Listening to another doomsday philosopher on social media.
So sad.
The Bible says:
"But about that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Matthew 24:36
So stop worrying about it. Live your life as Jesus advised us to do so. Follow the two commandments:
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind," and "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Matthew 22:37-39
Jesus simplified things so much for us, and here we are, cowering like the apostles in the time between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Live your life as Jesus told us. Jesus is the Alpha..AND THE OMEGA. When the time comes, as it will for all of us, whether through personal bodily functions ending or universal calamity, He will be there to receive us. He has been there always. Have faith in the very Bible that you quote so much!
Jesus gave us a single prayer. It is the only one that we need. In it, we request bountiful resources ("our daily bread" and to be forgiven our sins - as we also should forgive those who sin against us, meaning "let he who is without sin..." and that judgement is for God alone. - and to be DELIVERED FROM EVIL. Notably, Jesus did not tell us to pray for the elimination of evil. Evil must exist, but we must have the will to resist it and we pray that we have as little contact as possible with it. This is the way. Jesus spelled it out so plainly for us, yet we still find ways to shake our own faith.
Be strong. Not violent. Do not judge. Jesus will be there. The Alpha and the Omega.
Sheesh.
