‘Entropy Death 3 Score & Ten’
Will Get You In The End… BUT…
By Stephen Bennett 2026 - January 11-18th
Think
Here’s the thing… you may already know… No matter what we do, no matter how much clean eating with our food, no matter how much exercise we exert, or how much we spend on ourselves in the world of wellness and supplements, 3 score &10 will get you in the end! ‘The high entropy barcode’ sitting inside your body somewhere, waiting to be triggered, will eventually be ‘scanned,’ and this old sleeve of human flesh will go back to dust… ‘All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust.’ (Ecclesiastes 3:20). No matter how cool you think you are, how rich, how fit, whatever you’ve accomplished great or small, the end happens to all of us. However, the more important question is: “But what happens to the real you?”
Ancient Writing
“The days of our lives are seventy years (three score years and ten). And if by reason of strength they are eighty years (four score years), yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away… So teach us (God) to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:10,12). (Score: means 20 years - do the math!)
(Written by Moses. New and Old King James. He also coined the name used for the old TV show Days of our Lives! :)
Dying & Flying
A conversation needed: People die naturally or are killed in many ways all around us every day, whether near or far; thousands or a few. Some take action for blatant injustice, or dark religious madness, or random shootings; it’s an endless list these days. But we continue seeing humans pass away daily; images even on our phones, one second alive, the next cut off, dead. Most are numb to it, or switch off, in our bombarded world of movies, media, and global stressful information. Some may feel empathy, but often don’t give it extended thought; most shrug their shoulders and get on with daily routines and pressures. It’s clear our lives on earth are short; fraught with work to live and survive, with many challenges, tests, sorrows and joys, then… bang, it’s over! The older we get, the more we observe this to be absolutely true!
It offers us many thoughts and continuous ancient conversations. Why do we pass away? Why do people kill? What is it all for? Is there more on the other side of human death? What is death really; can we overcome it? Why are we all to be cut off to fly away, as it is written in the historic Psalm? The question is: where do we all fly to after the cut?
Ozzie
I remember 20+ years ago, watching an episode of the defining, celebrity, MTV 2002-2005 reality TV show, ‘The Osbournes.’ There was the well aged Ozzie rocker, ’prince of darkness,’ from the band Black Sabbath, sitting in his nice, richly ample LA kitchen, surrounded by little dogs, and a young visitor who had just arrived to the house; a Christian girl who sat near to him. She started to talk about God. He had the shakes, and didn’t seem well, but I remember him clearly saying to her in his strong english accent with a rich frustration; words to this effect.‘You go through life get old, and then you start to figure things out, then you die! It’s fu%*@#! I don’t understand, it’s all too much.’ He got up from his chair and waddled off into another room, dogs in tow. How many millions feel the same way, all wondering where they are going to fly to when death and its friends knock at the door and you are finally cut off? Ozzie knew something... he recently passed on 22nd July 2025, shortly after his final farewell show in the UK, as some may know...
Q: So, does life just end, and there is nothing? Ozzie’s dilemma. Think: It doesn’t make any logical sense, that we go through this life of trial and learning no matter what we do, to overcome things, and… there is nothing at the end? Just death and blackness? No! For me, that is illogical. There is definitive answers from God that are remarkable to this dilemma and frustration, but it takes faith and wisdom to understand.
Mo the Psalmist Pioneer Writer
The Psalm you read above, was written around 3500 years ago; A Prayer of Moses, the man of God (around 1400 BC). It is the oldest of the Psalms, and Moses was actually the first composer of the Psalms. He wrote it just before He died, at the end of the time of Israel’s wandering in the wilderness 40 years, after their exodus from Egypt. Moses was 80 at the start of it, and he saw many people desert dying, and how short life really is; due to human sin, the way they lived, choices they made, and how frail life can be, like the wilderness they had walked in.
He said himself, ‘We finish our years like a sigh…’ (Psalm 90:9). Everybody reading, please breathe in and out, saying, “Ahh…” In that moment… that’s it, sigh away, sayonara, life is short, done; over red rover! “You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14).
Grab this: Life on earth is a ‘little time,’ temporary and fleeting, we are here briefly and then it’s over. So why are we here? Answer: Primarily,‘to know God!’ Therefore we must live with purpose, living life God’s way; the Bible is our only true guide…
Moses lived to 120; his last hurrah! He had much age grace, that anyone one has when older and living beyond a typical life span of 70 years. His writing proved to be correct. Even living 80 years (four score) or more, is exceptional, however, the extra years are still very short relative to your life. You’ll still have issues to deal with, needing wisdom to navigate, and hopefully, get to know God more, and His ways, to make sense of it all.
