Welcome to the blog. I promise the bulk of things written on here will not be this...strange. But this is what's on my mind at the moment and one has to begin somewhere.
I'm watching the DV-R'd portion of a History Channel special on the seven signs of the Apocalypse. Now, my grandfather was a student of many things--Nostradamus being one of them--and I remember finding one of his books as a very young child. Papa would talk about the book of Revelation in these dark, mysterious tones that gave me chills. The fact is I have been terrified of the end times as long as I can remember. But as I'm watching this show, I am strangely calm. It is quite interesting. Since pouring over Nostradamus as a child, I have formed my own thoughts about the end of the world and one of them is this: God created the world with the foreknowledge of its end. He already knew the exact moment it would all be over. So it does not surprise me one bit that the earth has sort of an expiration date, if you will. Scientists look at the condition of our planet with alarm as though they expect it to be eternal when the only eternal home we'll ever know certainly won't come with polluted skies and fault lines. So, the Yellowstone caldera could erupt any year now? There's a star 8,000 light years away that may have already exploded and is battering our planet with gamma rays as we speak? I have the answer.
"For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord."
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
