[Report This]Date: October 03 2011 12:30 PM Title: Chapter 12: THE GARDEN OF LIVE TOWER
This cliff-hanger reminds me of one of my paternal grandfather's pieces of wisdom.
"Man, born of woman, has but a short time to live. His life filled with trials and tribulations. He springeth up, like a blade of grass. Then, gets cut down...like a horse's ass."
Author's Response:
I think he's paraphrasing the Bible book of Ecclesiastes (which some scholars think was written by Solomon himself under God's guidance), which tells of how short lived and meaningless life is, unless you're involved with God the creator. The book's comments on state of the dead bring me much comfort too. No eternal torment. Just sleeping in the ground until Jesus returns and raises the Christian dead to heaven and the non-Christian dead to annihilation. The false teaching of eternal torment is one of the strongest fuels for the atheist movement.
Of course, I prefer the positive alternative of starting an eternal relationship with Jesus in this life.
Still, having put my sermonette in the story notes, I didn't think I'd be lucky enough to be cued for another in a review. Hope Chapter 13-16 ends this part of the saga on (gts pun coming here) another HIGH note.