When we really acknowledge this truth about life being cut off and ending, we can then look to God our Creator for the wisdom needed to live life well while we are here, and importantly to be ready for the reality of eternal living… if we believe in God. If you can fathom, and learn this when you are younger, you will gain ancient wisdom and truth that will give you a good and productive life. Moses message to young people before he died is this:
“Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days! Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands” (Psalm 90:14-17).
Through Moses, we see God wants to satisfy your life early every day when you are young, so in your future you will be happy and glad in all you do, in the work that appears for you, established by God for your hands to be applied to! Also to live without the intense anxieties and worries of this world! Yes! This is possible… Living from a place within yourself, of calm, rest and peace; completely trusting in the Lord. God also wants you to see the glory of His work when you are young. As children and young people, you can carry God’s beauty, presence and glory within you, so you can live a full, influential and productive life; established through your work He has called you to do, all your gifts, and the things you are passionate about. You also then get to know who you are, why you are here and where you are going; so everything in life has a clear and obvious motivating purpose. But it won’t be always easy… You need the wisdom of God and His ways.
Retire?
When you are ‘suddenly older,’ it’s plain to see that your whole life cannot be wasted; we must do all we can to stay well, fit, and active, to keep fulfilling our spiritual calling and purpose for why we are here on earth… Old? Retiring? No! That’s a worldly invention…
And do what? Play bowls, cards, watch TV in the compounds of the dying? But with respect for many, that’s likely all they can handle, and that home base safety, stability and medical care is much needed. However, when we are well prepared on every level in life leading up to final years, we can be intentional about everything, and embrace life more than ever! Still improving at what we are skilled at. Be a great active and present parent and grandparent; inspiring your family and leaving them a legacy. When you truly know God, there is nothing to fear, as our impending death… in the Lord, can be overcome. How is this possible? Jesus Christ conquered death forever on the cross. There is no way you can do that by yourself…! Only He has the keys of control over death! No one else…
Living Forever?
Online: there are people that spend millions$ on their health trying to conquer ageing and dying. Thinking they will beat every other person, because of their rich life and ‘intelligent’ human efforts. They are deluded into believing they will live forever in the pride of their flesh. Oh yes! The enticing fantasy of Forever Young still swirls around us with its Hollywood movie, soft colour tones and puffy clouds.
So, are you dying? Not a silly question. The truth is, our body has a use by date, and is on a conveyor belt of limited time heading towards its expiry, where it dies, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. That event closes our discovery tour here on Earth. The ‘all access pass expires!’ “Ahrr, what the heck, hey give it back! I was enjoying my life gig!” “Sorry… too late…R.I.P!”
So, what about us who live in a ‘human, made in the image of God, body sleeve’? Is it possible we can trade in this entropic, decaying physical body for another, like in science fiction; a body that never dies, a body eternally healthy filled with another purpose? Yes, it’s possible! This is a reality when you understand who you are in Jesus Christ, and why you are here on earth living in a temporary body to complete your purpose.
The Dying, can come early or late in life, depending on the choices made on the way, how we live, think, and believe, or through an unexpected end or illness. But regardless; one day, we will ALL be confronted with the end, and death. It cannot be avoided. Even the Baron, Victor Frankenstein, tried to recreate an eternal human being from body parts and electricity, to overcome death; how did that work out for him!“This game of chess we play; we play only against ourselves.” He said on reflection, in the Guillermo del Toro 2025 movie.
It was a fiction tale published in 1818; a Gothic horror novel by Mary Shelley. Based in that era, on the true societal fears and concerns about playing God. Through the excessive pride and self confidence of scientific explorative notions at that time, to overcome death by ourselves. It was all part of the intellectual debates and discussions of that period in Europe, with the ongoing growth of the ‘enlightenment era in the age of reason.’
However, real life, can be wonderfully experienced and death can be overcome… and YES! We can live eternally forever with God. Only He has the answers and the keys to REAL life; no other religion, leader or politician, can do that for you. The pivotal work was completed for us all by Jesus Christ, the ONLY Saviour of the world; through His own death on a wooden cross and consequent resurrection. Overcoming death, was a prime reason for God in His fulfillment of the ultimate purposes for His creation - mankind. You ask, “Really?” Let’s check it out!
Jesus Overcame Death!
Yes! Jesus overcame death; fulfilling Bible prophecy. He alone also has the power over sin! And even right NOW, He is still alive! Every other cult, and false religious leader… well… I’m afraid they are still ALL dead! Think: Where did they fly away to, when they were ‘cut off?’… If Jesus is the ONLY WAY? Well… they certainly didn’t go to heaven…!
“Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? ... But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ,” (1 Corinthians 15:54-57). This is an amazing, profound, absolute TRUTH.
