Too many are so wrapped up in “end times” speculation that they forget that the world doesn’t have to come to an end for their world, and the world of their lost neighbors and relatives, to come to an end (Ps 90:12). Laden down with the complacent view that “Jesus is surely coming soon to catch me away from all of this”, they turn Mat 16:18 around and cower in their little churches on the hill, waiting for Jesus to arrive with the heavenly calvary and save them from being overrun by Satan’s beseigning forces. I sometimes wonder if the even know Him (Matt 7:21-27).

Some years ago I read Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. One of the things he mentioned that stood out for me is that when the end times do come and Jesus arrives again, it will not be a cheerful time.

One of the things I read in the Bible was Jesus stated that the end times will not come until everyone on earth knew his name. I suppose with today's modern communications, that time is getting closer and closer.

Amen!
