What we were intended to be will be revealed and our treasure in this earthen vessel will be on display. No longer will we have a nemesis who on a daily basis tries to corrupt our very way of life and steal us back into his kingdom of darkness. "The Pits" that King David refers to numerous times in the Psalms are reserved for those of Satan's fallen followers that have made their choice and those of earth that have rejected the "Word of Life" will also fall into those pits. Harsh? Not really.
When you multiply all of the thousands of years of turmoil, wars and deaths of innocents then you can look clearly at the judgements of a God who sees the beginning from the end. Third Reich, Stalinism, Maoism, Rwanda and now Egypt, Tunisia, and North African nations without law.....there is Lawlessness. There was a reason for the 10 Commandments. A given set of morals to live by because we have no guidelines otherwise. Nurture vs. Nature....? Take the old movie Trading places with Eddie Murphy victimizing the clueless and finally becoming a moral person given the chance of a plush living and a different set of circumstances then think Madoff!. Bernie who took millions from trusted friends...then realize it's what's in us that has to change. Fiction vs. reality and Eddie made a very funny movie... just a movie.
The only way it can is with outside intervention...A man who hung on a cross willingly and ...TRADED PLACES.....
