Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.



Dinosaurs to Pets


Pastor J. R. Wilhite, author   Close Window

This Bible study is more basic info than anything. Such as, have you thought what happens to your pets in the next life?

I can not prove it, but my coments are based on my experience of the next life when I died in 1985 for about 45 minutes. The Bible tells us that the animals will be at peace with one another and I see no reason for God to create new animals when He has thousands of years of animals who lived here. I even think we will see not just our own pets but the dinosaurs as well.

If you take the size of the new Jerusalem and compare it to the old and then use that as a standard for the new earth then, it is some where between 10 and 12 million times the size of this earth. One of the reasons I can see the size being so large is the fact that we all will be therewith all the animals and it would take us eternity to walk and explore all of it. Just think about how long it would take you to walk and explore all of this earth and then multiply it by 10-12 million times. Well you get the idea.

Before you decide to email me about any of this, first go to God and ask Him. I have talked to Him about it and the reason the new Jerusalem is the size it is, is to house all of us and the angels as well. He decided that the new earth needed to be everything the old earth was before sin plus more for the amount of animals and people that will be there.
Now understand that on this earth I heard from one of the other pastors of godsgifttoyou.com that they read that if every person on the earth now was given 3 square feet we all would fit into the state of Georgia. So, that being true, then if the new earth is 10- 12 million times larger than this earth there will be plenty of room for all of us and then some.

Another thing I got from God was He wanted us to have room to be alone if we want and if all who are there decided to be alone at the same time it would have to be big.

To get an idea of how many will be there, in Revelation we are told about the seas of people; at least that is what most believe the statement means. When talking about seas it is referring to people so there would be a lot. In Matthew 7, Jesus makes it sound like it is not that many at all, actually very few; but He was also talking about a time when the world population was not even a fraction of today's. So, if He based it on the population then (not all time) it could be a lot after all.

Remember when Jesus descended after He died He spent the 3 days preaching to those in paradise. When Jesus was on the cross He told one of the other two that they would be in paradise that day together. We know that paradise is not heaven but it is also referred to as Abraham's bosom in the story of the rich man and Lazarus. When the rich man died he asked Abraham to send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and touch his tongue with it, and Abraham said he could not because of the large gulf between those in paradise and those in Hell. The point is that in Matthew 27:52-53 when Jesus arose from the dead many (NOT ALL) rose with Him and went into the Holy City. They went in to do what it says in Romans 10:9-10, profess Jesus as their Lord. The point is even with Him going down to Hell crossing the gulf and preaching the word to those who, up to this point at least were saved, still all did not believe enough to make it out. After He arose there was no more paradise, no need for it, so those left behind were in Hell.

Let's face it not all who say they are of the Lord, are actually of Christ. We can read that in Matthew 7. If all that say they are of Christ actuially are not, and only about 30% of the current world's population are saved, well you see how we know that it is not crowded on the road to heaven, but to Hell it is packed.

It takes more than just saying you are saved. You have to believe that Jesus died, arose from the dead, and sits in heaven now as we speak. When we say "believe" it means no doubt, pure belief.

I have heard pastors preach that you will not know if you are really saved until you get there. One was a pastor of a Lutheran church of more than 1,000, and they all listened and believed it. I guess they never read Romans 8:16. Funny though, here a denomination based originally on the teachings of a man who called the pope of 1490 A.D. the antichrist after he read for the first time the book of Romans and Hebrews, had doubt in the very words that inspired their denomination.

Well, enough about that. We know that there will be more than enough people for us to visit and when we want a large crowd there will be plenty to choose from.

So as I said all of the animals will be there. I for one have had a lot of pets, or I should say my family has. At one time we had 3 dogs, 9 cats, 2 turkeys, 3 ducks, 6 chickens and some others. No we were not on a farm; we were in a city. My wife and children love animals and when they get there they will have plenty to love. My wife has said when we had 3 poodles and they had puppies that she loved it, because she had oodles, and oodles of poodles. Imagine what she will do when she gets there and there are tens of thousands of poodles alone.

