God Left a Sign For Us All…

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the rest of the world calls butterfly!

The transformation of butterflies and how it relates to our transformation into our heavenly bodies in the rapture….

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the rest of the world calls butterfly.

When you think of God and everything he did to create the universe; he carefully thought out a plan and in this plan was a story for us to see and hear. Most people do not take the time "to smell the roses" so they are not aware of these stories that God has left for us. Signs of the end are all around God left these signs when he created the earth. These signs are here because God intended for those signs to be seen. So let us take a look at the world more closely and our surroundings so we too will know the story.

The Story of God's Creation is where it all began. . .

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth had no form. It was empty, covered with darkness and water. Then the Spirit of God hovered over the water, and God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good.

Then He divided the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Then God said, "Let there be a great expanse of air to divide the waters below from the waters above."

And God called the expanse "heaven." And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Then God said, "Let the water under the heaven be gathered together in one place, and let the dry land appear," and it happened.

And God called the dry land "earth"; and the gathering together of the waters He called "seas": and God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let the earth produce grass, and herbs, and fruit trees, all yielding after their own kind," and it happened; And God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Then God said, "Let there be lights in the heavens; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days, and years." God made two great lights; the sun to rule by day and the moon to rule by night. He also made the stars.

And He set them all in the heavens to give light upon the earth; And God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Then God said, "Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth." So God created great whales and everything that moves in the water, and winged animals-all these producing after their kinds; and God saw that it was good. And He blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply." And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Then God said, "Let the earth be filled with living creatures." So He made the animals on the earth, the cattle, and every thing that crawls upon the earth-all producing after their kinds; and God saw that it was good.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." And the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

So God created man in His own image; and He created them male and female. God named the first man Adam; then later Adam called the woman, Eve.

God created man in his own image; and He created them male and female. God named the first man; Adam; then later Adam called the woman, Eve.

And God said, "A man shall leave his father and his mother and cling to his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed."

And God saw everything that He had made, and it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The heavens and the earth were finished; so on the seventh day God ended his work. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy. The following is information concerning how the story of creation ties into our story of transformation.

From the story of creation we are given an example of how God created the world we live in and everything around us as well. God is great and good and cares for his people that follow him.

What does the Story of creation have to deal with the metamorphous of butterflies and the transformation of humans? A lot. Take a minute to read this and you will clearly see where I am coming from and understand the meaning as well.

God created the earth and he also made each living creature to live on the earth. Here is where I want you to take a moment and think. God created caterpillars as an example of how we as humans will be transformed in the rapture into our heavenly bodies just as caterpillars are transformed into butterflies.

Let's take a minute to think about what I just said and define metamorphous and transformation to see the comparisons as well.

The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines transform as: to change in composition or structure or to change the outward form or appearance of or to change in character or condition.

The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines metamorphous as: a change of physical form, structure, or substance especially by supernatural means, a striking alteration in appearance, character, or circumstances, a typically marked and more or less abrupt developmental change in the form or structure of an animal (as a butterfly or a frog) occurring subsequent to birth or hatching.

Now let's compare these definitions; transform is to change composition or structure and metamorphous is a change in physical form, structure, or substance. (Sounds similar in definition doesn't it). Here is the second half of each definition metamorphous says an alteration in appearance, character, or circumstances and transform says to change the outward form or appearance. (There again sounds similar in definition doesn't it) Ok let's look at the last part of each definition; transform says a change in character or condition and metamorphous says a change in character or circumstance a developmental change in structure; for example a butterfly. Now let's look at the whole picture of each definition each line of the definition states the same thing; is that coincidence I think not. It was planned by God. It is sign for us to use so we will know what to expect what our outcome is when we transform from a human bodied being to a heavenly bodied being. I do not want to bore you with statistics and definition I just wanted to show you the comparison as logical proving data that was left for us to discover and use.

I heard someone once say, "There is nothing about a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." This quote illustrates the change process perfectly. The butterfly represents a thing of great beauty. (God's creation) The caterpillar that metamorphoses into a butterfly has been one of the most enduring symbols of human transformation. A butterfly completely transforms itself from a comfortable cocoon into a radiant entity with wings. You are like a beautiful butterfly waiting to be re-born and transformed. Your time is near ---the rapture is upon us ---- and we followers of Christ will be re-born/transformed into our heavenly bodies. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

'Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over it became a butterfly'...

I believe God gave us the butterfly so that we would understand our purpose, development and metamorphosis in this life. At first a caterpillar is green, ugly and low to the ground with low sight and vision. A good caterpillar will eat everything around it. Then one day it's time for the dark cocoon - a type of death. When it's time to come out and it has truly changed on the inside of that cocoon, it begins to spread its wings. If you see a butterfly struggling and you help it break that cocoon, then you will damage it for life. It must spread its own wings, fully stretch them out and break the bondage and darkness of that cocoon, until it can fly. Once it can fly it is beautiful and has great and high vision. What an awesome living parable of our lives for Christ!

Let me tell you a quick story; God created the universe and left clues for us behind to help us understand what to expect when it's our time to join him.

Once upon a time when God created all the living creatures on earth; he created an outstanding creature that transform/metamorphous into another being. The little squiggly caterpillar has to eat and eat so it can grow and grow; so it can get its brand new outfit. The caterpillar's brand new outfit is it transformation into a butterfly. We will get out brand new outfits in the rapture when we float up into the clouds to Christ our Savior we will be changed instantly into our "Brand New Outfits" ---"Our Heavenly Bodies." I believe God used caterpillars as a metaphor of what will happen to humans that are followers of Christ our Savior in the Rapture. What a magnificent way for God to teach us and inform us of what is yet to come. There are signs like this that God left behind for us to find and use so we too will know what is upon us. (This is the End of this story but only a beginning for the followers of Christ --- so look for the signs and for Christ our Saviors return).

I pray you all have your heads lifted up and are waiting for a butterfly kiss from the Savior. I believe the Rapture is just around the corner and rising from the sand and that butterfly coming out of its cocoon is a sure sign that the Rapture is "Rising" and is coming back or being reborn ...

As J.R. Church says, "Keep Looking Up….for Christ's Return"…..God Bless Each and Everyone and I hope you enjoyed my article on metamorphous and transformation.
