When you don't have a faithfilled futureistic outlook forward, the distant past is what is instead entertained.
Yesteryear temporarily helps distract and ease the here and now, of our distorted mirror picture frame.

Many today try their best to look back with fondness, to a time perhaps filled with more pleasant and youthful memories.
In this unfortunate fallen world, you’re young only once, then the former days of life are unreachably gone, when it exuded what appeared to be endless energies…

Events that are then absent, are what seem more dependable.
I suspect the compounding reason why, is because things all around us every day are becoming more and more reprehensible…

Looking forward to the time when the future is the place we will with total delight and confidence focus, instead of the long lost past…
Is it possible there will ever be a time like this, when every next day, will be even brighter than the last?

Will the future ever, everyday be a better time with added endless possibilities?
Will we ever experience the sky’s limitless limit, when we’ll have boundless God given strength, and everlasting capabilities?

Yes! This will be the time when nostalgia itself will be a thing of the forgotten past.
When we no longer have any need to cling to what currently, does not last...

Revelation 21:3,4
3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Job 33:25
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.

Isaiah 65:21-25
They will build houses and live in them, And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.  22 They will not build for someone else to inhabit, Nor will they plant for others to eat.  For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.  23 They will not toil for nothing, Nor will they bear children for distress, Because they are the offspring made up of those blessed by Jehovah, And their descendants with them.  24 Even before they call out, I will answer; While they are yet speaking, I will hear.  25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, The lion will eat straw just like the bull, And the serpent’s food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,” says Jehovah.

Psalm 37:10,11,29
10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there.
11 But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.



Isaiah 65:22b
Days of a tree,

Some trees live for thousands of years.
Can we see, with our minds eye, the idea that Jehovah is implanting within us?
