I had a wonderful meditation last night on the End of the Age:

Revelation 14: 6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth--to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people-- 7 saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."

Internal meaning:

An announcement of the Lord's advent, and of a new church to descend from Him out of heaven, - to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people - to all people who, owing to religion, are prompted by goods, and owing to doctrine are guided by truths. [7] An admonition not to do evil, because it is to act against the Lord. and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; An acknowledgment and confession that all the Word's truth comes from the Lord, and that everyone will be judged in accordance with it, and that the Lord alone is to be worshiped, because He alone is the Creator, Savior, and Redeemer, and because the angelic heaven and the church and everything in them originate from Him alone. ~ Apocalypse Revealed 612 ~ Swedenborg

As much as things change, the Lord always stays the same

But before He can come to us we must do our part – through obedience to His law

You may wish to look at the life of the Apostle Paul.

Phl 3:3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God [fn] and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh--

Phl 3:4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

Phl 3:5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

Phl 3:6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.

Phl 3:7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

Paul wouldn't agree with it nor does his life reflect it.

I'm not sure I would trust Google for my theology.
