I've been listening to the new album by Phillips, Craig, and Dean, "Breathe In". The one that stood out to me the most is the song "When the stars fall down". With all the war, politics, and violence all around us, it can be hard to lose sight of the goal. The cool thing is, I've read the end of the book, and God wins. And we will spend eternity with him in a new world that is not contaminated with sin. This song reminded me of that. It feels like a little bit of Heaven practice:
When the stars burn down and the earth wears out
And we stand before the throne
With the witnesses who have gone before
We will rise and all applaud
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
When the hands of time wind fully down
And the earth is rolled up like a scroll
The trumpets will call and the world will fall
To its knees as we all go home
Star of the morning, Light of salvation
Majesty
God of all mysteries, Lord of the universe
Righteous King
There will come a day standing face to face
In a moment, we will be like Him
He will wipe our eyes dry, take us up to His side
And forever we will be His
Can't wait...
Out of curiosity... have you ever heard of the gap theory and if so, what do you think of it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing that up, I'll post on it shortly.
ReplyDeleteAs a quick response, in my opinion the gap theory is full of holes. When I post on it further, I'll expound on some the major ones. Basically, to get the gap theory from the Bible, you have to come at it with preconceived notions of an old earth, and then re-interpret the Word of God to fit those notions. That is very dangerous.
