Egypt’s Miserable Heaven

Friday, December 15, 2023

The Egyptians thought paradise was an underworld, a terrifying place. If you were good, you would be put in charge of keeping dams and canals in good repair. The Egyptian version of paradise was road work! They took the present miserable life that they had and projected it onto paradise. With God, it’s the opposite. In God, it’s not just about waiting for paradise. Heaven is so awesome that it spills over and affects earthly life. It’s so great that it touches here and now. It’s on earth as it is in heaven. For the pagan world, the present life spills over into the future. For the believer, the future life spills over to here and now. It transforms our present life. Live in the heavenly now. Dwell now in the heavenly. Rejoice and learn to get the joy of heaven now, because heaven is too big to be kept only for then. Heaven is so great, that it will change your life. If you will seek it, receive it and walk in it, then it’s here and now that the heavenly life begins for you. 

From Message #649 – The Other Paradise 
Scripture: Matthew 16:19
