The End of the World

I've been interested in the end of the world, lately.

If that sounds odd, it shouldn't. You see, it all started with a trailer for the movie 2012. Apparently it has the world ending with another flood. Then I happened to see in a video store the move "Waterworld." Also about lots of water. And I thought, Haven't these people read the Bible? God said He wouldn't destroy the earth with another flood. So water is out.

I began reading chapter 21 in the Book of Revelation, actually for a different reason than what I'm going to mention here. But verse 1 says something like [I'm quoting from memory, so bear with me], "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away. And there was no more sea." When I read that, I was intrigued. I mean, I probably have read that verse countless times before. But this time I really read it, if you know what I mean.

There will be a new earth and a new heaven. What will they be like? Pink sky instead of blue? What will the landscape be like? It does say that there will not be a sea anymore. So does that mean no more oceans? That lets out a lot of cruises. Guess if you want to go on a cruise, you'd better do it soon!

The other thing to think about is this: If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior and follow Him, then you'll be here in that new heaven and new earth. Won't that be different? Our finite minds need time to process that kind of stuff, but if your spirit can grasp it, look out! It gives you a different perspective when you look out your front door.

Till next time,
