It was majestic in beauty, with its spreading boughs, for its roots went down to abundant waters. Ezekiel 31:7
Egypt’s Pharaohs considered themselves to be immortal and infallible as did their subjects. Egypt was successful, strong, like the tallest and strongest tree in the forrest, sustaining itself from an endless supply of resources only it could access. The prophecy? All things of earth come and pass away, except the things of God.
Look at the verb ‘was’. The second word in this scripture. It speaks volumes. Was…….all gone. The glory of the past is not today, it was……….
This earth will someday become a WAS. I will someday be an earthly WAS! The only sustaining, everlasting resource is Jesus’ love and free gift of eternal life that everyone can access. When time ceases there will never again be a WAS, and until then, do not live for the things of this world, but the things for which time has no hold, ETERNITY.
