Last week at the San Diego Comic Con, President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Fiege, revealed the plans for their new set of upcoming movies. This included several movie titles and release dates, as well as some new live action shows that will air on the new Disney+ streaming service. If you’re anything like me, this news brought you lots of excitement. In fact, fans of the series are already coming up with theories and ideas related to the newly announced films that aren’t set to release until 2020. While we were given some information regarding these new titles, the majority of it is a mystery. On the contrary, the return of Christ is quite the opposite. While there is no set date for the second coming of Christ, there is much to expect and to be prepared for once He returns.
What Heaven is like:
No Marvel movie is complete without its action packed fight scene, and as technology has continued to develop, these scenes have gotten increasingly better with time. This has all been made possible through the use of high-level special effects that create images beyond our wildest imaginations. Heaven is just that, however. We find in 1 Corinthians 2:9 that “no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined” the place God has in store for us. Heaven is greater than what any human could ever conceive.
These fight scenes also stem from a conflict within the movie. The side opposing our heroes could be compared to sin or even darkness. In heaven, there will be no darkness (Revelation 22:1-5). We will have no conflicts in heaven because it truly is paradise (Luke 23:43).
Who will enter His gates:
Often times with new releases, especially the big time movies, showings will sell out due to limited seating. This usually causes quite an uproar amongst those who didn’t manage to get in. Thankfully, heaven doesn’t have a limit on the number of people who can enter its gates. God wishes for everyone to be there one day, but sadly, that won’t be the case because heaven is not a place for the unrighteous(1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Righteousness is next to godliness, but we can’t seek to be like our Father if we do not become one of His children. This is done through baptism (Mark 16:16) and living a life that is faithful to Him (Revelation 2:10). If we thought not getting into the sold out movie was bad, imagine a lifetime of not getting into heaven.
