The End

When will THE END come, a question that even Jesus could not answer when asked by the Apostles.

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32

Jesus did not know how long God, the Ultimate Father, would be patient with us. How patient are we with our own kids? He is even more so, giving us chance after chance, thankfully. But even his patience will run out.

In 1960, 98% of US citizens claimed to be Christian or Jew, with less than 1% claiming the religion of atheism, a belief in no god of any kind. In 2009, only 78% polled claimed to be Christian or Jew, and atheism grew to a whopping 15%. How do you think that happened?

Did we evolve by accident or were we intentionally created?

If you ever study the complexity of the human eyeball, you can only wonder how it could have happened by accident. One would have to win the Big Lottery millions of times before that could happen, at least statistically, and of course it was no accident.

As we have kicked God out of the public school system (He used to be there you know) and the Ten Commandments out of libraries and court houses, have things gotten better or worse? Has crime gone up, or down? Has there been a pedophilia explosion? A divorce explosion? Are children more polite to adults today or the days of God still having a place, small but there, in the school system? The school was the only place that many children ever heard about God and his teachings, and rules.

Of course, it's certainly not politically correct to have God in the public square. That might be an endorsement of God, and the intellectual elite tell us that's a no-no, it might offend others who might worship Molech or Zeus.

I think God wants to be endorsed, especially after all the blessings he has bestowed on this country since the days of the Revolutionary War. He told us he was a jealous God right there in Exodus 20:5,

"You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.."

I have to ask why we, as Christians and Jews, believers in the God of Abraham, have allowed this to happen. Why have we appeased those who would have you believe that God is a myth? Or was it our parents that allowed it to happen?

God's journey out the schoolhouse door really began in 1963, when Madalyn Murray O'Hair, a reknowned atheist, successfully sued a Maryland school district because she didn't want her child exposed to such mythicism. I was in the 10th grade then, so I couldn't do a lot about it.

Somebody dropped the ball, and we, the baby boomers never picked it back up.

God's patience is running out, the prophetic signs are happening every day for those who care to see, people are laughing and mocking the belief in God, just like they were doing in the days of Noah, and then it started raining.

"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."

Matthew 24:37-39

How long will God put up with our stuff?
