At the end of the last days, our world as we now know it, will melt away with fervent heat. It will be replaced with a New Jerusalem coming down from heaven. Meanwhile, we Christians are to keep our distance from an evil world and the evil one (Satan), who presently has been given power on Earth (by God Himself) to negatively influence us away from worshiping The Creators–Father, Son, and (Holy Spirit?). (Would Adam and Eve have sinned in the Garden of Eden had not there been the negative influence of Satan present?)

In Soul Swim we have the continents pixelated, disguising the identity of unrighteous humanity gone totally rogue. That’s not too dissimilar to the unrighteous neighbors of Noah before the Flood. There’s also the idea of Earth (not the sun) succumbing to its final sunset, as it melts and descends into the nothingness of a watery, space grave.

The retreating swimmer(s) better first start their exit from a doomed spiritual world (by becoming a Christian) in advance of it physically happening, Because once it starts in earnest (think sinking ship metaphor), it’s already finished–in the twinkle of an eye, at the last trumpet’s sound, the dead in Christ shall resurrect in advance of their living counterparts to an ascension in the clouds with our Maker and Savior, Jesus Christ.

So in conclusion, there’s two perspective sides of this swimmer in the water. First off, if he’s not saved, he may be attempting to swim for his life during the Tribulation, to no avail of course, or if he’s a Christian, he may be devoutly swimming away from the unrighteousness of this world in preparation for Christ’s promised return.

(You have to start early swimming from a sinking ship or it will suck you down. You must recognize the need to abandon ship well in advance of the obvious).
