What will it be like the day, hour, and second when eternity breaks through the plumb line of time, and ushers in all truth, destiny and promise? When the shackles of refrain have been unleashed, and all shall be revealed and made known to the one, time was gifted. To the “unbeliever” there is no way to excuse this reality for physical death is - as promised to humanity as “birth itself”. For from dust you came, and dust you shall return.


And how about to the “believer”, the hour when all your actions, motives and words will be made known. When the maker and judge of the universe which you considered your friend is standing with fire in his eyes, the fire that refines gold and burns away all falsehood. Will you be like John, Daniel, and Isaiah who fell prostrate to the ground and in weakness viewed with Godly fear the Eternal God who will judge all, godly and ungodly, believer and nonbeliever, saint and sinner - he will judge all and give to each man with just scales.

What will he find, and say of you - well done my faith-full servant?

I purge my views and think it not wise - to live life with no fear of God, that I may be surprised by my disqualification of eternal peace because of my interpretation of time.

Matthew 24:36-45

36 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. 45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant........

What is this strange thing? The numeric value that is given to the paper, for which man makes and dresses with color, that cometh from the created tree.


What has corrupted the conscience of man that he has valued himself, others, and life according to this painting? For who was the first to find and consider this artistic talent, and what was in his heart that he would consider himself superior and prosperous over others because of this gift of art?


He made images out of this wood taken from the tree, which he was told not to do by his Creator, and began to worship its beauty and value. He said in his heart “look at what my hands have made”, and was found to be proud of his work. He saw how everyone valued his art and how they wanted one just like it for themselves. So, he decided to devise a way to profit from their vanities and began to carve images of animals and men on this piece of wood taken from the tree.

He found beauty in all the works of his hands, and became enamored at the image of “self” and decided to find the strongest, mightiest, and most handsome of those among his tribe, that he would honor men with a signet seal of a king.

For now, he said, “We must distinguish ourselves because of our talent, and divide ourselves from amongst our kinsmen so we may have an advantage on them and establish dominion over them”. For now on, a new time has come, where men should be awed at our victories, images, and structures and should measure themselves according to our standards and art form. So the man was given a number and value by others as property to be controlled and sold in the gallery of nations, and the eternal value of a man was minimized to an image on a paper, which is now easier to carve from this piece of wood found from the created tree.

For his ability to build, to draw and design has become exalted in his own eyes, and his artwork and gift was given the power of a creator as though a god.

Mark 12:13-17

13Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words. 14They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax b to Caesar or not? 15Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”

But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. 17Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” And they were amazed at him.

The courts, the Holy place, the Holy of Holies, and even the ark of the covenant can be found residing amidst your life.


For you are the temple of the living God and your body is the borders that adorn the outer courts. Your soul is that place where the lamp of God is lite and the showbread is offered creating the tasteful aroma needed daily so that your prayers of incense can abide and reside. And finally, the Holy of Holies is that sacred place where God writes his words and covenants on your heart. Where you and the Spirit of God have communion and he speaks with you, to you and within you.


You are the temple of the living God!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
