...There were Star Wars! Quite literally! But not the ones written by George Lucas.
There was war in heaven between Satan and his angels and Jesus and the host of heaven. Satan lost this battle and was cast out and in his fury deceived the world into rebellion against God. So we found ourselves conformed to the pattern of this world longing for a better place. "For God has set eternity in the hearts of all men." Not only that but he also, "determined the exact times and places that we should live so that we might seek him and find him for he is not far from each one of us."
In those days in that far away galaxy when the "Empire" was oppressing God's people he put his thoughts in their hearts and in their minds. "What does God say? What's the bible say? Is there a better place? Another way?" "But no one was found worthy to open the seals of the scroll." What page does a man begin reading on?
How wonderful is our counsellor! The Lord God himself! He sent his messengers! One after another!
The first two told about this city. How they described it was like paradise for one longing for a better country. So God provided the way to go to this city. It was a none stop one way trip with conviction! And there was seen something never seen before in the old country where everyone averts their eye. In this new city everyone, EVERYONE greeted with a welcome. But not only that the city had a river running through it and it really was like a park, green and lush, warm and welcoming.
