Good Thursday morning! I saw frost on some roofs this morning! That means autumn cannot be far away. Whatever the calendar may say, it would appear that autumn will not be with us this weekend if the weather prognosticators are correct. Some nut was predicting a high of near 90 on Sunday, though they may have changed that by now. Let me check the website here... Oops, my bad, that prediction is on for Saturday now. Apparently they haven't caught the nut yet. That may seem like good news for the Farmer's Day celebration in Kimball, but 89 or 90 is a bit too much good news for later in September.
Does the Bible contain any predictions that are too much of a good thing? I guess in a way you could say yes to that. Exactly how long is eternity? And I'm not talking about that last class of the school day or the time it takes for 1700 to arrive on a Friday. On the other hand, if I could get my mind around eternity in Heaven, then perhaps the good news would not be good enough for the Bible. If Jesus could make us understand a finite number of years or eons that we would be in Heaven, then we would always have that little floater back there saying, "It's gonna end!" And you can bet the devil would use that to no end!
Praise God that eternity is safe with Him. We don't have to understand the length or breadth of eternity with Jesus in Heaven. We can be comforted just by looking up in hope to see that eternity arriving in the clouds of glory. Like that last hour of the work day before a big vacation, the hour of the glory of the Second Coming will arrive one great day. We cannot rush its arrival or hurry the coming of our Lord. We can't wish the Rapture here faster or escape our allotted time on this earth. However, we can take our faith, dust if off, polish it up a little and put it out in front for all to see: Jesus is coming again!
Have a wonderful day in Christ Jesus!
