if it was my last day on Earth I think that I would want to tell people about the 11th chapter of Hebrews 1 of my favorite books in the Bible

This is a somewhat paraphrased version please bear with,

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of Things Not Seen. For by it the Elders ofbtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear and prepared an ark to the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. By faith Abraham when he was called to go out into a place which you should later receive for an inheritance, oh babe, and he went out, not knowing where he went. By faith he's sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in the Tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, The Heirs with him of the same promises. Confessing that they were strangers and pilgrims on Earth. They that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly if they had been mindful of the country from where they came out, they might have had the opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country that is a hevenly country. Were for God is not ashamed to be called their God. For he has prepared for them a City. By faith Joseph, when he died made mention of the departing of the children of Israel. And gave commandment concerning his bones. By faith Moses, when he was born was hiiddng three months by his parents, because they saw he was a proper child. And they were not afraid of the King's Command. By faith Moses when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt. For he had respect to the promise of the reward.IMG_20170918_162030.jpga better resurrection. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the Wrath of the king. For he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Through faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land. Which the Egyptians trying to do were drowned. By faith the Harlot Rahab perished not with them that believe not, when she had received the spies with peace . And what else should I say? For the time with fell me to tell of Gideon and of Samson and of David also and Samuel and of the prophets. Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrote righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quench the violence of fire, escape the edge of the sward, out of weakness were made strong, wax Valiant in fight, turn to fight the armies of the aliens. Women receive their dead raised to life again. And others were tortured, not accepting Deliverance. That they might obtain a better Resurrection. And others had Trials of cruel mocking and scourgings, yes, more over the bonds of imprisonment. They were stoned they were cut to peices , were tempted, or slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheep skins and goat skins being destitute, Afflicted, tormented. Of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and in caves of the of the earth. And these all having obtained a good report through faith, still received not the promise. God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. 12: Consider him ( Yeshua))that endured such contradiction of Sinners against himself, lest you be worried and faint in your minds.

If it were the last day of life on Earth and I could give you anything that there is, I would give you Faith to call on Yeshua and ask for forgiveness and faith to forgive your enemies while there is time. I have often said that forgiveness is the greatest word in the English language. Again without forgiving we have no hope to be forgiven. Are you perfect? Are you blameless? Christ speaks through the prophets and says, come and let us reason together although your sins are scarlet yet they shall be white as snow.
It is also written that there shall be great rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents. Repent means to turn from your evil ways and choose a better path than you had ever chosen. If it were your last day on Earth what would you do with it. I invite you to live each day as though it were your last day on Earth, do good works, give give freely while there is time. Try to face the world with a smile and give some happiness to a world thats suffering enough without adding to it. If you have read this I commend you, but if you convert you will be commended in Heaven by Yeshua the living Christ who says I will say blessed are thou ,enter into the Joy's I have prepared for you...

Over four thousand years of recorded history in the story I tell you tonight. What is the history that you're writing for you?
I really really only just want you to make it into the kingdom of heaven and walk on streets of gold. I'm not talking about taking a ride on SpaceX, I'm talking about taking the ride to space extraordinary the heaven of heavens of the Living God.

As always thanks for reading
