“ARE THERE ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSES?”
The multiverse is a term that
some scientists use to
describe the idea that beyond the observable universe … other
universes
may exist.
Dear Reader, I have an unsaved friend
who thinks that when he
dies, he will slip into one of these alternative universes … and then flit
from one to another … you know … like some sort of a free agent …
“Look at
me! Whoopeeee! I’m flying across time and through the universes.” Is
this true?
There are ‘alternative’ universes …
but the Bible calls these “the
worlds” as follows ….
“Hath
in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed
heir of
all things, by whom also he made the worlds;” (Hebrews 1:2)
“Through
faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of
God, so
that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
(Hebrews
11:3)
Now in
the mouth of two or three witnesses (Matthew 18:16) we establish that
these
worlds are the various heavens and hells … at least three
hells and at least three heavens ….
“For
a
fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell,
and
shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the
foundations of
the mountains.” (Deuteronomy 32:22)
“For
great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the
lowest hell.” (Psalm 86:13)
If
there
were only two hells, the scriptures would say … the lower hell.
Indeed
Paul speaks of three heavens as follows …
“I
knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I
cannot
tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an
one
caught up to the third heaven.”
(2 Corinthians 12:2)
Now
these
worlds are not to be confused with the term “the ages” which
are
the different dispensations of earth’s lineal time (Ephesians 2:7; 3:5,21).
So
let’s
count how many worlds that ‘were, are and are to
come’ …
1. God
created the heaven (not heavens) and the earth
(Genesis 1:1) …
there’s two (2)
2.
Within
this heaven there are three heavens (2 Corinthians 12:2) …
there’s three
(3)
3. Abraham’s
bosom (now ceased) (Luke 16:23) … separate from hell …
there’s two (2)
4.
There
are at least three hells in hell (Psalm 86:13) … there’s three
(3)
5.
There
is the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14) … there’s one (1)
6.
There
is the new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:1) …
there’s two
(2)
That
makes thirteen worlds … or as the world would say thirteen
multiverses.
I know
which ‘multiverse’ my unsaved friend will enter upon death … then he
will ‘flit’
from there into the everlasting lake of fire (Revelation 20:10) …
no more
flitting after that!
Yes … it’s unbelievable Dear Reader,
the mind tricks that Satan
uses to eliminate the fear of a burning hell after death.
Dear Reader … how about you? (1 John 5:13)
