A palace for you in the galaxies (John 14:1-28)

A palace for you in the galaxies (John 14:1-28)
Luke 21:25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you. Think as humans if God, Satan, human beings, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Israel, USA, UK, any of the dangerously power drunk world super powers triggers the unthinkable now and tumbles the world into destruction, where will you be? Ok that is too big, too much even though very close, if you die now say you grow old and die or whatever what hope do you have beyond the stinking, slippery dark grave? Any hope?
Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Ok Jesus said I am going to prepare a place for you. I like this because it is reliable. It is reliable because other things he said are happening as exactly as he said they would be.
2Corinthians 1:18
But as
God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
He said there would be unending wars, it is so. He predicted several end time signs, we are seeing them.
Matthew 24:4
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
He said he would die and rise again, the world had just finished celebrating the remembrance of that in Easter. Now he said I would go and prepare a place for you.
Mark 10:32
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, 33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: 34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Let us think as normal humans. God may just not need to create another earth if he so wishes. All he had to do is renovate one of the galaxies/planets and make it inhabitable. Just think as an ordinary person, he can give your resurrected body the substances needed to be able to survive in the mass, Pluto or any of the galaxies.
1Corinthians 15:37
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There are all indications that this present world was not inhabitable shortly after it was created until God put other things in place. The world is even very old now and seriously overused and probably could wear out any time. You wouldn’t like to wear out with the old world. Would you?
1John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Don’t go out before you make adequate preparations for the great beyond.
For all manner and purposes, death remains an unbeatable checkpoint and a great enigma to all human wits. It has beaten all philosophers hollow, baffled all scientists and rendered all inventions insufficient.
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 1Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
The only power and person that has offered a better hope beyond the demise is Jesus Christ and his message. Yield to Christ and you will have a mansion in wherever he choses to prepare for his own. God bless you.
