God has set up a time for each individual who has ever lived to have the contents of their books opened. It may well be that God just plays out all they have ever experienced in a surround sound holographic recreation. A kind of Candid Camera, This was your life with the recorder being this 3-pound wonder atop our bodies that never missed a beat of our life.
When the record books are scanned, no good deeds will be found in the entire lives of unbelievers, and when the book of life is scanned, their names will not be found. The books that report deeds and the books that report faith will testify against them.
NOTHING
WILL BE LOST
Scientists theorize that sound waves are never completely lost but gradually fade beyond detection. With sufficiently sensitive instruments, every word, ever spoken, in the history of mankind presumably could be retrieved. How much more certain can we be that in God’s infallible records every word and deed of mankind is perfectly preserved for use as evidence in the coming judgment!
In the context, this can be none other than God the Father. He is presented to us as the One who transcends all time. He lives in the present, in the past, and in the prospective tenses of time. He cuts across all the ages of time. Hold on this is deep:
To Him, the past is very much alive.
As Dr. Irwin A Moon of Moody Institute of Science says,
All of us have looked up, on a clear night, and seen the sparkling, twinkling stars. But, how many of us have realized that we cannot see the stars as they now are?
Every time we look, we look into the past, seeing them as they were. The nearest naked-eye star, Alpha Centauri, is about four light-years away. The most distant naked-eye object, the Andromeda Galaxy, is about a million-and-a-half light-years away. This means the light has been traveling four light-years or over a million years to reach us. As a result, we are looking into the past.
But this works both ways. If you were on one of the stars, you would – assuming an adequate telescope – see the Earth as it was sometime in the past. From the star Sirius, you can see what you were doing nine years ago because you are still doing it in a profoundly true scientific sense. Yes, everything you have ever done, you are still doing.
The ghost of your past haunts the universe. But remember… God is omnipresent. This means that, for God,
every sin you have ever committed,
every evil thing you have ever done,
you are still doing and will continue to do forever, apart from God’s forgiveness.
Only the omnipotent, eternal God, who controls all the factors of time, space, and matter, could ever remove sin.”
