God’s Heaven
Of course you expect to GO to Heaven when you die. We all do. As a matter of fact, everyone hopes to go to Heaven and meet the other members of the family who have passed on.
Take my advice: make a reservation. Heaven is becoming very crowded, and it is doubtful whether you can get in.
People go to Heaven to meet their mother, and father, and relatives, but if we take twenty-five years as a generation, we will find that there have been seventy-nine generations since the time of Christ.
And if we count only your parents, their parents, their parents’ parents, and so on, you will have to meet 302,231,454,903,657,293,676,543 different relatives. So, it’s going to be difficult to find your dear Mom and Dad there.
Our little world would not hold that stupendous number.
If that number of people were on earth, they would make a pile of 113,236 miles high over the earth’s surface. If you climbed at 8 miles a day you would reach your grandfather about thirty-nine years later. Of course you can slide down faster and you should reach your place back about fifty years after you left it.
That is two generations. Then, by the time you are back to your place, your own children will be looking for you. You really couldn’t expect anybody to hold your place for you for fifty years, so you are going to have a hell of a time in Heaven.
People used to think Heaven was infinite, but Saint John records its limits in the Bible. He says that Heaven is about 15 miles long in each dimension. Evidently, Heaven was filled up several hundred years ago – or about the time Columbus was discovering America.
What to do?
Obviously there is no way out. You must die sometime, and science it is so evident that you cannot go to Heaven, where should you go?... Dare say it!
