly have to ignore an inconvenient truth. (Not Al Gore’s) Simply stated, physical objects lose their mass in equal and direct proportion to which they approach the speed of light. That is to say that they become pure energy or metaphysical or as the Bible says spirit. Gene Rodenberry had to ignore this fact in the creation of his famous Star Trek series but science cannot. In fact since one inconvenient truth was overlooked why not overlook it nine times over? Why not imagine warp speeds of nine times the speed of light?
But let’s get back to earth long enough to carry the equation to its end. Even here we will have to engage the imagination. If we could get our spacecraft to approach the speed of light lets take a short trip and see how this is going to work.
To make a roundtrip voyage to the very closest star system to the sun, Alpha Centauri, it will take approximately eight light years provided we can reach the speed of light. Here’s the rub. When the rocketeers and their craft reach the speed of light, time runs out. Yes, time stops cold at the maximum speed of light.
When the travelers return to earth (if they can return to a physical state after reaching the speed of light) and depending on how close to the speed of light they came the planet will be approximately 37,000 to 400,000 years older so for everything they ever knew before the trip began, time has run out.
If we set our sites for a star system only on the far reaching edges of our own Milky Way Galaxy by the time we returned to the earth it would not just be older, it would be gone. The sun will have burned out and the earth will have most likely ceased to exist altogether. What a surprise for the weary travelers. Once again that old pesky time has run out.
The final product of our equation is clearly that time runs out. This is derived from known science not from Gene Rodenberry’s imagination. A recent television show asks adults to put their intelligence to the test against some rather brilliant fifth graders. The adults are not doing well. If you are having trouble seeing how our equation plays out perhaps you might want to discuss it with a fifth grader. No insult intended to the reader. This is just a way of saying this stuff is common knowledge. But hey, I have met M.I.T. students who still think when a space craft passes by in space it makes a whooshing sound. With no air in space that is impossible and there are a few fifth graders who know that.
It isn’t enough that science has dismissed accountability to a creator by insisting we came from monkeys which sounds hopeless enough but then comes part two. This is where man brings his monkey business into outer space and is found fighting planetary wars and producing the same mayhem found on earth throughout our entire history. It is much like the analogy of a civilization that burned the candle at both ends but when it burned out instead of blowing the smoke in God’s face it blew back into their own face.
Thanks to the Star Trek, Star Wars mentality we have unwittingly driven hope from our youth. Of course no one dares associate the presentation of science’s conclusions with the rise in teen suicides. How ungrateful of our children to not appreciate the notion of future sterile but warring Orwellian societies smattered across the universe. Perhaps we think they should be thankful to just get out there since it is quite a leap forward after starting out as a mere monkeys.
The Biblical equation comes to the same conclusion as the scientific one but the end product is not hopelessness. The Bible also says time runs out but it is just the beginning. It is a beginning where time almost doesn’t matter at all but life does and it goes on without wars and mans worst behavior.
Time as we know it runs out at the second coming of Christ. The world does not end and the sun doesn’t burn out. Christ takes up rule from Jerusalem (Iran’s Ahmadinejad not withstanding) and those who followed him throughout the ages will have been transformed and rule with him with bodies that are eternal and not subject to death etc. as before. This period lasts for one thousand years and is commonly referred to as the Millennial Kingdom. Eternity in a new earth is scheduled to begin at the end of that period.
My eschatological escapade ends here so the point which is that “time runs out" will not be lost. The Bible says time as we know it on earth will not go on for unending centuries or millennia but will end just before man is gathered to face judgment. Mankind, the Bible says, will be gathered whether living or dead from the earth and the sea but not the stars. Not only does the Bible say that we will meet with God before we travel to the stars but science does as well. Although much more reluctant to admit it, science has summarily concluded that time runs out long before space.
Science says the universe began with a bang and our world will end with a bang. The Bible says that the universe began by the silent determination and will of God and the world will end with a whimper not a bang. Time will run out for which some have got the good sense to be thankful.
And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: Revelation 10: 5-6
