Again thanks to Bible Hub; as their explanations apparently were tagged on to the verses and it summarizes exactly what I intended here. This should be "food for thought" as we as believers are Born Again and therefore have escaped the prison as it were of the summation of our existence being what we can perceive with our five senses and our interactions with it. Death of course or the Rapture is a merciful thing as someone recently brought up elsewhere if the Tree of Life were reached with Adam then he and Eve would have been alive in the sinful state forever.
Our transformation means that our real life is with those seated in heavenly places ( Eph. 2:6). Those who are in the faith but immature need a wake up call; hopefully before they pass away from this life that investing too much in this world isn't worth it for the wrong reasons. This is admittedly difficult; impossible of course in our own strength which we should be aware of by now if we profess to believe or we should test our faith to see if it is real. Those things that give us fullness of life ( John 10:10) surely are still present; albeit strained in this hour. Those simple things we can enjoy in the company of the saints and our families is enough if we have food and clothes on our back; the scriptures don't mention having a home to live in. That is a sobering thought; not that it is wrong but of course if we find ourselves as some here homeless we can still rejoice (and hopefully others will help when they can who are in the faith).
What the minds of unregenerate men come to who are blinded by the god of this world ( 2 Cor. 4:4) is truly alarming. A UFO landing certainly would be seen by men whose dwelling is on the earth as something fitting to the realm of the world and will be a hypnotic mesmerizing performance that likely would suck many in IF that is indeed what Satan uses. I also have postulated the opposite that WE are the aliens; New Agers believe we go to be reprogrammed