The victory which ‘swallowed’ death, is what Jesus accomplished on the cross. Only Jesus now holds the keys of death; He said, “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades (Hell) and of Death.” (Revelation 1:18).
Jesus Christ, resurrected from the dead, that is… dies no more! He is GOD and eternal. ‘Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once and for all; but the life that He lives (resurrected), He lives to God.’ (Romans 6:9-10). We also partake of this through our faith in Him. Incredible!
The Cross
The cross was the means by which Jesus paid for ALL our sins through His own blood (not Old testament animal sacrifice). Sin that started with Adam and Eve, His first human ‘sculptures;’ now allowing believers in Him to also share in His resurrected eternal life, beyond our earthly dying. “He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree (the Cross), that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.” (1 Peter 2:24). He cancelled our sin debt and gave us His righteousness; He cancelled death and healed us as well! (Colossians 2:14). Love His ‘cancel culture’! :)
Death is the devil’s most powerful, terrifying weapon against humanity. At the cross, Christ also defeated satan on behalf of all of us, but the old slippery, toxic, hairy diablos devil, does not want you to know that. “Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world (satan) will be driven out” (John 12:31). With the tomb empty after Christ’s resurrection, the Lord ‘drove out’ the devil and destroyed his most powerful weapon, death. Satan, our accuser, is now actually powerless to affectively condemn Christians.“Having disarmed principalities and powers, He (Jesus) made a public spectacle of them (demonic forces), triumphing over them in it.” (Colossians 2:15). This was truth over 2000 years ago. Think: how much humanity has been deceived by the devil over the centuries!
‘Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, He (Jesus) Himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery’ (Hebrews 2:14-15). ‘
‘The last enemy to be destroyed is death.’ (1 Corinthians 15:26)
New Eternal Body
We who believe in Jesus as Saviour, will not share in this first death. We will die physically, and we all have to go through that process, but we’ll ultimately live with Jesus Christ fully God, in a new eternal spiritual body. Scripture teaches, physical death is not the end but a passing through into a spiritual sleep, awaiting for our resurrected, eternal, perfected bodies.
“There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies;… So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption… It is raised in power… There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body… And as we have borne the image of the man of dust (Adam - our natural life of 3 score & ten), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man (Jesus - His resurrection life for eternity).
Our Final Victory
“… flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;… Behold, I tell you a mystery: we shall not all sleep (that is, die), but we shall all be changed… in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet (the end of the end-times…soon). For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible (with eternal bodies, that won’t die), and we shall be changed… this mortal must put on immortality… (eternal life forever) then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written…“Death is swallowed up in victory.” (Excerpts 1 Corinthians 15:40-54)… AMAZING!
To inherit God’s eternal kingdom you have to choose and be born again in your heart and spirit through Christ by faith (John 3:1-8), that is, changed spiritually in this life, and then to live forever in eternal bodies. It’s the reversal of what happened to Adam and Eve. Think: Flesh and blood contains death, but that has been swallowed up in victory by God Himself. How? Through Jesus, giving us a new eternal start (which Adam and Eve originally had and lost) in the heavenly realms, in the Spirit, in a body that doesn’t die! Imagine! Yes it’s true!
To understand - an example: Flesh and blood cannot arrive in ‘heaven’ at all! Example: no one can expect to have multiple woman to fornicate with in heaven, as a reward for killing people. Why? (A) Killing and fornication is sin, (B) It’s ‘in the flesh’ which carries death, but that cannot exist in the spiritual realm to even have that illicit sex. Why? Because the human dilemma of sin and death has been ‘swallowed up’ by Jesus! Gulp, done! So what is that idea really? It’s a complete lie and delusion, driven by a spiritual lust harem fantasy. Jesus death and resurrection shuts that idea down completely. This ‘idea’ ends up where? Burned up in the lake of fire - the second death!
“ALSO… IN CHRIST, WE ARE NOT PART OF THE SECOND DEATH…!”
The Second Death
FYI: Yes there is one!
“The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast (anti-christ world leader) and the false prophet are (end-time evil partner of anti-christ, leader of deceptive end-time one world religion). And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever… (OUCH, it’s so…hot!) then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.’ (Revelation 20:10,14).
Second Death WARNING:
“But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8).
‘Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire (the second death).’ (Jude 1:7)
‘Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things WILL NOT inherit the kingdom of God’ (Galatians 5:19-21).
Phew! Heavy warnings, but can’t be ignored though! Think: However, when Christ conquered death for us, He removed our sin (as in the above), the “sting of death,” (1 Corinthians 15:56). We will not be judged by God according to our sins (as Jesus washed them all away forever, past, present & future), but we will stand before God clothed in Christ’s own perfect righteousness because of faith. Yes, entropy will get us in this life and we will pass away; ‘fall asleep,’ but believers in Jesus Christ are promised, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” (Revelation 2:11). There’s the promise.
