Bible Note: You seem to be persuaded that the end of the world is upon us like maybe tomorrow. I would remind you that the Lord predicted that He would come at an hour when none of us expected it, "like a thief in the night." Also we have previous examples of God's destruction on a wide scale. When he destroyed the world with the flood, He waited until there was so much evil thinking and sinful activity that only Noah and his 7 family members were saved. When God forecasted the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, He negotiated with Abraham all the way down to a mere 10 people. Yet only Lot and his immediate family of 3 made it out of the city alive and of course Lot's wife didn't last long afterwards. What we can conclude from all this? God is incredibly kind and gracious, patient almost to infinity. So I wouldn't fold up shop quite yet. The most important thing for christians to do in this age of questioning and national wavering in belief in God is to stand fast and shine His light round about us. Give comfort to those that need it and encourage everyone "to remain faithful til death," Rev 2:10. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
