● Gen 3:19 . . For dust you are, and to dust you will return.
It's boggling to contemplate the number of people who came and went before we
all came along.
Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you
love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who
ever was, lived out their lives on that mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam-- every
hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of
civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and
father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt
politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the
history of our species lived here. (Adapted From Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot)
The Earth is a literal death star, flying thru space, looping around and around the
Sun many times over and again: a floating cemetery whose soils and seas are filled
with the dead from many centuries stretching back to Abel: the first of its
passengers to return to the dust from whence they came.
● Eccl 7:2 . . It is better to spend your time at funerals than at festivals. For you
are going to die, and you should think about it while there is still time.
Ergo: The time for people to be thinking about the afterlife is not when they get
there, but before they get there.
