Eternity. A really short story.


Once upon a time, God decided to end the world as we know it. All of a sudden, a star fell out of the sky. More stars fell to the Earth. An army marched into Israel. Then army after army poured in. Then God destroyed all the armies in a storm of fire. This happened in the valley of Megiddo.

When the government had proclaimed anyone who became a Christian would be denied food, many lost their faith. However, those who kept the faith were spared for eternity. The Tribulation would destroy the Earth. It would last 7 years. The Tribulation was planned by Satan.

“Mama, what’s to eat?” two-year-old Matt complained.

“We will be eating in six years,” replied his mother. “Food is scarce.” Suddenly an alarm went off, indicating it was time for half an hour of weeping.

“I hate the fire pit.” Someone who died in an abortion clinic complained. “It’s so painful.”

“Well, we can’t do anything about it.” Samuel said. “I wish we could, but we chose to reject God, so He rejected us.”

“Hey, God, how’s life?” I asked.

Robert! Good to see you.” El Shaddai answered.

“Hey, God, want to go for a walk and you can tell me about what life was like before the Fall?” I said.

“Absolutely!” God replied.

“How big was Eden?” I asked.“The Garden was so big, you could climb to the top of the tallest tree and look around. All you would see would be trees. Want an apple?”

“Of course” I said. “Can you tell the apostles I said hi?”

“Sure. Want me to tell C.S. Lewis you said hi, too?”“Ok. Can you also tell Isaac Newton and Ravi Zacharias I said hi?”

“Certainly.” God laughed.

“Thanks.” I said sincerely.

“Want to hear a joke?” God said.

“Oh, sure.”I said.“Who was the only person who didn’t have a dad besides Me?”I shrugged.“Joshua, the son of Nun, had no father.” We laughed.
