A railroad to the sun; how interesting. This is the first time that I have seen this, but the author of the picture had seen it before and waited and waited and waited to see it again. I am glad he shared this.
We are near the end of 2020, with only the remainder of today and tomorrow remaining; frankly, I am very glad, for this has been a tough year for so many of us. December is a month for reflection and soon January will be here. I have always found it interesting that the symbol for January is that of two men, one looking towards the past and the other the future.
All these things refer to time and the changes that naturally occur. The Bible says a lot about time too…
Ecclesiastes 3 ( World English Bible )
1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Revelation 12 ( WEB )
7 There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.
8 They didn’t prevail, neither was a place found for him any more in heaven.
9 The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
11 They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.
2 Corinthians 6 ( WEB )
1 Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,
2 for he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you, in a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
Solomon said that everything has a time; this is so true. Although he was referring to things relating to our physical existence, still, there is a spiritual application as well. There is a time that all evil will be overcome and never to rise again. There is a time when we as human beings will have to make a choice between Jesus or the world. Like the quote from Paul’s 2nd letter to the Corinthians says… At an acceptable time I listened to you, in a day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
The only thing remaining to be said is: What will you do about Jesus- TODAY?
