“The
kings who reigned in the land . . . Bela . . . and when Bela died” Genesis
36:31-33
As a child I remember singing the
chorus, “This world is not my home, I’m just a passin’ through”. I didn’t like
the song actually. It was too focused, I thought, on the temporary nature of
our existence. I wanted something permanent and this song defied my desire. But
like it or not, the song is true, this world is only a temporary stop over
before eternity.
We humans like to think of ourselves permanent. We build things to insure our permanent condition. Ancient kings
would build monuments to extol their power and remind their subjects just how
great the king was. But the king, like everyone else, died. After death there
is a fixed permanence. We will spend eternity somewhere. The chorus that
bothered me reminded me, however, that I could put my treasures where
permanence was real. Jesus charged us to prepare for our permanent home with
more effort than our temporary one.
Dear Father, Help me be mindful of
and preparing for my permanent home with you. Amen.

Satan has deceived the whole world into worshiping the wrong father John 8:44, Rev 12:9, and I prove it by the word of God Acts 3:23.
ReplyDeleteOur true Father will not put any child of his into a hell fire as torture or as a second death no matter what their sins, whether they repent or not 1 John 2:2 in this life. That thought has never entered God's heart or mind Jer 7:31, Jer 19:5, Isa 28:18. God has an eternal place planned for all of his children, according to their works Rev 20:12-13, Ezek 37:26 of how they have treated their neighbor as themselves. Only those living by every word of God (love) will be allowed inside the walls of his coming city Rev 21.
The Bible is the book of the knowledge of good and evil. How to understand its secrets is now revealed on God's raised prophet's blog "The Good Tale". This is God's story, only God is good.
Now you can know your true Father's 1 John 4:8 everlasting Gospel that turns the hearts of the father's to the children Luke 1:17 from the wilderness Rev 12:5-6, Jer 31:22, Isa 14:16-17, Rev 12:17 as a witness to the world Matt 24:14.
Only the wise will hear Pro 1:5 and understand Dan 12:10 because only the wise will hear all things Acts 3:22.
Anyone believing or teaching the lies that Satan has deceived the whole world with will NOT be allowed Rev 22:14-15 inside the walls of the New Jerusalem Rev 21:2 in the coming kingdom of God Acts 3:23.
