Most of all, here is what you must understand. In the last days people will make fun of the truth. They will laugh at it. They will follow their own evil desires.
They will say, “Where is this ‘return’ he promised? Everything goes on in the same way it has since our people of long ago died. In fact, it has continued this way since God first created everything.”
- 2 Peter 3:3-4 (NIRV)
I've been hearing about the end days since I was growing up in the 70’s, but I hear it more now.
With viruses, disease, wars, and natural disasters, many people believe we are facing the end times right now.
They have "ammunition" and "proof" that the end of the world is imminent.
Remember when the world was supposed to end in 2012 because the Mayan calendar went no further?
Surprise!
We are still here, thirteen years later.
If we take a hard look at the earth and everything that has changed in the last 2,000 years, we will see that there is no truth in the "end is coming" conspiracy theories.
But not everything has changed.
God made the heavens and the earth; they are still here.
God made the fish in the sea and the animals on the land; they are still here.
God made humans, and we are still here.
Let's stop trying to figure out when the world is going to end or when Jesus is coming back and instead live our lives the way He asked us to live.
If we focus more on how we live rather than when we are going to die, the time that we are here will be much better.
