Over the last few months we have looked at the writings of some of the so-called “minor” prophets. The visions deal with various events in Old Testament history and predict some much more recent happenings but they all boil down to what we have previously said – “mess with God and you will know about it”. God has a plan; He knows what has happened, what is happening and what will happen. He is always with us; we cannot second guess Him nor change what He has ordained. We cannot do what we want and assume we can make it right with God later. He sees it all now.
A couple of weeks ago the newspapers and news broadcasts were full of the experiment taking place at CERN, in Switzerland. Using something called the Large Hadron Collider, scientists proposed recreating the seconds after the “big bang”. Many people were predicting the creation of a black hole and the destruction of the universe – but nothing happened and it all went very quiet. Now the people involved have admitted that the machinery broke down within twenty-four hours – equipment that cost millions of pounds and took decades to build. I think God had other ideas about what they were doing!
This week we have been told of an experiment to discover if the floating-over-the-scene, out-of-body experiences of people on the brink of death can tell us what happens when we die. Learned professors have put upward facing pictures on shelves at ceiling height in resuscitation cubicles and intend asking the survivors if they saw them. It has been done before and nothing was proved – when our time comes we will find out what happens, we do not need to know before then. All we need to do is continue to study the Bible, follow God’s instructions and keep praying in Faith.
