Title: The Time Machine

Blog Entry: In 1896, H.G. Wells published a book titled The Time Machine, an imaginative tale of a scientist who builds a machine that can transport someone through time. The time traveler is preoccupied with the future, not the past. Like many scientists, he believes "progress" will enable the human race to build a better world. Yet in Wells' book, this science-fiction story does not have a happy ending. The protagonist travels millions of years into the future. There the world has grown cold and dark. As a bleak snow falls, he sees the last remnants of life awaiting extinction. Thoroughly sickened by the twilight of life on our planet, the scientist returns to the time of his origin to report his anguish. The biblical view of the future is very different. It tells us that God is Lord over time itself: "With the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" (2 Peter 3:8). We can be optimistic about the future because God will replace our world with a new one. In that new heaven and new earth we will experience blessed fellowship with our Creator for eternity (Rev. 21:1-4). Even now, Jesus is preparing a place for those who love Him (John 14:1-3), a place where "there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying" (Rev. 21:4).---Dennis Fisher If God has made this world so fair, How beautiful beyond abound, How beautiful beyond compare Will paradise be found! ---Montgomery JESUS IS PREPARING A PLACE FOR US AND PREPAIRING US FOR THAT PLACE. ~Nina's Corner~ I for one can't wait to meet Jesus, I often wonder what a life without death, crying, worrying and all that other stuff would be like. I imagine it's sorta like that moment in your life when you have no cares and are in a comfortable place to just relax and meditate on how wonderful life is. But I don't know because it will be like nothing I've experienced before, I don't know about anyone else but I'm ready to go.
