The End Times!

You know, I was thinking. Many scholars have debated over the years about exactly what will happen in the "end times". What I mean by that is the second coming of our Lord. There are many things written in scriptures about what the signs will be to herald in the second advent, but people keep wanting to interpret them differently. Will there be a rapture followed by a 1000 year reign of Christ on earth? Will we all be taken up at once for judgement? Maybe something totally different? One thing is for sure though, there will be a second coming.
One thing that all people of faith will agree on is that we will either die or will be taken up in the second coming. Nobody will get out of this thing without answering to God for what kind of life that they have lived. Did we accept Jesus and live a life devoted to him, or did we not? Did we love people as God has loved us or did we not? Jesus warned his disciples about all of the things that they would have to endure because of Him, and He promised them that they would not parish. Not that they wouldn't die but wouldn't parish! Home with Him forever, great idea! I don't know what is to come in the end of this age, all I know is that I am going to live a life that is devoted to Jesus to the best of my ability. Be blessed beyond belief today.

You know, I really enjoy discussing this human concept of time. Biblically, we are told that for God a 1000 years is just a day. 2Pe 3:8-9. Mathematically, all infinity can be described with a simple stroke of a pencil and time very easily treated as a variable. Our God is timeless, has no boundaries and no limits. Time can seem to pass very slowly when you have a 1973 AMC Gremlin on your foot. Who is to say that for one man time can stand still and for another time can fly? I do not think we should be encumbered by our earthly concept of time. We are told very clearly to live in the here and now. Mathew 6:34 states do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day will have enough trouble of its own.
