Biblical Numerology: NUMBER TWO – Part XIV

TWO WORLDS, TWO SCHOOLS, THE HERE AND HEREAFTER

“If you would be a saint in heaven, you must first be a saint on earth.” And no one need  die first and wait for the church-invented process for sainthood to kick in, for, “Heaven is to begin on this earth.  When the Lord’s people are filled with meekness and tenderness, they will realize that His banner over them is love, and His fruit will be sweet to their taste. They will make a heaven below in which to prepare for heaven above.” (Words in quotes by E. G. White, Sons & Daughters, p. 112)

 In the real, eternity-determining grand scheme of things, according to God’s Word, this fallen, cursed world of ours—the one planet in rebellion throughout the perfect universe, is not a grand parade-ground, a dream-like stroll through the park, a glitzy fashion show, a pull-out-the-stops party place, a global carnival, a romantic cruise through the warm tourists spots, or a winter wonderland—although the master deceiver wants it so perceived and imagined. Ask all who are suffering; they’ll tell you the stark truth by experience.
