The End is Near

It is crazy when you hear that Turkey, Russia, etc have a grudge against Israel. And it's surprising to hear that Israel just found over a BILLION barrels of oil! And with all those earthquakes--first in Haiti, then in Chili, then in Turkey, and all those MUDSLIDES in CHINA...you know the earth is falling apart. I used to be scared about when this would happen, but since I read Randy Alcorn's Heaven, I haven't been scared at all. The book tells of the reward of Christains that accept Christ before the rapture. Life wouldn't be boring. We would be able to explore the Universe, our senses will be strengthened, and we'll be able to explore the whole earth without the danger of getting hurt! There's much more.
I quote what Anthony Hoekema said: "God will make the new earth His dwelling place....Heaven and Earth will then no longer be seperated as they are now, but they will be one. But to leave the new earth out of consideration when we think of the final state of believers is greatly to impoverish biblical teaching about the life to come."
I find it just amazing that life will be burden free once we start our grand adventure on the New Earth. I've always wanted to go on an adventure that would somehow help the destiny of Canada. Well it seems that kind of adventure will never come true to me, so I've given up hope for such a thing to happen to me as I bound to this sinfull world. But when we are remade, we'll be able explore space, see new animals created. John Piper said, "God promises that the glory of his people will demand a glorious creation to live in. So the fallen creation will obtain the very freedom from futility and evil and pain that the church is given. So when God makes all things new, He makes us new spiritually and morally, He makes us new physically, and then He makes the whole creation new so that our evironment fits our perfected spirits and bodies."
To think about being genetically engineered might scare some people, but think about this...God's genetic engineering will not change our appearence--it'll make us better!
So if people who read this post after the rapture, believe every word I've said.
