"The next point I wish to consider is the process by which the world shall pass away. Of that first world we read, “The world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire” (II Pet. 3:6-7). The fact that the water which destroyed that first world was literal leads some to believe that the fire which shall destroy this present world must also be literal — but this by no means follows. The temple of God once was of literal stones, but that does not set aside the fact that the body of Christ, which is now the true temple, is built up a spiritual building, a holy temple, not made with hands. Noah’s ark was literal too, but it typified Christ who is now our hiding place and the mighty resurrection power of Him who will save the sons of God from the loss of this perishing world and which, through them, shall replenish and renew humanity. Almost all things under the old covenant were outward, natural, and literal; almost all things under the new covenant are inward, spiritual, and supernatural! Think of it!"
Much more in the link.........this one is outstanding:
Did You know Jack and the beanstalk is one of satan's types of Jacob's ladder? Think about that one's long and hard before you answer.
"there have been many “worlds” and each and every one of them has been destroyed. There was the exceeding wicked Antediluvian world. Then there was the Patriarchal world. There was the Babylonian world, the Medo-Persian world, the Grecian world, the Roman world, the Medieval world, and many other worlds of lesser duration and glory. They are all gone. They have each in turn “gone into perdition — destruction.” Even their languages, for the most part, have perished from the earth. Their culture has disappeared. Their gods and goddesses have no thrones today. Their temples and their altars lie in ruins. Their religious ceremonies and sacrifices and priestly ministrations have all been silenced. The scripture has come true which long ago was spoken by Jeremiah. “The gods which have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens” (Jer. 10:11). Where now are the gods worshipped by our European ancestors? Where are Wodin and Thor and other Nordic deities who even gave their names to the days of the week still observed by the Western world? Where is the worship of the host of heaven — sun, moon, and stars?"
Okay, so anyway, the analogy to Jack and the beanstalk is that it is a fairy tale much like what Preston Eby has published.
The kingdom of God is not a fairytale Andy, it the Christians reality, it's where we dwell, it is the view from which we look at the world system, that shall be destroyed, in us first, and the completely and utterly. Praise God!
Wait a minute here, the other day you said we couldn't sin because we were spirits, now today, the sinful system has to be removed from us. Which is it?
