The End is Near! Or, maybe not.

This is the kind of hyperbole I was talking about in the previous post, though from a different corner of the political world. It's not the "blame Bush" crowd; I suppose you could say it's the "blame God" crowd, more or less.

People have thought the end times were upon us since Christ ascended, but "of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father (Mark 13:32)."

Historically speaking, the times we live in are some of the most peaceful ever, and the death totals from natural disasters some of the lowest ever.

I'm content to wait and see when the Lord decides to come again, without resorting to the reading of the natural disaster tea leaves to try to nail down the exact moment.

Besides, any of us could have our own personal "end time" at any moment. That's the moment we should all be concerned with, and be ready for.
