Three young people were killed when a car crashed into a hairdressers' studio on Monday—the driver and two passengers. One, a nineteen year old girl, had recently been given the all clear following a cancer diagnosis. Her mother described her as a happy go-lucky person and had a lovely outgoing personality that meant she embraced life to its fullest.

What springs to mind is the old saying: If the bullet has your name on it ...

Do we all have a time to die? Maybe it's useless to fight against the sure and certain eventuality.

The Bible tells us that “all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:16). So, yes, God knows exactly when, where, and how we will die. God knows absolutely everything about us (Psalm 139:1-6). So does this mean our fate is sealed? Does this mean we have absolutely no control over when we will die? The answer is both yes and no, depending on the perspective.

The answer is "yes" from God’s perspective because God is omniscient—He knows everything and knows exactly when, where and how we will die. Nothing we can do will change what God already knows will happen. The answer is "no" from our perspective because we do have an impact on when, where, and how we die. Obviously, a person who commits suicide causes his own death. A person who commits suicide would have lived longer had he not committed suicide. Similarly, a person who dies because of a foolish decision (e.g., drug use) “expedites” his own death. A person who dies of lung cancer from smoking would not have died in the same way or at the same time if he had not smoked. A person who dies of a heart attack due to a lifetime of extremely unhealthy eating and little exercise would not have died in the same way or at the same time if he had eaten healthier foods and exercised more. Yes, our own decisions have an undeniable impact on the manner, timing, and place of our death.

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

― Mark Twain

One of the things the seer Edgar Cayce revealed gives pause for thought. We are spiritual beings residing in one of the many levels of Heaven. Sometimes, we elect to come to Earth to learn a lesson. Before we are born, we chose three points when we could die. Each one can be avoided if we are not ready. Once we've arrived, most of us forget our former home. There have been examples of children and people who remember a former life. In one case, an English woman took a research team to a place where she claimed to have lived. They found evidence which backed her statement.

I was sure I'd die at the age of sixteen. A sort of a fateful thing. Yet, I wasn't ready because I lived on. I could have died twice since then. Next time might be my moment. I'm ready to leave this earthly body behind and I anticipate the next stage with joy. I hope I've learned the lesson I chose.

What do you think about a specific time to die?
