Revelation 18-19

I will keep reading because I love the challenge, but I think it is time to quit taking the time to comment. Thanks to everyone who stuck with this for most of the summer. I enjoyed our "chats".
A pipe burst in the middle of the night in our master bath. I woke up at 5:30 and stepped into water in the master bedroom. There are pictures on Facebook. I don't know where anything is, and I realized I have way too much stuff. Not looking forward to putting it all back. Thank goodness it was downstairs and not upstairs.
This challenge has opened my eyes to the depth of the New Testament. I have read parts which I would have never read, as they are not part of most Bible studies. Thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteRevelation 18-19 leaves no doubt. Warnings of the future of the world are pretty clear. It is funny that you mentioned the homeless in a previous comment. In Ishmael, the author categorized people into Takers and Leavers. He said the Leavers of today are the homeless. They don't 'buy' the story which all of us have come to know as civilization. The Bible has the warnings, and the rules to live by to get us close to the way we should be, but we were all born into this way of life and making a living by working so we can put food on the table and a roof over our head have limited how far we can go in achieving a pure Leaver existance.
I hope the world does not end as was prophesised in Revelation, but population growth out of control and it has to end. In Ishmael, the author says, when you flap your arms after falling off a cliff, it seems it is working until you see the ground rushing up. That is what Revelation says to me.
Yes - I have wondered about population growth - especially when you hear stories about the Duggar (sp?) family and the TV programs about 8 is Great and the octagenarian mom. As we become more able to fight disease, big families can become a burden to the world. I wonder if people are thinking about that. I doubt it.
