Images from the left:1) Northern Lights glow in the winter darkness in Finnish Lapland. 2) In spring, cherry trees are the first to bloom, white or pink. 3) In the summer, ripe cherries are collected, and in late summer, other fruits, berries from berry bushes, vegetables, and grain from the fields. Berries and mushrooms are also collected from the forests. 4) In the fall, deciduous trees dress up in their festive costumes and Lapland turns into a magnificent autumn.
Let's reread the pictures' Bible verses
>>21 And the Yehowah smelled a sweet savour; and Yehowah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.<< Genesis 8:21-22
>>1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them; 2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few,<< Preacher 12:1-3a
>>15 And he said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned.<< Mark 16:15-16
Seasons and periods of human life
In the Nordic countries there are four main seasons, which remind us of the transience of earthly life. Similarly, our human life can be divided into four different periods, which are clearly different from each other. The characteristic of a period is that it has a beginning and an end. The fourth period is the ripening of the human grain and its harvest.
4) Autumn is the time of harvest in nature, the gathering of the harvest of the earth. We humans too, after living our earthly lives, will be gathered to Hades to await the resurrection. Blessed are those who have part in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them! All people will be raised to the last judgment.
Even in old age, you can still find eternal life!
If for some reason you have not yet found your way to your Creator or if you have been led astray, you can still call out to the name of Yeshua on your deathbed and be saved!
However, do not postpone your decision of faith until then, because you can die unexpectedly today!
Adonai Yeshua also wants to save all apostates and those who are tired of their lives, because he loves all of us, his creatures! He created us for heaven.
Salvation is a gift of grace, and it cannot be earned. Even the best walk or deed of people is not enough in the eyes of our Creator to save our souls. Only the blood sacrifice of Yeshua is enough!
Think carefully about where you are going?
None of us will live on earth forever, and the length of a human life is shorter than an atomic second compared to eternity! That is why it is foolish to amass great wealth here, because none of us will take a penny with us to the grave beyond the boundary of time. We can only take our living acts of love there.

1) Winter can be compared to when a person is born into the world. Unless he is aborted and allowed to be born, he is most often born into a hostile environment, where a struggle for life and death prevails from the very beginning. He may be born into a dictatorship, where a tyrant keeps him as a slave, i.e. for his own use in order to increase his power and wealth.
2) I parallel the spring season, when man is told in his childhood the Good News of the love of Almighty Yehowah Elohim, which he showed by sending his Son HaMashiach Yeshua, born of a virgin and made man, into the world. He atoned for our sins as a sinless person on Golgotha, on the cross, died and rose from the dead on the 3rd day.
3) Summer is a time of growth. We believers grow in Adonai Yeshua like grains in grace, in the knowledge of his heavenly Father. Adonai Yeshua came to earth to tell us how merciful and good the Father is, because He did not even spare his own Son from vicarious suffering and death! The Bible and the Holy Spirit guides us in everything.
4) Autumn is the time of harvest in nature, the gathering of the harvest of the earth. We humans too, after living our earthly lives, will be gathered to Hades to await the resurrection. Blessed are those who have part in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them! All people will be raised to the last judgment.
