Only God knows the day of someones death

Recently, a relative died.Another one who is ailing,while everyone was wondering about her, this one out of left field dies!!And it reminded me that,in many cases, if we see an old lady, like 95 years old,and some guy in his 50s, we might "assume" that the old lady will go first,BUT in more than a few cases, I've heard the news that the 50 something guy had a heart attack and died, but the 95 year old lives on!!So it showed me, we can't in our human wisdom figure out what is going to happen. God knows in advance the date of which ones passing;we do not.What we know is what IS revealed, the verses in Revelation which I think of when dealing with the news of a loved ones passing,or seeing the grief of another at the passing of a loved one__"And death shall be no more, neither will there be mourning nor pain.For the former things have passed away."Also, if the Rapture comes first--"Behold, I show you a mystery.We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.The dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord.".Beyond that, knowing the date of departure, and "assuming" that a 55 year old will outlive a 95 year old--that knowledge is in Gods domain.

If you die in the Lord, then you will enter into the holy presence of God to worship Him and adore Him. That is the reason why we should be fasting and praying for all our relatives and friends to get right with God and be ready to see Jesus face to face. He knows when we are gona die and the hour and the place. All we have to do is to be on target on what Jesus said. Follow Me... Jesus is waiting for all of us at the gates of heaven to welcome us in and be with Him forevever and ever. Amen

May Jesus comfort your soul for the death of your relative. We all are on our way to heaven, when we love Jesus with all our heart, mind and soul. Let us all come to Him as we are. He is waiting with open arms. Death is not the ultimate destination, it is the door to enter into the holy presence of Jesus. To see Him as He is and to bow down before Him in adoration and worship for eternity. This is our eternal hope after we depart from planet earth never ever to return again.

None of us should be afraid where we are gona end up when we depart planet eath. None of us should be full of fear or God rejection and let us all go in to hell and burn forever. Be thankful to Jesus for dying on the cross and saving our souls. Yes, death shall be knocking our door sooner or later. It is a knock that will lead us all to heaven. Jesus is calling each and everyone of us. Come home, come home... Ye, who are weary and heavy layden. Come home. Are you hearing Jesus voice today? I hope so.
