Longer than 10^34 Years

Modern physics explains that this whole universe will come to naught or will be completely dead in distant future such as trillion years multiplied by trillion times trillion or more than 10^33 years.

It is also notable that a proton, the major component of any atoms, is expected to collapse in 10^34 years.  It means that there will be no elements and no non-dark materials or no ordinary substances, not to speak of molecules, chemicals, cells, and living things after 10^34 years.

So, in the excessive amount of time, the universe will be completely empty and void while it continues to expand to infinity.  And at the end of time, the universe might finally disappear.   

So, we live just in a very small time frame of the universe.  Everything our ancestors and we have created and our descendants will create will come to nothing.

Indeed, Christ Jesus said: Lu:21:6: As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

So, basically, our life-time is limited.  Even this universe has its own finite life-span.  Our pride and satisfaction acquired in life based on wealth and success will be meaningless.  Even our love and hatred to others will be meaningless.  But our faith and love in God will be meaningful if this universe disappears, since the God is above the material universe.

Yet our history is meaningful that the God sent Christ Jesus in it, specifically 2000 years ago.

The mankind might be extinct in the next 2000 years far before this universe collapses.  But this history of the mankind is meaningful due to its connection with the God.

And after the collapse of this world and universe, the spiritual world should continue to exist, and thus Heaven continues to exist in addition to the hell.  So life of our spirits will be longer than this universe.

Therefore, we should not think that happiness in this world is the most important thing, since it is truly nothing, compared with happiness in Heaven.   

Life in Heaven or the hell will be longer than 10^34 years and more.

Lu:1:19: And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
Lu:1:20: And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Lu:1:21: And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
Lu:1:22: And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

"Art thou that prophet?" - Christ Jesus might Come with Anger

Christ Jesus might Come with Anger

No prophets equivalent to Christ Jesus have appeared in these 2000 years.  And, new religion except Christianity has appeared directly from Jewish people in these 2000 years.

If the God had really wanted to save the mankind and the Jewish people, He should have sent other Christ Jesuses and helped other religions equivalent to Christianity stem from Judaism, although the God gave Islam to some people 1400 years ago.

But if the God had become angry as the mankind killed Christ Jesus, it might have been understood.  If the God was gravely disappointed at the mankind as they could not develop Christianity in a manner and to the degree the God wished, it could be understood.

Some people still think that the God loves them.  Or, others are indifferent with the God's feeling about the mankind.  But the truth may be that good wishes of the God toward the mankind may have been greatly lessened through these 2000 years since the first coming of Christ Jesus to the human world.

Christ Jesus told the mankind to love the God as much as possible.  But Christ Jesus did not assure that the God would continue to love the mankind, no matter what they might do against the will of the God.  Then, our love to the God must be also accompanied by our fear of the God.

Put extremely, if the robots with super-artificial intelligence could be more faithful to the God than the mankind, the God might replace the mankind with robots.  In this context, 1000 years later, robots with super-artificial intelligence might occupy and govern the earth.

Some people still honestly asked the God to help them; however the God might have gotten angry at the mankind long time ago.  Yet, if the God had really promised that Christ Jesus would come to the human world in the second time, He should come.   

But Christ Jesus might come with any anger in the future.

Joh:1:19: And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
Joh:1:20: And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
Joh:1:21: And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
