Are you one of those people who's waiting for the rapture, the end of the world, the end of times as we know it today. Do you think that it is going to happen soon or within your lifetime? The second Messiah or savior of the world is on its way and you know that you are a decent and good follower of your religion, so there's no fear, only feelings of pleasure and want.
Since you are a good person and believe that your religion is truthful, you have no fear or maybe just a little bit of fear that you will be one that is going to be left behind. Maybe it was something you did in the fifth grade or something you said to somebody that you really didn't mean, therefore it doesn't count against you.
I was talking to someone the other day when they mentioned that the end of times was near and if I didn't repent and join their religion, I wasn't going to enter the holy Kingdom or the promised land. I get tired of listening to these people but more tired of those who are preaching, "the end of times is near and upon us." Somehow they see their place in heaven as something wonderful. All of their fears, frustrations and problems will now be left behind as they enter through the gates of the holy land.
It's almost like these people will be washed clean of all the problems but will somehow keep their same personality. Most of these people create their own personal hell on earth because of their personality and who they have become. Do you think it's going to be much different somewhere else.
You're going to find this hard to believe but I've been listening to the end of the world for over 40 years. I've heard almost every excuse, possibility and reason, why the world is going to end, either this year, or the next, but either way it's going to end very soon.
Here's a word of wisdom for those seeking a better place somewhere else, make the most out of your life, here on earth. Don't just study your religion but study those whom you fear or distrust. If you're a Christian, study Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam. If you're one of the others then seek some knowledge and wisdom but most of all try to find some compassion for your fellow believers and other religions.
