I don't want to worry about unknown things and I shall just take each day as it comes - unless somebody proves it absolutely of course - in which case I shall panic after I have washed egg off my face,<br /><br />:0)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-83729303739457363742011-04-01T14:08:07.352+01:002011-04-01T14:08:07.352+01:00We are not sure that the end of times won't co...We are not sure that the end of times won't come in our lifetime. Nobody knows and no one can predict or estimate the "date." That's why Jesus keep repeating that we must be watchful because he is coming without any warning. Who knows that the end of times will come next week? next month? next 6 months? next year?, within the next 5 years or 10 years or 30 years...no one knows.It is better to be prepared and be watchful.<br />It says in Mark 13: "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son but only the Father. Take heed, watch; for you do not know when the time will come."<br />In Mark 24: "But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."<br /><br />You know that NOT everything in this world we will know the answers. There is always a mystery that happens in our universe that is best left on faith.I-Love-Hate-America.Comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925822560610028883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-57195349590490436342011-03-31T17:03:34.248+01:002011-03-31T17:03:34.248+01:00Hi Bingkee,

It is restoration or a new beginning of a new earth as revealed in the Book of Revelations. In the modern times, a lot of people including those theologists added false doctrines like Rapture, Armageddon, and Millenialism to predict the "end of the world." But because the Book of Revelations uses a lot of symbols, a lot of Christians even misunderstand the message. <br />But all in all, it sums up that Jesus is coming back and we don't know when ---to judge the living and defeat Satan. <br />Jesus had forewarned people that we must be on "watch" ----meaning to be prepared for his coming and judgment. <br />This is the time, that the present world will be destroyed and a new one will be created.<br />It takes more than "intelligence" to understand this book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-45492419414972968532011-03-29T17:48:49.064+01:002011-03-29T17:48:49.064+01:00Hi drb,
