WE have now close to 7 billion people on Earth. Soon 7 billion people will certainly die? The threat is colossal. Why does every human being have to die?
It appears that from the beginnings of humanity, Satan has placed HIS own seed (devil’s children) among God’s Adamic People, and has continued injecting more devils at every opportunity. God did tell Adam and Eve about the forbidden fruit, “If you consume this you will surely die…”
The first children of Eve brought a murderer into this world. Cain murdered his brother Able. Genesis 5 lists the descendants of ADAM. Cain is not among them. The descendants of CAIN are listed separately in Genesis 4. Jewish traditions maintain, that Satan, himself, is the father of Cain. The first twins of Eve are by two different fathers.
All of Mankind finds itself, at the time of this writing, right in the middle of this incredible dilemma.
IN Mat 13:24-30, JESUS EXPLAINED THIS GIANT PROBLEM OF IMPLANTED EVIL, AND GOD’S SOLUTION.
25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30LET BOTH GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST: AND IN THE TIME OF HARVEST I WILL SAY TO THE REAPERS, GATHER YE TOGETHER FIRST THE TARES, AND BIND THEM IN BUNDLES TO BURN THEM: BUT GATHER THE WHEAT INTO MY BARN.
I THINK, THE ABOVE DESCRIBES OUR PRESENT REALITY. GOD’S CHILDREN AND SATAN’S CHILDREN, NOW COEXIST AND COHABIT ON EARTH. AT RELATIVE MATURITY THE REAL DIFFERENCES APPEAR AND THE TYPES ARE SEPARATED AS THEY LEAVE THIS WORLD.
EVERY LIVING PERSON HAS TWO DIFFERENT BODIES
There is an invisible, enormous PORTAL, through which all of mankind gradually disappears. Observe 1 Cor 15: 40. Notice, the time displayed is the present, not the future.
IN DEATH, the two bodies are separated. The flesh body is discarded as garbage, with a warning not to touch or incur contamination. The celestial body remains as the personality, identity, consciousness and memory of the deceased, and appears before God.
“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”
Eccles 12: 7 The time is the future.
NOW, WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH, TO THE NOW SEPARATED, CELESTIAL OR SPIRITUAL BODY? Observe Luke 16 :19-26, our Lord Jesus speaking:
19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivest thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26AND BESIDE ALL THIS, BETWEEN US AND YOU THERE IS A GREAT GULF FIXED: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
God just told you, what happens to the celestial (spiritual) body after death. Absent from the body is present with the Lord, FOLLOWED BY COMPLETE SEPARATION FROM EACH OTHER, OF THOSE FORGIVEN (GOD IS PAYING FOR THEIR SINS) AND THOSE WHO MUST PAY THEMSELVES FOR THEIR EVIL.
Christ Jesus pays only for those who are His. If you reject Him, or betray Him, you pay yourself.
IT APPEARS, THAT WE ARE IN A WORLD OF WHEAT AND TARES. SOME, APPARENTLY, ARE LIKELY TO SEEK GOD. OTHERS, ARE LIKELY TO SEEK GODS’ ENEMY. AT THE DEATH OF OUR FLESH BODY THE WHOLE MESS GETS SORTED OUT (MAT 13:30), AS ABOVE DESCRIBED.
The immense offer of salvation of Christ Jesus has not been reduced. It remains open even to the worst among us, open to “whosoever will…”
WITH INFINITE LOVE GOD GAVE US A SAVIOR, to pay our penalty and a Bible, a guide and light on our path! The Bible is a love story; written with blood, upon a wooden cross; the story of God's love for you.
Men are not lost because they are sinners; THEY ARE LOST BECAUSE THEY HAVE REJECTED THE JESUS OF THE BIBLE, who died for them. If you are not yet completely committed to Christ, know that our Savior needs to be invited. He is a gentleman. He knocks on the door of your heart (innermost being). Everybody can have the other one (Satan) automatically; that one never knocks. He pushes his way.
Any CONCEIVABLE sacrifice is worthwhile to find the BIBLICAL Christ Jesus and to belong to Him. If you want Him, pray now with me, "DEAREST LORD JESUS, FORGIVE ME MY SINS. I REJECT ALL NON-BIBLICAL RELIGION. COME INTO MY LIFE AND BE THE RULER OF MY LIFE. HELP ME TO LOVE YOU MORE EVERY DAY AND TO OBEY YOU WITH ALL MY STRENGTH AND TO READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY, EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE."
If you do this, and mean it, with an open heart, this prayer will never fail. It will become the greatest thing you will ever have, and it will last forever. Even in this life it will be the greatest happiness you'll know, and a light upon your path. Conversely, to FAIL in this, it will be the GREATEST DISASTER you will ever have, both here and hereafter.
Something most especial is waiting for those who seek the immense goodness of our Lord. God Himself said, that "The ear has not heard, and no eye has ever seen, neither can man even imagine the HAPPINESS which God prepared for those who love him" (1 Cor. 2:9, paraphrased, if you please).
Christ Jesus became our Kinsman Redeemer, paying the terrible price for the sins of all who are HIS. Only for those who are HIS.
