"The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's : but the earth hath he given to the children of men." Psalms 115:16
American Culture is very much monkey see, monkey do. This is why when someone makes the statement that, people are not in heaven, many Christians behave as if going to heaven is how to get close to Jesus.
If this is your first time reading this blog, try an open your mind to the possibility that maybe, just maybe, Jesus the created the earth to be inhabited... As hinted to in the opening scripture; we all agree that our God is Not vain, so first, does the Bible speak on the explicit purpose of the Earth?
“For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:18
Our 2nd witness is the prophet Isaiah, which confirmed the earth was created for us to live here. This is why everything that we eat comes from the earth. We have various minerals in our bodies that we need in order to live (iron, zinc etc.). The earth is 75% water and humans are approximately 70% water.
This could be a hint as to where we are expected to spend eternity.
Now, let's let the Bible speak, as we ask the million dollar question where does Jesus Christ want to live?
"The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it." Psalms 132:11-14
Let's break here for a check. Consider the magnitude of these words. Consider the greatness of both The Lord, who he was talking to and what He said:
Not only did God choose Jerusalem (Zion) the Bible actually says that Jerusalem would be God's REST, FOREVER, just because that is what His desire is...
The Earth is where the creator wants to chill and take it easy!!
And I again ask a question: Why would you want to Go2 Heaven, When Jesus is coming to the earth???
I'd much rather be with God, than to be in heaven. #Ijs

Dope post. The irony in this is that it is largely what some other religions believe. That we don't go to heaven after death. That we lie in wait for the return where those chosen for everlasting life will live in paradise on earth.
ReplyDeleteWhich religions are you referring to? All of the ones I am aware of, talk about going to heaven Definitely two out of the three