The second death has no power over us at all. “Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years (the millennium transition on earth with the Lord before eternity future, and before the Great White throne final judgement, where all unbelievers and false religions will end up being judged… their end is not good)” (Revelation 20:6).
Therefore Jesus Christ received our death penalty for sin and, through His own death, has conquered death in and through His resurrection. Hence instead of experiencing the second death, (that is, cut off from God forever in the lake of fire, as unbelievers will be), true believers will have eternal life and live forever with God Himself! It’s in a future, free of evil (because the devil is judged and gone forever), pain, sin or suffering. It will be a new and wonderful creative eternal future, building and creating with a mighty, mind-boggling, super creative, wonderful God.
Bible judgement sounds harsh, but it is something God Himself has set in motion, giving humans guidance and boundaries in how to live, believe and what is true and false, and just like Adam and Eve sinned, there are consequences for your life and eternity if you don’t make the right choice. Trust me… be wise in what you give all your life to!
Here is the truth! Watch and hear… ‘And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment’ (Hebrews 9:27). There is no second chance, we have ONLY one appointed life of around 70 years to get to know God; then it’s either righteous good judgement with all believers in the millennium, or the final Judgement of damnation (Revelation 20:11-15). There is no endless physical cycles of reincarnation doctrines, in the many false religions and philosophy’s, before reaching a mystique ‘Nirvana’ state of being. That is illogical and false, just look at the fruit of those nations. We have ONLY ONE life given to us by God to DIE ONCE, as difficult as it maybe, and in that life to make a choice with love and faith to believe in our Creator; that’s all He wants… The rest He has sorted! Jesus made it simple - BELIEVE!
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me (Jesus). In My Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again (His second coming return to earth, Revelation 19:11-21) and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:1-3). Eternity with God; at last!
You’ll NEVER DIE!
In Christ as believers, it’s simple, “we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37). NOTHING can separate us from the love of God in Christ! “Neither death nor life” (Romans 8:38). No separation! The relationship with Jesus is continuous seamless, whether alive or passed away… Selah (pause and think about that).
Jesus HAS conquered death, and as uncompromising believers in Him, we stand firm on the truth of Jesus words: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who BELIEVES in ME will live, even though he dies. And everyone who lives and believes in Me WILL NEVER DIE. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26). INCREDIBLE! The word of God is amazing!
This truth about death is remarkable. No other religion or leader, comes remotely anywhere near what Jesus Christ did for humanity. They are all limp and fake spiritual versions in comparison, drowning in their own tepid doctrines of devils and deceptions, and they don’t even know it! If they died without faith in Jesus Christ the true God; you know where they end up! Jesus is not just Saviour of The World. He is THE TRUTH! “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23). We ALL need Him!
All you have to do is TRULY believe, and death is done and dusted! Never to be feared; because you will live forever! Yes, as said, you may die in this fallen life, but the second death at the final throne judgement (Revelation 20:11-15) is not ours either, but for those who will not believe and continually refuse God (that is, the true Father in Heaven, not the religions that call something or someone else a god). Their eternity is a ‘death’ in the lake of fire in continual torment, regretting their decisions for never listening to the truth. The consequence is; they will never ever live with the true God, who is their Creator. Imagine that… NO THANKS!
Ok - Reflect: Death 1. Even though eternal life is a gift, you have to ‘die’ physically. All of this life has to be let go, for it cannot inherit the kingdom of eternity. Flesh and blood in its present state, contains death, sin and the ability to be manipulated by the devil. Jesus destroyed all of that on the cross. It is therefore a prerequisite for your ‘body sleeve’ that you live in, to die in this journey of faith toward an eternity outcome. Why? So you can ‘legally’ receive on this earth a new spiritual body in resurrection; to live in forever, with God who is holy and pure! Death 2. It has nothing to do with a believer in Christ, but only those who disbelieve or are deceived by some other spiritual deception or behaviour. EVERYTHING of flesh that is NOT redeemed by the blood of Christ, and remains in a fallen and dead state while living, by the will of its owner, has to be burned up in the lake of fire!
Flesh and blood, simply can’t exist in eternity as it has no connection with God the Father from a true heart and spirit of belief and faith. That is why the devil, antichrist, false prophet, false religion is thrown in the fire. That is why this current earth and heavens will be rolled up like a scroll and burnt with fire (2 Peter 3:10-13). Gone! Ready for God to start ‘phase 2 eternity'; hopefully you are in it!
Life on earth is like the end of a long long camping adventure. We are the ‘tents’ that have to be wrapped up, put away, and replaced with eternal tents (spiritual bodies). We finally move from this ‘pop up family campsite of earth,’ all the refuse that is left over, and of no longer use in the future, ends up in the lake camp fire (2 Corinthians 5:1-4). Selah… (pause and thing about this).
