But the first thing, this is, okay, I'm gonna be nitpicky and I apologize for this.

Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz and this is The Senture Presents.

So someone recently asked me this question, they said, does God take us when he feels like

our time here is over?

Now, taking out the word feel, that what do you think?

When God thinks our time here is over.

Even the phrasing of the question, again, I'm not trying to be too nitpicky, but I think it's important. The phrasing of the question is, well, yeah, God just thinks this, but he could be wrong when we say it like that. God feels this,

but he could be wrong. God thinks this, but he could be wrong, as opposed to, does God take us

to himself when our work here is over? That's it, because remember, God is not one among many. He is the only one, right? God is not an opinion. God is truth.

God is fact. God does not take us when he feels that our work here is done or when he thinks

our work here is done. The question most clearly phrased is, does God take us to himself

when our work here is done? And the answer is, I don't really know. You're like, wow,

you just wasted a lot of time to tell us that you don't really know. You're like, wow, you just wasted a lot of time

to tell us that you don't know something. Well, wait, there's more about what I don't know. Because

here's what we do know. We do know that God is omniscient, right? God knows everything. So he knows,

I mean, scripture even talks about how God knows that our days are numbered. Like that God knows how many breaths we have. God knows how many beats of our heart that we get in our lifetime.

That God, he already knows, right?

He's outside of time and he's also present to us in time.

And he knows.

So in some ways, we'd say that absolutely,

God knows and he takes us to himself when our work here is done

in some ways like that, right?
