Because we have read the ending of "the Book" and know what to expect?

And because there is hard evidence under the seas and in the mountains that the end-of-time, at least as how the contemporary folks knew it, has come before. And it has come much more quickly than most are willing to accept.

Iglesias and Kournikova are not married!

December 21, 2004, 11:55:02 Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova have not married, sources have claimed.

According to America's People magazine, the smitten pair did not tie the knot in a romantic Mexican beach ceremony - despite Anna's recent comments that they had married.

A source said: "They definitely did not get married. They're very happy together, but marriage is not something that they're planning in their lives right now." ...

For the same reason that some Freepers are obsessed with stories that are posted more than once - they have nothing better to do.

Because we know at the center of the soul what will come and aren't aware we know it?

Good answer. Everything is finite. Therefore expecting an end of some sort is neither unreasonable nor is it illogical.

A bit egotistical maybe to think that it will happen in our life time but humans are egotistical by nature and see most things as they relate to us.

I fail to see any reason for puzzlement.

It’s because people don’t know there Bible. They Just listen to the sound bites.

There is No End Of The World coming up. If we follow down the wrong path (which it seem like) There will be some very bad hard times coming up but no end times. As in the
end of the world.
It always amazes me that all these people can go to Mass. And chant “ Now And Forever” And “ Forever And Ever Amen” and then go out and say “ The end of the world is near”
Read carefully the kingdom on earth will go on forever & ever.
