Luckie, I figure you missed my repeated stating that the world never ends. Not now.
Not ever.
This age of lawlessness will end with a bang. And the Restoration of all things is immediately after that bang.
The Redeemer likened where we are right now to labor pains. They are going to increase until the baby is born.
That baby is the Millennium Rest (oration) under the real Messiah.
As for a book, I had a selection of books and I deducted that ONE of them is the truth and all the rest are lies and shades of lies.
Nothing else is possible within contradictory positions.
I did what the one book among books said and I got the stated result.
There is a personal God who said to know (not merely know about) Him is to have Life.
I have heard the testimony of two people in 4 decades who were having a ducky time in their life and jumped into Jesus' arms when they got the idea.
TWO people out of hundreds of people I listened to or know personally.
All the rest of us came out of seeking, knocking and circumstances which intently encouraged finding answers to the heavy duty questions of life.
I did not settle for the "We are just accidents out in space" BS that goes against all observation and logic.
The narrow way IS narrow because we are repulsed by the very idea of humbling ourselves.
Admitting we need to know the way is being honest.
And we have an enemy blowing into our minds lies and nonsense.
7 times in the book of Revelation Jesus says to OVERCOME.
We are to overcome the flesh, the pride of life and the devil.
Go for it.
You need to overcome Jesus so you can overcome yourself. Nothing stands in the way of turning you from what you are now to something closer to a marginally acceptable primate other than yourself.
