End of the world: Gossip and news
These past weeks, I bookmarked and read a lot of articles regarding ‘The End’, doomsday that will happen 7 days from now. This prediction comes from the Mayan Calendar that states that on the 21st of December, Year 2012..our world will going to end. I also watched the film 2012 a couple of years ago and I am fascinated about it. Will it going to happen? It is the end? Agad-agad?
Honestly speaking, I am anxious about the world’s end. The fact that I always evaluate myself and asking: I am ready to see God’s kingdom?, Am I already done with my purpose here on earth? My mind easily gets exhausted when I process these thoughts over and over again.
I’m not a bible wizard, and still a pro about the scripture facts but I know that the end is drawing near. It’s even closer as it gets.
As the scripture says in the second letter of Paul to Timothy (The Dangers of the Last Days)
2 Timothy 3:1-5a ESV
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self,lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit,lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.
The first time I read these verses, I acquire a lot of realizations. Aren’t these things are familiar? People tend to be arrogant, proud, lovers of themselves and money, disobedient to their parents, reckless, brutal, lack of self-control..and the list goes on and on. Oh C’mon!
Many of us are incapable of being satisfied on the things that we have. We still want for more, to the fact that we did not appreciate the little things that God has already given to us because we focused to the bigger picture.
‘lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God’
In the world where Justin Bieber, IPhone5, Windows 8 and Obama reigns, have you considered God as your number one priority? Or you just go with the routines of this world? Paul clearly said that these human behaviors will happen in the last days of this world. So, my hypothesis is..we are already in the last days.
No one knows when the world’s end, even the angels in the heaven don’t have the idea when it will happen but one thing is for sure, if you truly live this life according to His will, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, leave the old you and have a new heart that is sanctified and cleansed through His sacrifices for us..I must say that you will not be afraid on that day; you will welcome His coming with your arms open wide.
I don’t want to go to hell! I don’t want to see my family, my friends and you to be in that place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. If the world will end today or maybe tomorrow or in the 12-21-2012 prediction, ask yourself: ‘Am I ready?’ Or I will permit Satan to benefit my soul? The life here on earth is temporary, yes, we enjoyed to sin but we must devout ourselves and submit it to the Lord. Korny? In this secular world we will be persecuted by some but always remind to yourself that the kingdom of the Lord is far greater (hundred times better) than what we had in this world right now. Invest!..not in this world but to the vast kingdom where Jesus endearment for us awaits.
God loves you! =)
