THE END ?
–of the world
–of my world
–of America
–of ‘normal’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THE END ?
–of everyday life as we know it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everybody’s talking about the end.
Or, they’re thinking about it.
Preachers—either scared to talk about it, and avoiding it–or saturated with teaching on the end times, how everything’s laid out in a time line for the next millennium ‘according to the Bible.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it really going to end ?
Just how will it end ?
Then what ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It hasn’t ended yet.
People keep stashing money for retirement—still seems to be working.
Day of reckoning for the national debt hasn’t happened.
Prediction of the coming economic crash—the Great Depression like a rippling brook compared to the roar of Niagara Falls inevitably right around the corner—that fifty-year-old prediction hasn’t happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobody has time to think about ‘IT.’
IT=everything going on all over, that can’t possibly continue—unsustainable—unthinkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can’t think about the unthinkable because it’s unthinkable, so we don’t think about it—just wait and see—what happens, will happen—we’ll deal with it then. *
Takes all we’ve got, and more, to just make it through another day—already on borrowed time, borrowed energy, borrowed finances, borrowed goals (vanishing dreams), borrowed mental capacity, borrowed emotional wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can we avoid what’s coming ?
Can we possibly prepare for what’s coming ?
Seems like all reporting and commentary and advice is just hoping for and coping with an extension of the same, before anything really happens to disrupt our lives big time.
Nobody knows what to say or do to get ready for what’s coming—just like no one knows how to lead the necessary revolution against the wayward government, immediately, before we completely lose this country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is this the first time in history without a leader for the people, for freedom ?
Nothing, NOTHING is stopping the disaster, now !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME . . . on this site.
“This is our time.
Like it or not—we will live it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now add the big one—
THE END
–of my life
–of your life
–of everybody’s life
–and then what ?
How many people treat that the same way ?
–“I don’t want to think about it.”
–“I don’t want to talk about it.”
–“I’ll wait and see, and deal with it then.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
History repeats, apathy returns people to slavery, and the world goes on.
But people don’t.
Historical perspective should help, but “The one thing we learn from history is that we don’t learn anything from history.”
The end is coming—yes.
The end is near—perhaps.
My end is coming—yes.
My end is near—any time, getting closer.
So, we need a greater source for wisdom, for our end, for each of us individually, for me, for my end, and then what ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is appointed to man once to die, and after that the judgment.”
“Lord, I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold.
I would make sure of heaven, I would enter the fold.
In the Book of Thy Kingdom, is my name written there ?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to Jesus today.
Tell Him you’re sorry for your sins.
Accept His payment for you.
Ask Him to write your name in His book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
* The following describes the troubling mindset in nazi Germany, which could apply to many Americans today:
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
