I don’t even have to leave my house. I just click over to DU.
Hey, I’m not saying this is THE answer, it’s just what works for me...maybe it’ll help, ymmv...
Speaking of Jesus, John said;
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Jhn 1:3
He was in the world, and the world was made by him Jhn 1:10
Paul said Jesus made Worlds;
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 Hbr 1:2
Through faith we understand that the WORLDS were framed by the word of God Hbr 11:3
Isaiah states the reason Jesus made the world;
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else. Isa 45:18
My conclusion?
The WORLDS were not created in vain either, they are inhabited.
We have been told the manner of His return. I believe any perceived or seeming contact can be/ might be caused by the enemy to distract. The enemy does have the power;
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men Rev 13:13
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast Rev 13:14
In the immortal words of Stephen Sondheim, don’t bother, they’re here.
Reminds me of a "Simpsons" episode when I think Lisa was doing a school project along that line, and after a few days, looked at the dish with a magnifying glass and saw some little creature nailing a list of protests on a church door. "Oh my!", she declared, "I've created little Lutherans!" I about sprayed the coffee over that one.
