‘Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the Earth beneath.
For the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
the Earth will grow old like a garment,
and those who dwell in it will die in like manner;
but My salvation will be forever;
and My righteousness will not be abolished.’
(Isaiah 51:6)
Reflect for a moment…
What happens in our bodies as we age,
with specific regard to water?
Water is often regarded as the essence of life. I believe a person’s spirit and soul are the essence of life, simply because they are eternal. A person’s physical body is temporal. 1
Typically, as we age, the normal balance between our water intake and outtake is significantly disturbed. Our thirst sensation weakens, triggering dehydration. The muscles of the urinary system weaken, triggering uncontrolled flows (outtake). Dehydration dries the skin, which may sag due to significant loss of water weight. 2
Now consider the extent to which our bodies, created from dust/dirt, are akin to …a microcosm of Earth! 3
In the 8th century BC/BCE, The Lord God (Jesus Christ) revealed to Isaiah, a Jewish prophet, ‘…Earth will grow old like a garment…’ 4 Look around and you will clearly see a MAJOR aspect of this prophecy becoming history. Earth is manifesting a serious imbalance in its water system.
Though scientists have long believed the amount of water on Earth is finite, many now believe this is incorrect, and that, as the planet heats up, more water is being evaporated into space. The imbalance is manifesting itself in unprecedented, extreme droughts in some areas, and extreme floods in other areas, as if the planet's whole water system is out of sync.
The close correlations between Earth growing old and a human body growing old are undeniable. Yet so many people on the Earth flat out deny any correlations between The Lord’s prophecies and our history.
Do you??
Our history is ‘His-story’!

1 Essence - the most significant element, quality, or aspect of a person or thing. The most significant elements, qualities or aspects of a human being in this life is one’s spirit and soul because they are eternal. Though a person’s physical body is temporal, The Lord God (Jesus Christ) promises every human will receive an eternal, physical body in one of two planned remaining resurrections. See: For You, Which Resurrection? (Poem) I say ‘remaining’ because Matthew 27:51-53 indicate all first and second ages saints were resurrected and raptured into Heaven, which is likely the new Earth The Lord promised Isaiah (about 7 centuries before His virgin birth) He was creating.

2 Search the web for or more on this imbalance and the major issues it can trigger.
3 See: How is the Human Body Like Planet Earth?
4 During the 1st century AD, The Lord confirmed this prophecy in Hebrews 1:10-12. This is consistent with His core principle to let every important matter be established (confirmed) by or in the mouth of two or three witnesses. (Deuteronomy 17:6, 19:15, Matthew 18:16, 2 Corinthians 13:1, 1 Timothy 5:19, Hebrews 10:28)
