Our radios,<BR/>phones, and cars, not to mention other modern inventions would be mind baffling to a person of<BR/>the 16th century.<BR/><BR/>Now, let's think of 50 or even 100 years in the future. Modern science and advances will have<BR/>leaped again. Who knows what we will possibly see in our lifetimes or what will become of our<BR/>world after we are gone. But I can tell you this... The world of the future will probably be<BR/>nothing like it is today. We live int he world "as we know it", but that world is ever<BR/>changing so one day it might be the end of the world as WE know it, but it will be the world<BR/>as our great great great great grandchildren know it.<BR/><BR/>Speaking about the "end of the world" is a whole statement in itself. Religiously, I'm not<BR/>sure if I know enough to answer this question. Spiritually, I think a person is screwed if<BR/>they have not found God and it's the end of the world. You do want your golden ticket into<BR/>heaven when it all goes down. There's that movie and book that focuses in on the worshipers of<BR/>God being taken to heaven and spared of all harm or evil when the end comes. Personally, I<BR/>don't think that will happen, but I do think that I want to be on God's good side and be one<BR/>of his followers when the "end" comes. I want to know that when I die I can go to heaven and<BR/>face it... If a large asteroid comes hurling at the Earth and wipes out all life on Earth, we<BR/>will all die. I think it's good to know you will be with all your loved ones in heaven with<BR/>God.<BR/><BR/>Also, I have heard some religious people push that the end of the world has to do with<BR/>religious stuff. I am not so sure about that. God is all powerful. He can control a lot. But<BR/>he can't control us from blowing each other up in a nuclear war. He puts so much faith in<BR/>mankind, but it's mankind that I sometimes don't trust. Will we kill ourselves in the end and<BR/>be our own doom?<BR/><BR/>There are so many science fiction and horror movies and books focused on the "end of the<BR/>world." I do believe that the images and ideals sometimes portrayed in our movies and books<BR/>are sometimes a reflection of our own fears. Who knows, the end of the world may come out of<BR/>an alien attack or a final world war or our destruction of the ozone layer or radiation<BR/>exposure, pollution, or an asteroid destroying Earth, or melting of polar ice caps. Heck, I<BR/>don't know... The "end" may come from a natural event, our own undoing, or something<BR/>unimaginable like contact with an alien race. I do believe if the end comes, it will have to<BR/>be be because something happened that made it come. It won't just come. Did Y2K kill us all?<BR/>No, but some things in life can happen. It would have to be something so powerful that it<BR/>kills us all or kills many leaving survival near to impossible for the living. For instance, I<BR/>would be screwed if we were suddenly stripped of modern electricity and put back into a time<BR/>of no outlets because I take medicine from a machine that plugs into a wall. In the "end", it<BR/>may become survival of the fittest or maybe... we'll just be all wiped out at once. But<BR/>something will have to happen to cause the "end" to come.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe the end will never come and humans will continue to advance with our world changing<BR/>with us. No one knows and time can only tell, but the end of the world will be a debate till<BR/>the world does end. As it's ending, people will probably be discussing this question and<BR/>debating it's answer.<BR/><BR/>It kind of reminds me of that song, "It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel<BR/>fine." My question is what would you be doing if you knew that the end was coming? What would<BR/>you want to be doing if you knew it would come and you could die? What would you want to be<BR/>doing that last few minutes before the "end."<BR/><BR/>That's my food for thought. You don't have to answer. Just curious....<BR/> <BR/><BR/>and here is her husbands comment<BR/><BR/>our world can end in a multitude of ways...it depends on what you mean by<BR/>world...world as in our earth...earth will be here a long time, until of course the sun goes<BR/>to red giant and sometime years after that nova...our world as in reality...it could be<BR/>infinite because our new reality would be heaven if we die and heaven is infinite...while this<BR/>reality here is finite in space and time...<BR/><BR/><BR/>JeanneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527333057358485410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623813728792653822.post-30681666018899578742007-01-31T16:01:00.000+00:002007-01-31T16:01:00.000+00:00I talked to a few people.

Partly because I'm not spiritually where I need to be and partly because I want to think that Mary-Alice will have a long and happy life ahead of her. <br /><br />I do believe that we are going through some hard times right now but haven't people been saying the end is near for like ever. I mean the year I graduated from High School was supposed to be the year the world ended because it was the number of the beast times 3(where ever that came from). Well we are still here and there isn't a person running around claiming to be the new messiah that I know of anyway.<br /><br />I also know that the temple has to be rebuilt before the end times come and it hasn't been rebuilt yet. I know they are talking about it but there are more signs then just anarchy that signify the end times. I'm just not seeing them yet. I also haven't heard of lots of people just up and disappearing across the planet. Wouldn't that be a big sign that no-one could ignore?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527333057358485410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623813728792653822.post-81006958225689416862007-01-19T15:46:00.000+00:002007-01-19T15:46:00.000+00:00Thanks, miss anna, for a thought-provoking comment...Thanks, miss anna, for a thought-provoking comment!<br />The whole post is very cool (IMHO) but my favorite part is:<br />"...living it out and not just reading it but in doing also as to not remain stagnant..."<br /><b><i>Spiritual Stagnation is Deadly !</b></i><br />~ AlexAlexander M Zoltaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834377275741541185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623813728792653822.post-69554223728918286842007-01-19T03:47:00.000+00:002007-01-19T03:47:00.000+00:00By being prepared I mean be prepared to meet God f...By being prepared I mean be prepared to meet God for whenever the moment should occur. By being ready spiritually to be secure in knowing where one is going after that last breath. For me that is deeper into a relationship with God by prayer and reading scripture in my belief. To meditate upon the scriptures as well. Also; living it out and not just reading it but in doing also as to not remain stagnant. So, to show what one believes by actions and not just in words alone. It truly makes a difference. At least most recently for me.

I just hope that I have lived my life the right way and that I teach my daughter to live her life the right way so we can meet in heaven. I can't help thinking that I have made some terrible mistakes in my life and hope that I am forgiven for them.<br /><br />I don't think that the "End" is going to be the end of humanity or the end of the planet. In fact the bible says that there will be times of tribulation at the end. To me this says that people are still going to be here at the end. Those people will have to find their way to God during the hardest time ever.<br /><br />I think that the "End" is a long way off and I will content myself working on my relationship with God, which is in a state of confusion right now, and making a good life for my Daughter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527333057358485410noreply@blogger.com
