---For Paul and other people living in the Bible, the earth and its opportunities is and was just a halfway Motel.

---It was a short time resting and refreshment.

---Or it was suffering, pain, hunger and coldness. Like Paul in 2 Corinthians 11:24-33.

---But through it all, like Job, Paul said that he is focused on one goal. The ultimate reward in Christ.

---When Christ comes He will give them their resurrection and eternal life. That is the greatest meaning and goal of the humans of the Bible and their living.

---Why are they living? To go. Go where? To heaven. How? Through Christ. When? At the Second Coming. When is that? Only the Father knows exactly. He will announce. But it may be soon because Christ said to Daniel that when there is a Time of Trouble before the Second Coming then there will be plaques falling on the wicked of the earth, it should be soon after that.

---Can we have an idea of the nearness of the Coming? Yes.

---Does it not look around like many of the signals are here? Isaiah 24 says at the end time there will be migrations. There will be the poor in power and the rich suffering. It will be a world without leadership. Is that what is going on now?

---Says Jesus that there will be wars and roamers of wars and pestilences and earthquakes and other nature events. Is it?

---Morally there will be violence, corruption [banks?] and lawlessness. Lovers of themselves more than lovers of God.

---What should I do? Focus on the Bible, prayer and deepen your relationship with God moment by moment. The time is now.

---In 690 BC Sennacherib came to Lachish west of Jerusalem and besieged it. In the city was the brother of Eljakim who was in charge of Hezekiah’s palace (2 Kings 18:18). Jehazarah. Their father was Hilkiah also worked for the palace before retirement. But in that moment, Sennacherib ordered the destruction of the city and sat in a narrow space on his throne and watched it destroyed. And at that moment Jehazarah died. His seal impression was found in a dipper goblet in the ash of Lachish by Southern University archaeologists who worked with Israelis there. His moment came. The seal reads “belonging to Eljakim [image of two deers] Jehazarah” What about you?

---We do not know how long and when. So we must prepare our lives now. Right?
