RE: Is There Such A Thing As "Blessed Forgetfulness?" ✝️A Biblical Meditation✝️
Really, really spot on and well done!
This whole version of Creation was implemented to prove a Point for all time to all the host of Heaven, so I'm sure God doesn't want us to forget that. Jesus will bear the scars of the cross for all eternity, lest we forget.
Further evidence that we won't be allowed to forget:
Isaiah 66:24
And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from sabbath to sabbath, All mankind will come to bow down before Me," says the LORD. "Then they will go forth and look on the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm will not die and their fire will not be quenched; and they will be an abhorrence to all mankind."
Not a pretty picture, but a reminder for all eternity of the consequences of rebellion.
Hi, Stan,
Thanks for stopping by.
I'm smiling, both at your support for my article, and at your reminder of our earlier, lengthy discussion.
One of these days, when I can find that elusive "round tuit" again, I hope to write an actual article or series on the nature of eternal punishment... I'll just leave it at a very simple repartee here:
What is it they will look at? Oh, yeah... corpses of men... ;)
Blessings upon you, my friend! :)
Unfeeling corpses do not worry about unquenchable fire and undying worms.
But those who love the Lord will not think of these things for the reasons you suggest in your wonderful article.
Don't worry - they're not worrying. As corpses, they're dead... being devoured by worms and consumed by fire... ;)
