“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” (Psalm 116:15)
What many fear the most, the Almighty looks forward to with great anticipation. What many attempt to hinder for as long as possible, we who have been born-again are to look forward to with as much enthusiasm and anticipation as our Father in heaven does.
When you stop to think about it, there really is only two options when contemplating death, fear or anticipation, everything else would fall under these two categories, and I am fairly sure you can guess which one is the most prevalent.
“My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?” (Psalm 42:2)
The burdens of life, whether they are self-imposed or forced upon us, offer only one alternative to those who can find no other way out, suicide, and for his own reasons, our adversary is hiding the immense numbers of suicides across the planet today, which is rising rapidly. One would think he would want that information out there in the public view, but as many other events of these days of the beginnings of sorrows are, some things will only be revealed fully to those who will be left behind.
“Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28)
I once asked a wise man what happens to one who is hid in Christ who, for whatever reasons, committed suicide, and his answer revealed a truth to me. “It will be the last sin that the Lord forgave him of.”
I bring this subject up today in this short letter to you for this singular reason, our adversary seems to be moving away from his deception that all are to love everyone, no matter what they are or their choice of lifestyle, and towards a more open form of the opportunity to despair. The latter will of course be continued, but not so much in the public’s view as it has been.
The supposed pandemic, which by the way we are all just to supposed to forget about, was a catalyst for all that has happened since. An initial response of the possibility of death, either of oneself or a loved one if the mandates enforced were not adhered to, followed by the “just love everyone” or you will suffer persecution, to the present form of despair, of the possibility of the loss of freedoms and the known way of life.
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:” (Rev. 13:16)
The end result of everything mentioned here is obvious, death.
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (John 8:44)
Satan uses people to spread his lies, why they do so could fill entire books, and there are so many of them in these days that even if we felt it was necessary to rebuke them all, we could not.
Here is the point of all this, no one ever dies, everyone ever born will exist forever. It does not matter the path this world takes, what Satan is doing, when the Rapture will happen or when you will die, what matters is where you will spend eternity, and if you tell those that you meet that they are never going to die, you have just opened up an opportunity to tell them how they can live forever.
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1st Cor. 15:55)
We are not bodies with a spirit, we are spirits who at this time inhabit a body. Everyone will exist forever; few will live forever.
When you begin to realize the truth that it is your flesh, your old nature that fears death, you will be able to look at death’s approach in a different way, the fear in a way will still remain, but it will subside.
Perhaps all this was just another way for you to witness to those you meet by telling them they will exist forever.
