The song “Earth s new distant shore” was written around the time the song by John Lennon called “Imagine” had been released. Lennon s song spoke of a time when the divisions due to religion and national interests would be eliminated. Religions involvement in war is a sad truth, when religion should have been a tool for peace. The song said “Imagine there is no heaven…..no Hell below us” distorted religious concepts. Example: Hell , where the bad burn forever sentenced there by a God who IS LOVE. Really,… what loving parent would discipline his unruly child by burning his arm off not to mention his whole body forever. Such a parent would be imprisoned. The concept lacks common sense when fire completely destroys something out of existence not burns something forever. Fire as used in the Bible is simply removing from existence as opposed to wind and water which damage but doesn’t totally remove all signs of an object leaving unrecognizable ashes that dissipate with the wind. So Lennon was right….”no Hell below us”
The song “Earth’s New Distant Shore” focuses on that world in “Imagine” where the negatives in todays world will no longer exist. Such a concept is mentioned in Psalm 37:10,11 and 29, “And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace……vs.29. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside FOREVER upon it.” Forever in the pleasantness of a peaceful and enjoyable life. The song asks , “Where are the old and in the ground, they are young and alive and singing aloud” The elimination of death and old age take out the final stakes of sadness and negativity. Then the song then asks, “If you’ll just listen long enough perhaps you will see it s just not puff”. So there is NO HELL, just non-existence or “Earths new distant shore” Forever.
