NAKED HE CAME

  

Making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.


We are all here living on a limited time basis and we are all running out of it.
I watched the movie EVEREST last week and Rob, the guide from New Zealand preparing his climbers reminded them that once they got to the oxygen depleted heights that their bodies were dying until he got them down to normal atmosphere.
The 35 year old professional climber died trying along with the other US pro, Scott.

The mountain reminded them and all of us how feeble and fragile the haughtiest of man is.
Nepal's Sherpas have a saying;

 "The mountain has the last word."

The truth is that the One who created the mountain 🏔️ the earth 🌎
the Universe ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS has the last word !!!


When we are young we think we have an unlimited supply of this disappearing stuff (time) that even billionaires can't buy.
I'm still wondering where the last 20 years went and there is no way to get back to 47 years old. 
Grey has set in replacing the firey red of my youth.
Events that will make the China virus plague look tame are at the door.
There is no escape as God reminds the little elite gods that they are but dust in His fierce winds of judgment and the wicked reap their long overdue justice ⚖️.
The Judge of the earth 🌎🌍 can no longer be ignored.


As [the man] came forth from his mother’s womb, so he will go again, naked as he came; and he will take away nothing for all his labor which he can carry in his hand.

12 Remember [earnestly] also your Creator [that you are not your own, but His property now] in the days of your youth, before the evil days come or the years draw near when you will say [of physical pleasures], I have no enjoyment in them—

Before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened [sight is impaired], and the clouds [of depression] return after the rain [of tears];

In the day when the keepers of the house [the hands and the arms] tremble, and the strong men [the feet and the knees] bow themselves, and the grinders [the molar teeth] cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows [the eyes] are darkened;

When the doors [the lips] are shut in the streets and the sound of the grinding [of the teeth] is low, and one rises up at the voice of a bird and the crowing of a cock, and all the daughters of music [the voice and the ear] are brought low;

Also when [the old] are afraid of danger from that which is high, and fears are in the way, and the almond tree [their white hair] blooms, and the grasshopper [a little thing] is a burden, and desire and appetite fail, because man goes to his everlasting home and the mourners go about the streets or marketplaces.

[Remember your Creator earnestly now] before the silver cord [of life] is snapped apart, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern [and the whole circulatory system of the blood ceases to function];

Then shall the dust [out of which God made man’s body] return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God Who gave it.

Vapor of vapors and futility of futilities, says the Preacher. All is futility (emptiness, falsity, vainglory, and transitoriness)!

And furthermore, because the Preacher was wise, he [Solomon] still taught the people knowledge; and he pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs.

10 The Preacher sought acceptable words, even to write down rightly words of truth or correct sentiment.

11 The words of the wise are like prodding goads, and firmly fixed [in the mind] like nails are the collected sayings which are given [as proceeding] from one Shepherd.

12 But about going further [than the words given by one Shepherd], my son, be warned. Of making many books there is no end [so do not believe everything you read], and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13 All has been heard; the end of the matter is: Fear God [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is] and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man [the full, original purpose of his creation, the object of God’s providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun] and the whole [duty] for every man.

14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil.

Ecclesiastes 12

And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Mark 9:42




He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Luke 17:2
