Has anyone considered, that 7 years of prosperity, and 7 years of famine.

[RandomThoughts]

Is also about storing treasures in heaven?


Most things true are true in many different ways.

1. Spirit and science provide two different perspectives to see truth. nt

2. I think we had about 7 or so years of prosperity in the late 1990s to about 1999/2000 ...

... so then it would seem that we would have endured famine through about 2006/2007.

3. I only consider the bible when...

...considering things which aren't true. In fact religion is the first thing which comes to mind when I hear the word "falsehood".

4. I think I can safely say I have never considered that.

How does one store treasures in heaven? What kind of treasures did you imagine while writing this OP? Will some people in heaven have more treasures than others?

5. prosperity..while millions starve to death?

hell can also store a lot of "treasures", a lot more than even the greediest man could dream of.

"Most things true are true in many different ways" - prosperity can mean a few well armed men and lots of unarmed ones, a lot of armed men leads to lots of "prosperity", it's good to be king, all the soldiers, judges, security help the king become more Prosperous. Think of education, computers, bankers can use them to become more prosperous.

depends on who you call king, being right inside a 7 year famine might be the better deal and it sure beets being in hell, where the king (or Oil, Insurance or Bank CEO) starving you will probably end up.

prosperity has a price, a cost, that is stored either in heaven or in hell - depends on how you come about what is true or not.

prosperity is as easy as taking candy from a baby - two meanings:
1) You fear the candy might harm the baby, or it's a fat child.
2) you want the candy and the baby can not do anything to stop you.

meaning is based on the assumption that there is no parent around, in both cases you end up with candy - what comes next depends on the powerful parents watching you, or the one who determines if your candy is stored in heaven or in hell.

prosperity is that candy, a mother would starve to death herself before touching that candy from her starving child, in the end the question is "Is it worth it?" or do you fear the consequences enough.

prosperity - a Christian example would be like the rich man's chances of entering heaven is like getting a Camel thru the eye of a needle, he determines how big that needle is by how much he fears that baby's mom - the more he fears her the bigger that needle is, you could drive a heard of elephants thru a Gandhi's of Buddha's needle, while a bank CEO's camel might have a bit more difficulty.

I think that prosperity is good, but mind where you store it.
