LIMITATIONS OF TIME

Dear friend, kindly consider the limitations of time… No – consider instead, life eternal.

At a thousand years your job (however well paid) would become a burden. Imagine working for someone else - one thousand years! Wow! Being an employee is real bondage.

How about ten thousand years? Which prayer will not be answered by then? Only it will be as 10 days or perhaps 10 seconds to you. So dear friend every prayer will be answered immediately - as eternity goes. After a while, you wouldn’t even ask for some things; they’ll come naturally to you. There’s more.

At a hundred thousand years, looks, wealth, alas most observances would no longer matter, even ego would become useless.

Now consider what life would be like if we had to live with each other, a million years. We would be more careful what we say or do. You can’t create a monster out of a young boy and leave this world for him to molest other people. If we had to live that long with the product of our words and actions then even the common act of worrying would be unbearable.

Violence would be history. How? You may ask. Well, let me ask you. How old are our differences, how long will they last? Certainly not a million years! Extend man’s vision and he’ll see the futility of violence. You see, neither war nor poverty nor disease is greater than Six Thousand years old (give or take some) – not even death. Imagine, no being ever died before Adam.

Ten million years, and only The Truth shall make sense. He shall shine as the Morning Star in the absence of any false half-lights. Doesn’t that remind you of what Christ said about heaven and earth passing away - the word remaining unchanged? I could go on and on but I’d rather end by saying ‘give the slightest imperfection a billion years, and it would turn man into a hideous beast’. See why Adam had to die?

Ps
Eternal life would be disastrous for a fallen man. Now you know why God, His word, His law is just – and the wages of sin is death. GOD HAD A BETTER PLAN.
