The readings for Sunday, November 15th include: Daniel 12:1-13, Psalm 16, Hebrews 10 31-39, and Mark 13:14-23.
Most of us, throughout our adult life times, have heard dire predictions of the coming of the end of the world. And, we have lived to see them move from blazing headlines to forgotten falsehoods. That said, the scriptures do make it clear that there will be a time when the world will undergo a major change, and life as we currently experience it will no longer exist.
In Sunday's readings we hear about the end of time as we know it, about the desecration of the Temple, about events that are frightening to many. These readings raise questions. How literally are we to take these predictions? When might they occur? Will I be alive? Will I suffer as a result of the coming of the end? What about the current prediction that the world will end on December 21, 2012?
On Sunday I will explore what these predictions might mean for the future, and more importantly, what they mean for us today. I'm praying you'll be with us for worship as we gather in the name of the only person to whom time itself bends the knee – Jesus our Lord.
See you Sunday,
Becki+
