About 50 years ago, a worship service holding 400,000 people took place in Bethel, New York. Author Brett McCracken described what was known as Woodstock, the mass gathering celebrating music, drugs, sex, and “peace” defining the counterculture 1960s, as “the festal concert gathering as a spiritual fixture in the liturgies of our secular age.” One attendee proclaimed: “It was indescribable. The feeling that came over me of warmth and Oh my God, there are this many people in the world that think like I think? It was like meeting your brothers and sisters.” Another attendee shouted, “We must be in heaven, man!”
When that many people gather and there is so-called love and peace with people, the first inclination is this must be heaven. A gathering of people “perfectly” expressing love. I was at a restaurant yesterday where they played a bunch of 80s songs. Bryan Adams “Heaven” blared through the speakers. Pretty much every secular song about heaven is always about meeting the dream of your life, falling in love, and then of course, that’s heaven. Even Christians fall into this type of thinking. But is this heaven, meeting random people to get high on drugs and demonstrating for peace OR marrying the person of your dreams?
We are going to seek the answer by looking at Future Marriage, Past Marriage, and Present Marriage.
