Quotes About Eternity

Siva who is known as Kaalatman, the Soul of Time. Kaala is inscrutable; only Siva is beyond Prakriti, Purusha and Kaala.
~ Ramesh Menon
I seek refuge in Siva whose power is unequalled, whose glory spreads everywhere, who is Un-born!
~ Ramesh Menon
The basic unit of life is the nimesha, the duration of a blink- Fifteen nimeshas make one kastha, thirty kasthas one kaala, thirty kaalas one muhurta; thirty muhurtas make one day. Thirty days is a maasa, a month, one day of the gods and the ancestors. Six maasas make one ayana; two ayanas, solstices, make one year. One human year is one day and night for the devas, uttarayana being the day and dakshinayana the night. Three hundred and sixty human years make a divine one.
~ Ramesh Menon

~ Randy Alcorn
It would upset us, but would we think it unloving if a doctor told us we had a potentially fatal cancer? And would the doctor not tell us if the cancer could be eradicated? Why then do we not tell unsaved people about the cancer of sin and evil and how the inevitable penalty of eternal destruction can be avoided by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ?
~ Randy Alcorn

If you're a child of God, you do not just go around once on Earth. You don't get just one earthly life. You get another-one far better and without end. You'll inhabit the New Earth! You'll live with the God you cherish and the people you love as an undying person on an undying Earth.
~ Randy Alcorn
Set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1) This is a direct command to set our hearts on Heaven. And to make sure we don't miss the importance of a heaven-centered life, the next verse says, Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. God commands us to set our hearts and minds on Heaven.
~ Randy Alcorn

~ Randy Alcorn
Each day every man comes closer to the day of his death. Those who lay up their treasures in Thuros spend each day moving away from them. Those who lay up their treasures in Charis spend each day moving toward them.
~ Randy Alcorn
Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.
~ Randy Alcorn
Most of us find it very difficult to want "Heaven" at all—except in so far as "Heaven" means meeting again our friends who have died. One reason for this difficulty is that we have not been trained: our whole education tends to fix our minds on this world. Another reason is that when the real want for Heaven is present in us, we do not recognize it. C. S. Lewis
~ Randy Alcorn
Life on earth matters not because it's the only life we have, but precisely because it isn't—it's the beginning of a life that will continue without end.
~ Randy Alcorn
We will look into God's eyes and see what we've always longed to see: the person who made us for his own good pleasure. Seeing God will be like seeing everything else for the first time. Why? Because not only will we see God, he will be the lens through which we see everything else—other people, ourselves, and the events of our earthly lives.
~ Randy Alcorn
We can't take material things with us when we die, but we do take our friendships to Heaven, and one day they'll be renewed.
~ Randy Alcorn
The only proper foundation for optimism is the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Any other foundation is sand, not rock. It will not bear the weight of our eternity.
~ Randy Alcorn
Now think, my brother, you will be in Heaven very soon. Since last year a great number have gone home: before next year many more will have ascended to glory. Sitting up in those celestial seats, how shall we wish that we had lived below?" —Charles Spurgeon
~ Randy Alcorn
Five minutes after we die, we'll know exactly how we should have lived. But God has given us His Word so that we don't have to wait to die to find out. And He's given us His Spirit to empower us to live that way now.
~ Randy Alcorn
Heaven, then, is not our default destination. No one goes there automatically. Unless our sin problem is dealt with, the only place we can go is Hell, our true default destination when we die.
~ Randy Alcorn
She was home (in Heaven). She was with the Person she was made for, in the place that was made for her.
~ Randy Alcorn
A Barna poll shows that for every American who believes he or she is going to Hell, there are 120 who believe they're going to Heaven.[4] Yet Christ said otherwise: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matthew 7:13-14).
