Faith's Timeline

I am a bit confused over conflicting thoughts I’ve had for years. What confuses me are the common beliefs of where we are in a history yet to be written.  Where are we in the timeline of creation, where are we in the countdown to destruction?  Questions that have been asked for over 2000 years and questions that none of us have the answers to.

But clues remain and the Word is there to teach and guide us on this journey of creation, destruction, and rebuilding.  The problem is the Words were written long ago and the meanings of the Word have existed since the beginning of time.  So we are left, mortal men and women, we are left to decipher these meanings, to use the Word to answer the questions of where we are in God’s timeline.

Throughout history generations have thought they were the last, or the first.  You see the greatest mystery is when will the Heavens be split and the White Rider, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords return to end all this madness around us.  When will the mysteries of who and what Babylon represents be answered?  Many have tried to put a date on God’s timeline…foolish men, God is the master time-keeper, with Him and only Him resides the hour glass with the sands of life and death, of creation and destruction.  Foolish to try and read God’s mind, for He already knows your intent. 

So in my confusion, I pray and ask for direction, for guidance, for truth and understanding.  I am not a sinless man and I am not an learned scholar, but I am a believer in the Lord God almighty and His Son Jesus Christ and thru all things He makes possible if only you ask and have faith…and faith has limitless patience, or it is merely a false hope.

My dreams are based on faith, not hope.  You see hope has a measure of maybe to it…maybe it will or maybe it won’t…but I hope so.  Faith does not work that way…for faith the answer is simply…it will.

Here is my faith…that this world will not perish before our eyes, but rather it will be uplifted to see all the glory you could ever imagine.  Picture your vision of Heaven…do you see it?  Picture in your mind the most perfect scenario possible for you and your loved ones and the world around you.  Can you do that?

If you can’t than you need to search yourself and ask a simple truth…do you believe, or not?  If you are a believer than picturing Heaven is not a problem, you’ve probably done it 1000’s of times.  If you struggle to picture it than I suggest you go for a quiet walk in nature, open your heart and mind and let the loving spirit show you the majesty that awaits His believers.  It will give hope to the doubter, a hope that will turn to faith as you continue your walk.  If your walk is too burdensome, sit and look around, do you see the greatness around you?  Do you see there is more to this life than money, cars, fancy houses and earthly lavishes that are a mere temptations towards a false hope.   

Enjoy the bounties of life, but don’t ever lose faith in something better no matter how good or bad your life may be.  

That is my faith, that one day there will be Heaven on Earth and throughout my life when times were bad, I held to this faith and when times were good, I knew it was only a glimpse of something better…that is my faith…a faith that I serve a loving and caring Master, that even in the devil’s domain the serpent is powerless against the faithful.  It is this domain, this ungodly and unrighteous torture chamber of pain that will be destroyed in the end…not the beauty that was created from nothing and has thrived for thousands of generations, even in some of the most wretched and tormented areas of our world.

My faith includes forgiveness, thankfulness and the undeniable fact that there is something bigger and better out there that we can not always see…but we can certainly hear and feel.  My faith includes the belief that this world will not perish, but be transformed into Heaven on Earth…my faith does not hope…my faith knows it will.

I can not begin to detail all the experiences and research that has gone into making these next comments. All I can say is that it is based on faith…a faith that has been tested but is unwavering.

To answer the question where are we in the sands of time is simple…we are right where we’re supposed to be, why question it to begin with…you can not change what has been pre-destined.  What you say, that is no answer…well it is if you ask the question to someone without the answer.  You see there is only One who knows this answer and to Him I place my faith…so don’t ask mortal men, they do not have the answer…the answer lies with and at the right hand of the Father and on the left hand is the hour glass of our world.  Like a chess match between good and evil, the darkness knows it fights a losing battle.  With all its armies it tries to shift the sands of time to their advantage, but it serves no purpose.

I am not anything but just another soul on this planet longing for answers, many of which I have found, but others remain.  But here is what my faith tells me:  If time were to stop for even three seconds, and in that three seconds every man, woman and child that has been exposed to the Word of God and the life of Christ was asked a simple question…Do you believe or not?...You have three seconds to answer…the hour glass only has four grains of sand left, so you do not have time to think…your heart, mind, body and soul will guide your spirit to this answer.  You have three seconds…do you believe?

Here is what my faith has revealed to me…those that answer no in that three seconds will perish from this earth and it won’t just be them that are gone…it will be everything that they have ever done as well.  Their history will be no more; their destiny will be of fire, for they have chosen a false and corrupt legacy.  Their soul has been so polluted that their spirit is a dark concoction of hate and distrust…of divisiveness instead of understanding and compromise.  They would rather stir the pot of misfortune than see the glory of a faith filled life.  They have put their hope in disbelief, or even worse in evil and their hope has no chance against our faith…hope is a maybe…faith is a certainty.

For those that answer yes I do believe….your faith is answered and your dreams of Heaven on Earth are a reality.  Why…read the previous paragraph…all the bad will be GONE!!!  In an instant the world will be transformed and all the good will prevail and all the bad will be vanquished.  For the faithful it will be Heaven on Earth…exactly what the closing chapters of the Word describes to us.

How you may ask is this ever going to happen.  I am a simple man with simple beliefs based of simple truths, it is this world that distracts and confuses us and makes things more complicated than they need to be.  Search yourself and ask the question…Do you think our loving Creator would destroy all He created...Never, unless we as a world lose all faith…then there are other chapters that deal with that.

Have faith that this world will one day be transformed into Heaven on Earth….and it will be so.
