Under the Sun

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9-11)

Under the sun, here on earth, in this life; it is temporary, it is temporal.

Above the sun, in spirit, in truth and righteousness, with God, in perpetuity. Above; where past, present and future collide into a never ending now. All things beautiful, all things known.

Above and beyond the sun is our home, where there will be no need for the sun or its light, nor of the moon’s brilliance, for the glory of God will lighten us, and the Lamb will be the light thereof. (Revelation 21:23).

Above the sun where God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes; “and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
