Our ice-making machine recently broke. It was a great machine. Up in heaven, I want to check out God’s ice-producing machine. He’s bound to have one where He presses a button and it produces varied sized hail. I know that during the great tribulation period hail stones weighing 100 lbs. each will be dispensed to the earth (Revelation 16:21).
He probably has a ginormous mechanical room where His snow blower is stored. We sometimes get snow flurries, wet snow, thick snow, blizzardly snow, blinding snow, and white, whirly snow. It’ll be nice to also check out His rain machinery. Here in Puerto Rico, you can have rain at the back of the house but none at the front or sides. Let’s see, one can have light rain, misty rain, heavy rains, or torrential rains. Sometimes it’s powerful, nonstop rain. I wonder how it can be so even and precise. Is there a machine set up for that? Is it an angel repeatedly blowing down the reverse-end of a funnel sending the droplets upon the earth? Interesting.
What produces earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and volcano eruptions? I mean, just what type of machineries does God keep in His garage? Maybe while everyone’s in the foyer just beyond the pearly gates, I’ll sneak around to see what I’ll find. I don’t expect to find over 700 million cameras set up there-like China does, but then again, cherubim have their bodies, backs, hands, and wings covered with eyes (Ezekiel 10), so, they’ll probably spot my every move!
Hopefully, I mean, with Him being God and all, it’s not a pocket-sized machine He carries on Him…
Maybe He’s discarded a few in the past and now reside in His junk yard. Well, scratch that. Everything in heaven is brand new. But, there’s plenty to discover! Check out His mysteries:
“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle? What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?
Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, to water a land where no one lives, an uninhabited desert, to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass?
Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew? From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens when the waters become hard as stone when the surface of the deep is frozen?
Can you bind the chains of Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt? Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God’s dominion over the earth? Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water? Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’? Who gives the ibis wisdom or gives the rooster understanding? Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens when the dust becomes hard and the clods of the earth stick together” (Job 38:22-38)?
Well, we have lots of water bottles as backups when water goes (sometimes several times weekly), so God must have trillions of water jars!
Maybe you can help me discover all these heavenly secrets when we get there! See you soon!
