Have you ever wished you could see into tomorrow to find out what it holds for you? People spend lots of money to try and do just that. Palm Readers, Fortune Tellers, Ouija Boards, Tarot Cards, Horoscopes and the list goes on, are all ways that people want to see what their future holds. In reality you can see into tomorrow. That is if you are in the right place.
Between the Russian mainland and Alaska there are a couple of islands. They are the Diomede Islands. The larger one "Big" Diomede is part of Russia. The smaller one "Little" Diomede is part of the state of Alaska. They are about two and a half miles apart. The interesting thing is that the International Date Line runs between the two Islands. Therefore, you can stand on the shore of Little Diomede and cast your eyes on Big Diomede. When you do you are looking 21 hours into the future. You are looking at tomorrow.
In fact, with permission of course, you could get into a boat head out from Little Diomede to Big Diomede, check out tomorrow and then come back to today. That's about a half hour trip there and back. While on the big island you can look back at yesterday and come back to today on your trip home.
Of course you can't predict what will happen to you on that island, but there is one lesson that can be learned from visiting tomorrow. There is one constant that you can always count on. That is that Jesus Christ is the same Yesterday, and Today and Forever. (Heb. 13:8)
With this in mind we can always look into tomorrow with the confidence that our Savior will be there to meet us.
