Earth

God gave us this world and told Adam the first man... to dress it and to keep it, but I do not believe that we have done a good job with what our Lord has given us.

Genesis 2:15 ►
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Certainly, we can understand that the original plan was for people to live in peace with no wars. There was to be no pollution or crime.

Humans built many small towns near rivers.

Archeologists will often find some human remains in caves. Often these specimens are from thousands of years ago. Regular people can find arrowheads made of stone near rivers. Back then humans were killing animals and each other. This was not a part of the original plan that God gave us.

Genesis 1:29-30 ►
Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Notice that Adam and Eve were to be vegan. Also, in the beginning, animals ate green plants and did not attack each other like they do now. God wanted all of us to live together in peace. That was God's plan anyway. However, people started to eat meat later on. This is because Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and thus God place on them a curse.

Let us be clear that our Lord does not want us to live in sin. This is why we live in a fallen world that is full of crime.

It is so sad to see... the terrible state our world is now in. Actually, it use to be so beautiful thousands of years ago. Back then, before Adam's fall from grace, the world looked similar to how God's paradise does now.

Let us do what God says. He can take us to a much better place that he is currently building for us.

John 14:2-3 ►
In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.

Jesus tells his followers that He is going to build a place for us. That is awesome news. Oh yes, he is coming back to take us. Then we will be with Him forever and ever.

I believe this place is in the Paradise of God where He is taking us. Oh yes, it will be quite different than the cities that we live in now.

I do look forward to seeing this day and tell you - Jesus is coming soon.

Fellow brothers and sisters, I do believe that religion and artificial intelligence could be in a war. Already, there are many college graduates who claim they do not believe in God, but trust in science.

Well, this is a logical next step for Satan to use. After all, he wants people to stop worshipping God and do remember that he wanted Eve to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Please remember where that got us.

Genesis 3:3-5 ►
but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’ ” “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her. “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Satan told Eve a lie and we do die. The fact that Adam and Eve did not obey God's direct commands has consequence for all of us now.

God has a backup plan for us. He says that the Tree of Life is in the paradise of God - right now.

Revelation 2:7 ►
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant him to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.

God wants us to overcome. What does that statement even mean? It means to overcome sin. God does not want people who are active in sin... to live forever in His paradise, because it would not be paradise any more.

Instead, God wants us to overcome. That is the key for us. Notice this Tree of Life is not for spirit beings that do not die, but for flesh and blood people like us.

Our Lord can reverse a curse. That is what He wants for us. Do not believe Satan and all his lies. Remember that the Tree of Knowledge brought us death and we need to eat from the Tree of Life.

Satan use to convince people to worship idols made of wood many years ago. Well, he now wants us to worship electronic machines that are short on delivery and long on promise.

OK, so living in this world is certainly not fun for us. Yeah, it can be a major pain. God can take us to a better one.

Being in nature is a lot more pleasurable for us. I do like to see greenery. It is calm and serene. Basically, it make us feel at peace.
