No More Night

  The world's best scientists tell us that the earth will meet its end when the sun expands to such a point that it consumes the earth within its girth.
  But we already knew that, didn't we?  Thousands of years ago, the apostle John tells us in Revelation what the end will look like--the earth will be consumed in the light of God.  There will be no more night, he says, because God himself will be our light.  There will be no more darkness, because the light of God's grace and love will envelop every corner of the renewed and redeemed earth.  There will be no more shadowy corners where evil lurks, because evil will have been destroyed.  The light of God will be all there is.
  We will be swallowed up by grace, and of this state, there will be no end.  What science has recently learned has been lurking in the pages of Scripture for years, ready and available to all those willing to learn.
