End of the world

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

Mark 13: 32 (New King James Version)


Last week a friend of mine had sent out a mail which had very well captured photos for the movie called end of the world 2012 . However that particular forward had mentioned in it that the Bible also states that the world would end in 2012 which is of course not correct. My friend then sent out the following mail which well put everything in its proper place . And here is that mail

“"The End of the world."
the name captures the mind...this too going to be another block buster.

Have you ever wondered how, when and how the end of the world would be?

It is ironic that at some point in time, many of us(if not all),have turned ourselves to a prophet, fortuneteller or palmist to spell our destinies for us. All because we are uncertain about tomorrow. What if the world would really end one day? What if there is really a day of judgment? Would we be able to stand before God and incur the reward of the deeds we have done-good or bad?

By way the interesting thing about the movie is, they say the world is coming to an end in 2012. Sounds far-fetched…
But if you are a Christian, you know that Bible never says the year or date.(contrary to the previous mail)
Of course it mentions the end time signs like, re-formation of Israel(1948), world wars, strengthening of south Asian countries(like china, India), earth quakes(last 7 days alone recorded 57 above 5.5), Tsunamis, famines etc. Now that calls for wisdom, to sit back and countdown..

End? don't know when, but the bigger question is, are you prepared to face it??”

The Bible is very clear that only the Father knows when …. But as she well said here is the bigger question… Are we prepared to face it ? We are 2000 years closer to the end :-)

We read in Mark 13: 32-37 " “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. "Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. "It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch."Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— "lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. "And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”"

Verse 34 says the man gave authority to his servants and to each his work ! We being ransomed by the blood of Jesus Christ now have authority and to each has been given his/her work.

What is the work that God has called you to do ? When the Lord comes will we be found faithful in completing our work or will we be found sleeping ?

God Bless