LOVE HAD TO - Conquer Sin Death & the Devil
Before we look at physical entropy and why your body dies in this life, you may still be a little confused about Jesus and why He went to the cross to destroy death. Let us sum it up as simply as possible!
‘He who does not love does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE’ (1 John 4:8 ).
Aeons before time, all of creation, and before Adam and Eve the first humans even existed. The Family of God the Father, The Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit (LOVE PERSONIFIED), wanted to share who they are with others; a much wider family in close intimate relationship with them. This heavenly Triune family is the only template for their extraordinary creativity and vision. But to make humans in their God image they needed a tangible context for them to live in, and outwork their free will. It was to be the Earth, the Universe and all its wonder, and everything GOOD in it, God provided. However, the human images they created in Adam and Eve, needed free will for true love to operate and be tested (read Genesis).
You know the story; they sinned (fell short of God’s best), and the eternal bodies they were made with, started to die. Adam and Eve introduced DEATH into the world and all of creation. Why? They chose to go against God. Death was introduced on the Earth through the enticements of evil (satan the serpent). The backstory that was going on at the time, is, a war already in motion between the God of heaven, and fallen angel lucifer (satan), who also had resisted and gone against God in his pride and arrogance. What happened in the garden of Eden, just made the situation worse on the earth.
Satan then used the tool of death to get back at God and destroy millions of people over the centuries through false religions, pioneering human life chaos, and death. DEATH was introduced on the earth by a man and woman. The only ‘legally’ correct way to destroy that death, was for God the Creator, as the Son Himself, to come down also as a man through the womb of a woman. He lived and grew in Nazareth for the purpose of the ultimate price of LOVE; to experience laying down his own life for the sin caused by His own creation, Adam and Eve, which unfortunately became the sin of all mankind and creation itself. Therefore, the main thing Jesus the Son had to do was destroy the power of sin, death, and the devil all at once. HOW? Through the cross of death, and the shedding of His own blood, not animals. He could not, NOT DO IT! It’s a battle only God Himself could win. This wasn’t about religion, but a vast infectious war that affected everything.
In His death and consequent resurrection to life, Jesus made the ‘impossible to keep ancient religious rules of Judaic religious law’ obsolete (Hebrews 8:13). He forged a new way back for mankind to have that ultimate relationship with Father Son and Holy Spirit on this earth, by the freewill choice of faith; rooted in a LOVE for the truth of who God really is. In the process, the power of sin and the devil were also dealt with. Again, you have to be on the earth to get it, in the short space of around 70 years. Jesus also gave up more than half of His own gift of life on earth, so humankind could restart fresh.
Finally, because this world and the universe are still in a fallen state, God had to appoint a time for it all to end, as it cannot function eternally as it is, in a fallen state. And then Jesus, who inherits all things, will return to this earth as King of Everything, to claim all who are His through faith, and then take us through the 1000 year millennium period on earth, with eternal resurrected spiritual bodies, and at the end of it, witness the process of the Great White Throne Judgement of unbelievers (Revelation 20:11-15), and then wrap it all up! New Heaven and New Earth (Revelation 21:1).
Why the Wrap? To start all over again with a new eternal life and way of living; without death, sin or evil existing, and no doubt an incredible future creative plan to go with it (definitely not sitting around on clouds playing harps all day!). (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Along side Him will be millions of people who choose to love God and be with Him forever for a real relationship rooted in GOD LOVE.
NOTE: NO OTHER RELIGION has remotely come any where near to doing this!! Jesus is the ONLY WAY (John 14:6). All the rest are absolutely false distractions!
“And there is salvation in NO ONE ELSE, for there is no other name under heaven (JESUS) given among men by which WE MUST BE SAVED” (Acts 4:12). Must, must, must, must…
Remember; “Death is swallowed up in victory!” Gulp…done!
‘For the wages of sin IS DEATH (in this life and forever), but the FREE GIFT of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord!’ (Romans 6:23). Incredible; what have you got to lose? Jesus is the only way to eternal life: through true faith, it’s a FREE GIFT!
God’s Game
All of this blog chat, sounds a little bit as if God is like, ‘The Sims Game Director of the Universe!’ This idea is actually played out in many online games and apps, including; (World Box - God Simulator, Eve Online, Roblox, Minecraft and SecondLife to name a few). All of God’s biblical narrative, is like part of His ‘game-plan’ to create a new incredible world, populated with the ‘real-time people players’ He made, and millions more produced in the process. All who have been tested, survived and won in faith in the current ‘Universe Game,’ in all the ‘different levels’ of life journey over 6000 years of history! And like the old movie, Tron; the Lord Jesus had to end up ‘inside the game’ to destroy the devils work in it. ‘For this purpose the Son of God was manifested (on earth), that He might destroy the works of the devil’ (1 John 3:8).
