English term
pie in the sky by and by
English to Portuguese
Social Sciences
Religion
theology
Having addressed sin, pain, preaching, and public life, Sam Storms challenges us to live, like Calvin, with one foot raised, ready for heaven. Far from “pie in the sky by and by,” we’ll see that having one’s head in the biblical clouds is essential to being of real earthly good. Sam picks up on the pilgrim and suffering refrains and shows us why heaven will be heaven, and how meditating on the glory and joy to come gives the prac¬tical power for enduring unjust suffering, overcoming worldliness, and responding well to loss and rightly to death.

Pie in the sky
Meaning: An un-achievable dream, a fantasy.
Example: I'm waiting for the day I win the biggest ever Lotto 649 jackpot, but when I tell this to people they say it's pie in the sky.
Origin: Derived from a parody circulated in a Trade Union song book of a classic Ira Sankey hymn. The parody reads: "You will eat by and by/ In that glorious land in the sky / Work and pray, live and hay, / There will be pie in the sky by and by."
Mocking the belief that all our earthly sufferings will be rewarded in Heaven when we die.
Apparently our just reward is... pie!

Ou seja, a esperança de brevemente termos uma vida melhor que essa. Não importava quão ruim fosse a vida aqui e agora, alimentava-se a esperança de uma vida melhor depois dessa.
