100 YEARS FROM NOW !!!*
100 years from now will be the year 2121.
By then, every single reader of this piece will be underground, our bodies having become part of the soil.
During that time, our fate in respect to paradise or hell would have been made known to us.Q3:185
Meanwhile above the soil, our houses that were left behind would have become either homes for others or demolished for better structures. Our clothes would have become destroyed or rags for others and replaced by more recent trends; our cars will be on display as historical artifacts by others or recycled for more advanced technology. Q2:180
But for us, we will be, for the most part, never thought about by anyone again.Q56:60-61
Think of it, how often do you think about your great grandfather? Have you even ever heard about him? How often does your great grandmother cross your mind, if even you’ve ever heard of her?. Q21:34
You see…!
Our presence here on earth today, that presence that we make so much noise about and shed so many tears for, was preceded by countless generations before us and shall be followed by countless generations after us. Q76:28
Every generation that passes through this world barely finds the time to take a glance at the world, before needing to bid it farewell and handing over the baton, having not fulfilled even a fraction of their ambitions.Q25:27-30
Our lives are, in reality, far shorter than we imagine.Q57:20
In 2121, every one of us will realise from within the grave just how worthless this world actually was, and how trivial those dreams were that we centred on.Q29:64
In 2121, every one of us will be wishing that we had dedicated our lives to great matters of God, doing His bid, and devoted ourselves to doing good deeds, particularly those that continue to benefit us after our death.Q28:60
In 2121, some reading this piece will be screaming out, but in vain:
“Lord return me! Give me another chance, so that I may have another opportunity to live for you ..”Q23:99-100
The response to this request, however, shall be:
No! and behind them is now a barrier until that Great Day.”Q55:20
In 2121, many will be in regret, saying:
“I wish that I had prepared for life after my journey on earth.Q31:28
Let us reappraise ourselves, for surely what happened to those we talk of, heard of and read of will surely happen to us. Let us take advantage of today while it is called TODAY.Q59:18
Tomorrow is not yours until it comes. And keeping our faith in God is the ONLY way out.Q18:23-4
I hereby humbly appeal to everyone who is touched by this message to use this opportunity to share this important message to your contacts as part of your personal preaching.
And live your life on this planet earth wisely.Q28:77
