Title: A Way Forward, Part 2
Topic: Second Coming
Summary: An important first stage in moving from hell to heaven, whether individually or as a cultrure, is to cry out to the Lord, even if we seemingly get no response. That is actually the Lord planting and building a desire in our hearts for something better than our current situation. This desire is a gift-much needed fuel for out journey.

Face of the deep
The face of the deep (Genesis 1:2) signifies the lust of the unregenerate man, and the falsities that originate from it.

Hebrews 4:12-13
12
For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13
There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
