● Luke 12:16-21 . . And he told them this parable:

. .The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought to himself: What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops. Then he said: This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I'll say to myself: You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.

. . But God said to him: You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?

. .This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.

It isn't unusual for successful men to leave behind a memorial of themselves in the form of bridges, buildings, highways, schools, dams, monuments, parks, charities, commercial enterprises, and landmarks, etc.

But I hazard to guess that many of those successful men make the very same mistake as the rich man in Jesus' parable, viz: they live out 60, 70, even 80 years of life and when they pass away have nothing over there to show for all their time over here.

● Gen 28:15 . . Remember, I am with you: I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.

Hardly any of those promises were fulfilled in Jacob's lifetime. So how could God say: "I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you"

Well; I think it best to take it that God remained Jacob's provider even in the grave, i.e. when God's people pass away, they don't become dead to Him; whereas when the wicked die, they no longer make any difference; for example:

"As to whether the dead will be raised-- Moses proved this when he wrote about the burning bush. Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, Moses wrote of The Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. So he is the God of the living, not the dead. They are all alive to him." (Luke 20:37-38)

God has always been with Jacob, and never left him even once-- all these many years; better than three-thousand of them by now. And all this whole time Jacob has lived under God's protection because God promised He would protect Jacob wherever he went; and in order for that promise to be meaningful, it has to include the afterlife. (cf. Ps 139:7-10 & Matt 16:18)

● John 5:22 . .The Father has entrusted all judgment to His son

For that reason, people really ought to be scared of Christ because he intends to go about the business of law enforcement no differently than the fire and brimstone practices of the God of the Old Testament, by whom Jesus has been trained to take the reins.

● John 5:19 . . I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

The very first time I was informed of Jesus' return to take over the world, I became nervous because at the time I had a lot to answer for. Well; I didn't know it at then but my anxiety was spot-on.

● Ps 2:7-12 . . I will proclaim The Lord's decree. He said to me: You are my Son; today I have become your Father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.

. .Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve The Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

● Heb 12:29 . . For our God is a consuming fire.

That's a quote from Deut 4:24 which, in context, doesn't describe God's physical characteristics, rather, it's a figure of speech illustrating rage: defined by Webster's as violent and uncontrolled anger. It's hard to imagine Christianity's divine patron ticked off to that extent, but there it is.

* A consuming fire is one that cannot be extinguished, i.e. once it gets going, there's no stopping till all that's aflame is utterly destroyed beyond recognition, viz: a conflagration.
