It's NOT the End of the World .... and I Never Said It Was

Wow, the last lunar eclipse has occurred and the scoffers have come out of the wood work.  Pastor JD Farag used a quote a few weeks back that if you are going to be in ministry you must have "the mind of a scholar, the heart of a child, and the hide of a rhinoceros.”.

I need to work on the rhino part... Here at Abigail and Dolley someone commented that I talk about "The End of the World" and nobody really wants to think about that.

I wanted to cry.  I wanted to weep and say, "If you've ever actually read my work, you would know that I've never written about the end of the world, ever."

If you've ever read my blog, you'd know that it is the Rapture we are looking for, not the end of the world.

If you've ever read the blog, you would know that I call out warnings as a watch man on the wall; Danger is approaching.  What kind of person would I be if I see what I see and keep silent?

If you'd ever read my work, you would know that I have a terrible fear for those left behind and I've poured my heart and soul into every piece; all 400 of them.

If you'd actually ever looked at the posts you would know that I've never set a date, ever.

The sad thing is, that you won't read even this and after I'm gone Google will nuke this blog spot and what I was trying to say to you will be gone too.  (For the record - it won't be the end of the world then either...)

Talking to a Brick Wall

30 Days of Birth Pangs - Day 7 Scoffers

2 Peter 3:3-4  Know this first of all, that in the last days scoffers will come with their scoffing, following after their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."

The Greek word for scoffer in this passage means to mock.  In English to scoff is to speak to someone or about something in a scornfully derisive or mocking way. Synonyms;  mock, deride, ridicule, sneer at, jeer at, jibe at, taunt, make fun of, poke fun at, laugh at, scorn, laugh to scorn, dismiss, make light of, belittle.

Scoffers who Scoff

Thus, a fulfillment of prophecy is that those who believe that the Rapture is imminent are scoffed at.  Even among family and friends, if you are looking for the Lord's return, there will be a whole lot of eye rolling.  The irony is that Jesus himself said:  "What I say to one, I say to all; watch." (Mark 13: 37).  In the Olivet Discourse in Luke and in Matthew, He clearly outlines the signs of the times and what to look for, yet it is easier to mock something than it is to actually look into it.

Sadly, many of the mockers are self proclaiming Christians.  They are in love with this world and have check marks to make on their bucket lists.  There is a new house to buy and a new vacation to take and all this talk about prophecy just brings them down... Know this, one day Jesus WILL return, one day the greatest miracle of the age will occur, and most of the scoffers will be left behind.