God’s game plan all along is to wrap up the current fallen heaven and earth, and actually live with the people who love Him in the game! The one’s who were born, lived, and made it through this current ‘game’ by discovering the Real Truth through faith in Christ, for the ‘all eternity grand prize level! ’ Imagine what He has in store for those that love Him! ‘But as it is written:“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9). They are going to be so amazing… and we will be able to handle them when the time comes…
‘And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men (the presence of the Lord Himself), and He will dwell with them (live), and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God (In the ‘new eternal game.’ Incredible!). And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” (Revelation 21:3-5). INCREDIBLE! All the old bothersome stuff will have passed away, as He creates everything brand new! It doesn’t get any better or clearer than that! Makes all other religions, cults, and spiritual ideas look boring, even silly, restrictive, illogical, deceptive, and painfully unintelligent in comparison. Think hard! Selah…
Entropy of Age
Well, I hope and believe that was all helpful! Our final thought in this piece, is the reality of our entropy. I’ve had many a conversation, where people young and old still don’t know what it is!
The entropy of ageing started for humanity with the first humans Adam & Eve in the garden of Eden. God warned them if they ate from the tree of good and evil, they would ‘surely die’ (Genesis 2:17); mankind has been dying ever since! Yes! They ate from that tree! Naughty new kids on the block, Adam & Eve ‘played with fire,’ and went from having incredible, complex, gorgeous glowing eternal bodies, ‘sleeves’ designed to live forever, to becoming ‘naked aware’ humans in a mortal, fallen state body, that began to literally die - entropy (Genesis 3:7).
At that time, the progression of growing humanity had an ongoing residue of that eternal power in their bodies right up until after the flood; reflected in the great ages they lived to in that time. Adam lived to 930 years old! Noah was 500 years old when he started to build the ark, it took 100 years to create from Gods’ specific instructions. He was 600 when the flood came. Everything on earth was killed and destroyed, except Noah, His family and all the animals in the ark (Genesis 7). After the flood the ark came to rest on what would be known as the mountains of Ararat in Eastern Turkey (Genesis 8:4). And then life on earth started all over again, after the waters receded and the sun came out and dried the land. Aghh what a great story; make a movie…
Noah lived 350 more years and died at 950 years. He was the last of the exceptionally long-lived patriarchs who had monumental important tasks to do for God. His lifespan then marks the gradual decrease in human longevity, from living to nearly 1,000 years old before the flood, and then much shorter lives after. We see that with the patriarch Abraham; he ‘died in a good old age, an old man full of years;’ he was ‘only’ 175 years old (Genesis 25:7-8)! To be full of years, was living over 100 years old by then! But a fraction of years compared to the original guys, yet, he was still considered ‘old.’
Technicolour Dream Coat Joseph, who saved his family in Egypt, lived to the ripe old age of 110 years old (Genesis 50:22)! Then in the next book of the Old Testament, Exodus, we see the story of Moses. He lived to 120 years old, and as you have read, he wrote the Psalm telling us about the average man or woman’s lifespan being ‘3 score & ten,’ 70-80 years at best; this has been true right down through history to the end of time… now in 2026+...
Entropy of Science
The reality is; we are born as babies into corruptible human bodies; as lovely, soft and pure looking as they are, they also are on the journey to die one day; hence the truth, without Christ we are dead while we live (as He is the only one who overcame and destroyed death). We can only be made incorruptible by having faith in God in your heart and spirit, through Jesus Christ His Son; being ‘born again’ (John 3:3). We then, through our belief and sincere faith, put on incorruption, in that, by believing, we then also overcome death as Christ did, through faith in Him. He is our ONLY Mediator and Saviour! Incorruption is an eternal gift from Jesus to us who believe. “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). There is no other path or mediator, or religious leader who can do what Jesus did; period!
‘Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” (John 14:6)
The basic scientific explanation for entropy is actually quite simple. But here I will just try to sum it up from the great amount of information in many scientific writings today…
Entropy in the human body is the natural tendency toward disorder. Murphy’s famous laws humorously states; “left to themselves, things will always go from bad to worse.” Entropy is the general trend of the whole universe toward death and disorder; (it’s the fallen state of everything because of Adam & Eve’s original sin in the Eden garden). Entropy is often described as a measurable physical property, mostly associated with uncertainty; the amount of energy that is unavailable to do its work in your body. The second law of thermodynamics deals with entropy and simply stated; it is a measure of the disorder of a system. The life in our body system actively resists this disorder and spends much of our individual life energy reversing entropy.