Now, about the dinosaurs; understand that when God created Adam He created him mature, not as a baby or young boy, but a mature man. That is also how He created the earth and the universe; all was created mature. That is why it seems that everything is older than it really is. In Genesis 1 we see the word "mamoth" and that word translated would also refer to what we call dinosaurs, but the word "dinosaurs" was not invented until long after the Bible was translated.

Let's see how good your memory is on the Bible. Remember the flood of Noah? I have heard archeologists that came to believe in God trying to prove He did not exist. What I found interesting was that before the flood the earth was surrounded by a ball of water that kept the earth's temperature constant every where. When the flood started God let that ball of water collapse onto the earth (possibly by puncturing it with an asteroid or meteorite). Actually, before the flood they never had seen rain or not in enough amounts to ever notice. When that ball of water was around the earth it kept the atmosphere in tight around the earth so it was more concentrated so large animals would have plenty to breathe, but after the ball was gone the atmosphere started expanding because there was nothing to keep it in check.

Modern scientists have even comented that the chest cavities of dinosaurs seemed too small to support lungs large enough for such large creatures. When the atmosphere started to expand more and more, the bigger animals such as dinosaurs could not survive with the less and less oxygen they were getting.

Yes, if the dinosaurs where alive then, Noah would have had them at the very least in either eggs or very young on the Mark. From what this archeologist said it sounds like they were.

So there were dinosaurs as recently as 4,500 years ago on the earth. Why are the scientists off then on their dating of the remains? The main way for dating up until just the past decade or two (and since there has been nothing to replace it) is carbon date testing. But when the scientist started realizing that the earth was in a ball of water, then carbon date testing was wrong. Why? Because carbon date testing measures certain rays from the sun that get in and supposedly bombard items for a long period. With the ball of water in place that could not have happened. That means that nothing they had tested as millions of years old was any older than the great flood.

Now, if you find a scientist who is a good Christian not just a C and E'er (attends Christmas and Easter only) but one who talks to God and is growing in the body of Christ and will be honest, he will verify all of this to be true. If you go to one who is of the world and believes in the deception of evolution, then you will get all kinds of excuses and some will even say this is all hog wash. If you try to pin them down on their belief in God as well, you will find it is not there.

Considering your new body for eternity, Jesus said there would be no marriage in the next life and that is because we will all be like Adam, complete. Originally Adam was not his name but what he was. It was when the rib was removed he became Adam a man. Before that there was no man or woman, but just Adam. When we get our new bodies we will all be complete. We will have what we have been missing through this life. Yes you can eat what you like, enjoy it, and not put a single ounce on. There will be no reason or need to go to the bathroom because all you eat will be used by your new body with no waste. There is no sex or reason for it, but there is almost everything else. You should realize that sex (as much fun as it can seem to be) is not all that life is about. Actually it is very, very little of what life is all about. Imagine, since we will have dominion over the creatures of the new earth (as Adam did of the first) so we will be able to do all they do in order to have dominion over them. So we can fly like an eagle, swim like a fish, run as fast as any animal and never get tired, sick, old, hungry just enjoy it all. When we want we can be alone on the highest mountain, or in the middle of the largest crowd you have ever seen.

Not to mention we get to be with God and ask Him all the questions we have wanted answered. But I think that when we get there we will just know and understand most of hem anyway. We will be able to spend time with our loved ones and friends of past, present and future. Eat, eat, eat and never get fat. Imagine a century at the beach instead of a day (but there is no time there so it won't matter anyway).

I hope this has answered some questions, and you enjoyed it. Remember there are some areas I did not go too deep into because I was not sure about them. But I did spend time with God verifying as much as I could as well as what I remembered from when I died in 1985.

By the way that is now considered not to have happened according to anyone other than those who still are alive and remember it, because it gave the Doctor and Hospital involved a chance to be sued and at the very least look really bad. So it is not that they say I did not die, they just do not admit to my ever being there.

My prayer for you is:

3 John 1
2.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth

Remember to show faith when you pray, then praise and give thanks.

God Bless You as you hear His words and follow His leading.
