We Are Not Alone In Having Little Time

God's Adversary, Satan the Devil, the one whose scheming led to mankind's curtailed life span, has now become a victim of his own wickedness. (Compare Galatians 6:7, 8) Speaking of the birth of the Messianic Kingdom in heaven. (Revelation 12:12) gives us cause for hope when it says: " On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time."

According to reliable Bible chronology and the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, we are now living at the close of that "short period of time." What a joy to know that Satan's time at large is soon to expire altogether! Once he has been put out of the way, obedient humans will be restored to perfection, and they can attain to the everlasting life that Jehovah purposed for them at the beginning. (Revelation 21:1-4) Lack of time will no longer be a problem.

Can you imagine what it will mean to have everlasting life-to live forever? Never again will you be plagued by things that you had to leave undone. If you need more time, there is tomorrow, or next week, or next year-in fact, a vast eternity stretching out before you!