Our bodily systems have the ability to reverse the principle of increased entropy, especially when we are young and developing; with good nutrients, healthy activities, strong immunity and the bodies ability to self-heal. The deterioration of human health, and the often resulting disease along with the acceleration of the human ageing process, will see what is called, increased entropy in your body.
As humans we can intentionally fight increased entropy, through the healthy energy consumption produced from good food (fuel), to help maintain highly organised, high efficiency low-entropy states (homeostasis); against the natural decay in our fallen bodies (again, thanks Adam & Eve, we’ll have talk to you about all that later one day)! The high efficiency signifies having a healthy mortal body that self-repairs cells well, and efficiently clears bodily waste. Our bodies are a one individual cell with billions of self renewing cells changing daily. However, as we age our cells divide less and less and eventually they lose their optimum ability, as with the decline or loss of the physiological functions of our molecules, tissues, or organs; usually in a high stage of increased entropy. Guess what? We then eventually die… bummer, unavoidable at that stage!
As you age, entropy increases with the slow breakdown of the body. We can resist that for a while; eating the right food fuel, the exercise and healthy disciplines we also maintain; mind, body, soul and spirit. Yet eventually, our ‘magnificent, created by God bodily systems,’ break down in their fallen state. The first death then occurs; around 3 score & ten years, or more if we are blessed. This is when the body loses the ability to expend energy to fight entropy. Death occurs; which for the believer, becomes a spiritual ‘sleep’ transition toward the promise of eternal life with God, who created us through Jesus. We were created through Him, and redeemed through Him to true life, and to live with Him eternally forever young!
‘He has delivered us from the power of darkness (Death and all its evil friends!) and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love (Jesus), in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins (and eternal life). He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over ALL CREATION. For by Him ALL THINGS WERE CREATED (including entropy) that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. ALL THINGS were created THROUGH HIM and FOR HIM. And He is before ALL THINGS, and in Him ALL THINGS CONSIST. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He (Jesus) may have the preeminence’ (Colossians 1:13-18). NOTE: ‘NO ONE ELSE, religion, leader, or otherwise, CAN HAVE THAT PREEMINENCE!’
God created, and allowed the ‘fallen entropy’ to be in us for a limited lifespan for a reason. That in this time of the gift of life on this earth, we can choose, pursue, love Him, and get to know a very vast and creative God, just a little bit, before the real ‘eternity life of forever and ever young!’ But there is a price to pay; full surrender and faith in God through Jesus Christ the ONE AND ONLY Saviour of the World! THE LIVING TRUTH! And He is coming back to this earth soon and will change us into eternal beings!
‘But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like His glorious body, by the power that enables Him even to subject all things to Himself.’ (Philippians 3:20-21). Remarkable! The Lord ‘body changer’ has the real power, and TOTAL preeminence!
Entropy - Spiritual
Spiritual entropy, is the thought, that our lives become less organised over our life-time. The idea that our fallen mortal bodies have a tendency to be more ‘dis-organised’ as we get much older. Therefore, effective life, is truly maintained by a high degree of orderliness. That is why it is important to be disciplined, having a flexible, ‘organic, holistic’ approach to your life as a believer; heart, soul, strength, and mind, being disciples of Jesus and disciples of ourselves. Hence, it makes sense why the whole Bible hangs upon the 2 great commandments of Jesus, both pivoted and rooted in intentional LOVE. A love we are commanded to learn and have.
‘Jesus said, “‘You shall LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And the second, is like it, ‘You shall LOVE your neighbour AS YOURSELF. On these two commandments hang all the law and the Prophets. There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Matthew 22:37-40, Mark 12:30-32, Luke 10:27). These two commands start with the vertical love of God, culminating in the horizontal healthy love of ourselves and family, people, and all whom we meet; this is the simple secret of faith.
When you see the gross lack of love in any religion not reflected in the life of its followers or their leader/s; you know it’s absolutely NOT a true religion or a faith, but something cultic, destructive, controlling, violent and evil! The overbearing control, constant killing, abuse (especially of women), chaos, disorder, oppression, darkness and death, is the usual fruit of the darkest ‘entropic’ spiritual falsity; surely NOT THE LOVE, kindness, mercy, grace and power of the true God of heaven. Cultures can call anything or anyone ‘god,’ but it doesn’t mean that it’s true.
