(click on either "The Equinox" or the web link below it to view)
Somehow, it is strange the way things seem to just come together when I
write this blog. First, there is the advertisement for the new movie
called Noah. Then, we just happen to be studying the book of Second
Peter at church and finally, there is today's picture on nasa.gov..
Well, I haven't seen the movie "Noah", but I hear that it differs from
the Biblical account, but the promo certainly looks interesting. And the
book of Second Peter is interesting for a variety of reasons, foremost
among them is that I just haven't studied it in a long time. And then
there is today's NASA picture about the equinox. When I viewed the video
and saw the shifting terminator, dividing day and night, I was reminded
that this Earth has been around a long, long time, but will not be here
forever. Putting all this together with the passages listed below, I
thought...
Genesis, Chapter 8
20
Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of
every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 Yahweh
smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again
curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of
man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike
every living thing, as I have done. 22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
2nd Peter, Chapter 3
1 This
is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in
both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you; 2 that
you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy
prophets, and the commandments of us, the apostles of the Lord and
Savior: 3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts, 4 and
saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the
fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the
beginning of the creation.” 5 For
this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an
earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God; 6 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. 7 But
the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been
stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and
destruction of ungodly men. 8 But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The
Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is
patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance. 10 But
the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the
heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be
dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it
will be burned up. 11 Therefore
since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people
ought you to be in holy living and godliness, 12 looking
for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will
cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt
with fervent heat? 13 But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Just because we have not seen the end of all things, does NOT MEAN THAT IT ISN'T COMING!!! Scoffers
will belittle God and his word. Disbelievers will do what they have to
do, but as for me- verse 13 above is God's word on the subject and that
settles that!!!!
Believe or don't believe, you have the right to choose, but remember, God delivered Noah because he OBEYED HIM.
Everyone else made the WRONG CHOICE and did not survive!!! I pray that
you will follow in the footsteps of NOAH and obey when God's word
instructs you to do something!!! Now is the time, today is the day to
do something with your life- and Gary- THIS MEANS YOU AS WELL!!!!
