“Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?”
–Job 7:1
Each man has an expiration date.
Because each man has an appointed time to spend living on earth. When the appointed time is up, that man dies and is judged.
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment”
–Hebrews 9:27
This time is well-known to God Almighty. In fact, the length of each man’s appointed time is determined BEFORE each man’s birth.
“Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.”
–Psalm 139:16
So, the number of each man’s days has been determined BEFORE he was born.
Of course this all flies in the face of what Satan and his minions whisper in man’s ear. They would have one believe that God has little control over His creation; that man can determine his length of time spent on this earth.
To this end, countless articles appear urging the reader to DO THIS to live longer. Or, DO THAT to shorten your life.
Man’s time is determined and set.
It was recorded in the Bible that a man’s time was lengthened ONCE. The man was King Hezekiah of Israel.
“In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
“Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.”
–Isaiah 38:1-6
Of course, God Almighty knew King Hezekiah would be granted extra years and then die.
After all, it was God Almighty who granted the man extra time.
IF it has been determined that it is one’s time to go, NOTHING will grant that man even one more second of life. Consequently, IF it has been determined that it is NOT one’s time to go, nothing which man (and/or Satan) does can bring about a shortening of that determined time.
This should give end time man much comfort.
But end times man is deceived and does not believe the Word of God.
And so, the media will continue promoting coffee, tea or something else as the latest “wonder” substance to prolong life. And the media will continue promoting various practices which will supposedly add “years” to a man’s life. And the media will continue publishing endless “studies,” “reports” and “experts” which will claim that this or that substance or practice will either shorten or add to man’s days upon this earth.
Because end time man is deceived, he will believe such lies.
Sad.
“Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass”
–Job 14:5
It is not yet too late: there is still time to repent, place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
