... The End is near
... Jesus may come back tomorrow...
...What if you died tonight...
...A guy on the street corner holding a sign...
...Or a fire and brimstone pastor scaring children about hell...
,,,it's a simple message and it's meant to completely turn your world upside down...
...Because the thing is... believing the message may in fact turn your life upside down...It tells a person time is short... Live like it's your last day on earth... Get the most out of each day... Proclaim the gospel to those around you... Don't worry about hardships because they will be over soon... and especially... Don't worry about that new car or that big house cause it's going up in fire anyways...
... and then comes nuclear war and Armageddon...

"...Conspiracy theorists unite...
...Look for a one-world government and one currency and all that... Wars and natural disasters... Israel being put back on the map... 1/3 of the world will go up in fire (Nuclear Weapons)... The night will be as bright as the day (Electricity)... Everyone will see Jesus at the same time (Satellites)... The power of the saints will finally be defeated... Science and the media are doing a pretty effective job of it... An army of millions and millions on horseback (China's standing army is 200 million and still rides horses)..."
... Is it too much...? ...Maybe...
... Being aware that you can die is one thing... but believing that the end is almost assure entirely different... And may backfire into... eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die... stop caring about your life past today... press the panic button... or worse yet press the big red nuclear 'button' and invite the end here even faster... self-fulfilling prophecies anyone...?
...But is Armageddon really at hand... Or are we looking too hard...?
... Think about this...
...In the Salem witch trials the pastor of the church had preached for a year on 'enemies in the church' and on witches and the occult... so when girls started having visions they immediately assumed 'enemy' and 'witch'... and they had a witch hunt...
...A few towns over the pastor had preached a year on the workings of the Holy Spirit... and when girls had visions in that town the people said it was the Holy Spirit... they had a revival... In fact the second of the great American revivals...
... So the signs are there to be read any way you want... Utopia or Armageddon...
...for my part I hope the Armageddon crew doesn't win.
