Better Than Bionic!
Today’s Audio Devotion:
Better Than Bionic!
In the 1970s, Lee Majors starred in The Six Million Dollar Man about an astronaut who was seriously injured in a spaceship crash and rebuilt with bionic parts. Today the concept is no longer science fiction. Doctors can replace organs, bones, corneas, hands and arms, joints and hips, and even faces. Still, only one thing eventually takes care of the aging process—death!
Our earthly bodies are far from perfect, and over time they age and decay. But as Christians we’ll receive new bodies when we get to heaven that are indestructible, incredible, and infinite. They will not get old or break down. From the instant of our resurrection, our new bodies will never wear out nor grow old. They will be totally resistant to deterioration or decay. Your new body will be designed for eternity. It will not be subject to accidents, diseases, aging, or death. It will be pain-free and disease-free. It will never wear out and never die.
If you are ill or hurting today, take a moment to ask God for His healing power, and give thanks for the body to come.
There is a day coming when…all of the maladies of this life are destroyed, when we, in our glorified bodies will live in heaven…eternally fulfilling God’s ordained purpose for us.

Some 2,600 years ago, God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream. In this dream, the king saw a five–part statue made of five different metals (see Daniel 2). Each section represented an empire, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon. Four of these empires have already risen and fallen in history—a clear fulfillment of Daniel's prophetic interpretation. The fifth and final empire indicates a future Europe—a ten nation coalition that will unite under the Antichrist's rule.
You can read about the King's dream and Daniel's interpretation in Daniel 2, but let's take a quick visual look at what you will find:
-
King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon
Daniel's words to the king are clear. "You are this head of gold" (Daniel 2:37–38).
-
Medo–Persian Empire
The Medo–Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 539 BC and remained in power for approximately two hundred years (Daniel 5:28).
-
Grecian Empire
Greece's Empire succeeded the Medo–Persians (Daniel 8:21).
-
Roman Empire
When the Grecian empire was conquered by Rome, all the lands and peoples of the previous kingdoms were assimilated into the Roman Empire through the strengths of the "iron legions of Rome" (Daniel 2:40).
-
Future European Coalition
This empire has not yet risen. Daniel foretells a time when the Roman Empire—Europe—will consist of ten kingdoms or leaders. The future Roman Empire will be present on the earth when God sets up His earthly kingdom (Daniel 2:44).
