Proof #12: The inevitable decline


The example of life on earth is like that of water that We cause to descend from heaven. Then with it mingles the vegetation of the earth of which both the people and the cattle partake. It continues to be so until the earth blossoms forth in full bloom and ripens into loveliness—then while those who possess it deem themselves supreme over it, there suddenly descends Our decree at night or during the day. Then We render it a field that is mown down as if it had not existed the day before. Thus do we expound our Signs for a people who reflect. (10:25)


This is another expression of the same universal law that governs all life. Like vegetation, life blossoms to a full bloom, then withers away and dies. Is Jesus exempt from this universal law's certainty?
