The Deal of All Deals!
.
Part 1

Can you imagine what would happen if a new car dealership put an ad on TV saying that they would take in your broken-down old jalopy of a car, in trade for a brand-new deluxe Rolls Royce limousine?
.
And you wouldn’t even owe them one nickel extra!?
.
Well, as you can imagine, there would be a mob surrounding that dealership, in less than ten minutes, frantically trying to make that straight-across trade!
.
But who would be crazy enough to do such a thing?

.
GOD IS DOING JUST THAT!
.
Well, in essence, that is exactly what God is offering each and every person on this worn-out old planet!
.
Yes, that’s right!
.
God is offering to anyone, a chance to trade in this worn-out, broken-down, utterly hopeless old jalopy-of-a-world, for a gloriously happy world that will never wear out!

A BRAND-NEW JOY-EVERLASTING WORLD!
.
Yes, the Lord has been offering us a really great deal!
.
That’s right, God wants us to trade-in this horrible, worn-out old jalopy-of-a-world, in a straight-across trade…
.
…in exchange for a world which is just the mirror-opposite of this unhappy, “Bizarro-world”!
.
And in that soon-coming world, there won’t be any wars.
.
Nor will there be any soul-robbing drugs, murders, or rapes, or addictions, or homelessness, or thefts, or perversions, or religious/political persecution, or any of the really awful stuff that goes on in this old world!

A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK & HONEY
.
And that Promised Land awaits our arrival!
.
And it is a good land!
.
A land flowing with milk and honey, and orchards and vineyards and hills and valleys, and rivers and trees, and children playing, without worry and without danger!
.
And the really wonderful thing is, that this coming world will never grow old!
.
And there we will be forever young!

“OLD WILY’S” CAR LOT!
.
But in order for us to make that trade, we have to trade-in this world of selfishness.
.
And that’s just too much for most people to part with!
.
And so, like that rich young ruler, who walked away from Jesus’ invitation, we too turn away!
.
But then we spot a car-lot across the street!
.
Yes, just over there is another car dealer!
.
And he tells us that we can have that same deluxe Rolls Royce, and keep our old jalopy too!
.
Yes, that wily serpent-of-old, makes us believe that we can serve God, and still hang on to our old selfish idols too!
.
And the Devil tells us that we can have both worlds! “Only believe”, he says! “You don’t have to give up all your idols! You can keep the less-offensive idols! God’s grace will allow you to have Heaven and this world too!”
.
But it’s all just a lie!

.
ALL ABOARD!
.
But the really Good News is this: God still stretches out His hands, in offering His incredible deal!
.
Yes, we can still make that trade!
.
That brand-new, deluxe joy-everlasting world is still waiting for us and for our family too!
.
We don’t have to make this dying world our final resting place!
.
We can make that trade, if we so-choose!
.
And the Gospel Ship is still waiting for its final departure!
.
And there is room aboard, for anyone willing to make that trade!
.
This dying world, for an exciting and intriguing world which will never grow old!
.
An adventurous world of joy-everlasting, and beauty incomprehensible!
.
Where the roses never die, nor fade away!
.
Now, that’s a pretty good trade! Wouldn’t you agree?
.

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away…
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”
1st John 21:1, 4

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…
for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.”
Joel 3:14

.
LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…
.
Look eastward in the early summer through fall.
.
Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing.
.
In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left.
.
In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three snowcapped mountains when facing eastward.
.
Then find the next snowcap to its right (south).
.
Then go a little further south to the third snow-cap, the Destroying Mountain Constellation.
.
(Needless to say, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).