Final Entropic Thought
The Mexicans say: Momento Mori, Latin for ‘Remember you must die.’ It is a deep part of Mexican culture, particularly in their Día de los Muertos Catholic tradition; The Day of the Dead. In Mexico, the Day of the Dead event held in early November each year, is a wake up call and a warning, yet also an honouring of the dead, and a celebration with an often humorous approach to the unavoidable fact of death and that we all die! Example: The Candy pink skulls of death; Calaveras de Azúcar sugar lollies. They are used during the celebration to remember precious souls who have parted; reminding one of hope, purity, and a celebration of the normalcy of death as a transition, rather than being something ominous, dark, or scary. Mexican culture is very spiritually cognisant of the truth of life and death, albeit religious. As Moses said, our life is like a sigh... we come and are gone! Like a puff of wind, a vapour… like a blossoming flower… then ‘the grand wilt’ … back it goes… gone…
The Mexicans love the old English new wave / synth-pop pioneer band, and influencers of early electronic music, Depeche Mode; 1980s to present day. They sang openly about death and faith in their minimalistic synth-pop rhythms and driving guitars. They said in their song lyrics; “I’m heading for the afterlife, are you ready for the final pages. Don’t let death slap your head, learn to pray, know what you say, time to dance with your own personal Jesus relationship, reach out and touch faith.” Thank you DM boys!
Every death is a unique event; thousands all over this world live and then die everyday. Entropy runs expectantly in the bodies of its multi-billion human body courses, and 3 score & ten has its inevitable way with all of them…!
But… make sure you understand. Death does not have to be a dark world of mystery that slaps you in the head with fear; it’s NOT THE END for anyone! You have the gift of choice in where you FLY AWAY TO! To be with God, or be without Him. “With or without you…!” The latter is simply NOT AN INTELLIGENT OPTION! Choose to be with HIM! You have nothing to lose… do not perish but life forever!
ANSWER
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him SHOULD NOT PERISH but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
“So teach us (God) to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:10,12) Thank you Moses!
Wisdom is… Jesus Christ dealt with death and has already set you free; IF YOU JUST SIMPLY BELIEVE… Wow! Then, it’s not the end for you! YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER! Today is your day… what forever wisdom do you choose…?

Final Thoughts for today…
None of us have been in the end of the end-times before, with all the invasion of technology we experience on every level of life.
We read about the end-times in the Bible, but now we are actually here, our journey is to understand and learn to navigate it all, know where we need to be with Jesus, to be True Worshippers in a darkening world.
We must be ready as TRUE worshippers, to be true sons and daughters of God, ‘led by the Spirit’ (Romans 8:14). One day soon we may not be able to play the games of church religious protocols as we have known. How will we stand?
Global societal shifts and changes are accelerating at exponential rates in this world. We all need understanding how to navigate the chaotic and pressured times now and ahead of us as worshipping believers of Jesus Christ. Otherwise we may not have a table to sit at, and have our sound heard.
However, despite everything, we are designed to worship God intelligently; be wise, critical intelligent thinkers, and continue living it out on earth while we can, because it will all end one day. May you now emerge and find truth!
If you’re in struggle street of any kind, God has a family / church / company of people / tribe / a place where you’ll fit; ask God and he will show you.

It’s a New Era of History
In 2021, I wrote a prophetic blog stating; ‘we have now transitioned in this time of immense change, into a New Era of History, both in the world at large, and in the Church.’
Things have never been the same since the plan-demic, and will not be ever again. These are the last of the last days…
‘A New Awakening’ has emerged in the world now, and the TRUTH of the gospel is being preached everywhere like never before. Jesus is exposing falsity in the religion and the Body of Christ. Now, late December 2025+ into 2026, everything is moving forward rapidly. Not just in spiritual awareness, but millions of people are well informed and awakened to the lies, deceptions and agendas of this world, and false religion parading the streets, that were, and still are being enforced upon humanity.

PRAYER OF FAITH: The Call to give your life to Jesus Christ!
No matter where you are in your Christian walk, Jesus is with you; in your triumphs and trials, to the end! If you have never known God; know this;
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (ages)” Amen’ Matthew 28:20. ‘
“But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.’ Matthew 24:13-14.
Pray this prayer from your heart and your spirit will come alive to God, for with him there is hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
“My Father in heaven, I give you my life, I repent of all my sin, recreate me brand new. I give you my heart. Fill me Lord Jesus Christ with Your Holy Spirit. I believe You died for me on the cross, and by Your shed blood, you washed away my sins once and for all. Raise me from my deadness of my life to live a new life, just like you Jesus, when you were raised from the dead; I believe you did that. Make my spirit reborn, and let me come alive too, filled with Your Holy Spirit.”
“I believe I belong to you Lord. Help me to know you well, teach me Your ways, that I become all that I am meant to be. Help me to love and find love. I thank you Lord that you will always be with me, Amen.”
If you have genuinely prayed this prayer to Jesus Christ, in your seeking of God, or you’re coming back to Him, DM Instagram or FB or email info@endtimewriters.com. Talk to other Christians you may know, and seek to find a solid believing Church where you can grow.
