( Wisdom 4 explains it, this way)
The premature death of a virtuous man/women
The virtuous man, though he die before his time, will find rest.
Length of days is not what makes age honorable,
nor number of years the true measure of life;
understanding, this is man's grey hairs,
untarnished life, this is ripe old age.
He has sought to please God, so God has loved him;
as he was living among sinners, he has been taken up.
He was carried off so that evil may not warp his understanding
or treachery seduce his soul;
for the fascination of evil throws good things into the shade,
and the whirlwind of desire corrupts a simple heart.
Coming to perfection in so short a while, he achieved long life;
his soul being pleasing to the Lord,
he has taken him quickly from the wickedness around him.
Yet people look on uncomprehending;
it does not enter their heads
that grace and mercy await the chosen of the Lord,
and protection, his holy ones.
The virtuous man dies condemns the godless who survive,
and youth's untimely end the protracted age of the wicked.
These people see a wise man's ending
without understanding what he Lord has in store for him
or why he has taken him to safety;
they look on and sneer,
but the Lord will laugh at them.
Soon they will be corpses without honour,
objects of scorn among the dead forever.
The Lord will dash them down headlong, dumb.
He will tear them from their foundations,
they will be utterly laid waste,
anguish will be theirs,
and their memory shall perish.
Now, do you understand what that means.... Everything you say, do, don't say, don't do, is reflected in your character...We are made in the image of God, to imitate him in thoughts and actions. It's not about me, me, me... we're all different people, different likenesses in a world that has evolve for many years. Coming and going, born and die, child and adult, men and women, etc... No one is destined for hell, no matter how bad, or whatever skeletons, secrets,
devises we might have or be imprisoned by. God gives us every opportunity to seek him and his forgiveness. Only the self centered, arrogant, mindless people will seal their fate. But it is also written that up into the eleventh hour, the last breath, we can be forgiven and change. So with that what is your excuse? Do you really believe we were put here, so many countries, so many different people to live amongst each other to just evolve and revolve with no purpose or being. Do you or should I say, really believe or coherced to believe there is nothing after this life? Don't play the fool, God wants you in heaven and the Devil will do everything to prevent that. Your soul is no for sale, it is not yours to sell....The day will come when the crap will hit the fan, look around you, the news, weather, people's attitude, thinking, selfishness, all trying to play their own God and destiny. God help them, or maybe it's our ob, duty to pray for them, your neighbors, family, friends, your enemies! I wouldn't want to be them, right or wrong, playing with fire you will get burned, do even think you can imagine Hell, it's everything you don't want it to be. If I wrong, we die into oblivion, go will Aliens maybe MARS, Venus, go to a place were once you get there you come back and tell anyone what hate truth is....But I assure you there is a Heaven and a Hell, God and the Devil, it's just people call them by different names and color their own pictures. I know where I'm going, do you ?! You don't have to be a Saint to go to heaven, but don't fool yourself if the life your living is questionable your going to have a hell of an experience!
