I had grieved so much over the dome and its potential for a giant apocalyptic scene of the Revelation of Christ the Lord as I see it being fulfilled with a mighty climax coming almost any day now, I almost failed to see what God is showing me across the street where these huge warehouses stand tall 3 in a row abandoned as many as six maybe seven in a complex very attractively located. When I lifted my eyes and beheld what God has wrought, I could not contain myself. I had a very special feeling about this old place that a more permanent display of Christian art could be painted on the walls to illustrate the Word of God and to witness the mighty revelation upcoming events that are controlled by God without man's interference. I still pray for the dome but there may be another more important endeavor coming first. I see something happening here in an extraordinary way to further the cause of Christ and my mission here on earth to narrate God's message in humongous visual art.
May this dream come true O Lord. Increase my faith I pray and may I obey Your Word.
I considered my brother in law the very best person I have known and I feel somewhat lost without him, just knowing that he was there was a pleasing reassurance, we always agreed and had Christian fellowship together for these wonderful years. Richard was a great man and a wonderful husband to my sister. Richard had a pleasing attitude and very disciplined.
I learned from him repeatedly and appreciated his company that always fit in appropriately to every situation. Richard always had time to witness Christ to ever person that he met.
Why would God call home a person like this so desperately needed in this sinful world?
None of us have any lease on life, we all live by the breath of God each day, so let us be thankful to God our creator and Lord. We are told that our soul that is within us departs
the minute we die to be with the Lord. There is good scripture to back up this theory but others say we wait in the grave for the resurrection. There is also good scripture to back up the soul sleep theory. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus would indicate that we go to heaven instantly or to hell whichever we be rich or poor with few exceptions to that rule. "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven". Some Scriptures appear to be contradictory but I have found that they are not if we go back to the original source of the Scriptures. I believe that most of us will see the coming of the Lord and the earth destroyed and renewed preparing for the rule of Christ.
"…To be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord". (for Christian believers)
Then there's the scripture "The dead know nothing". Show us your true way Lord I pray.
Human organs are said to be designed to last 200 years even though the Bible promises us only seventy years. Many people in the world today live to be 150 years old especially in
the Andes of South America, the high mountains of Tibet in China and in parts of Russia. Obviously none of these places have access to fast-food never eating at McDonald's or at Burger King. Methuselah lived 900 years and yet that is nothing compared to eternity as we're promised to live forever with our new bodies. God seem to reduce the life span of man then because of sin but now we are reducing it because of our wrongful eating.
A friend writes "In Hebrew soul is nephesh. It literally means "a living creature”. King James Version translates it sometimes as "beast, body, breath, creature, mind, soul", and several others, all from that one word. The Greek word is “psuche”, King James version translates it sometimes as "heart, life, mind, soul". King James version interchanges life and soul in various places, when it is all the same word which refers to a living creature". If we do not see these things clearly, I believe God will forgive as and show us in the end.
