The Hip Opinion

Well we all got problems don’t we? A quick surf of the net or a newscast on TV will abundantly confirm this.

I like to ponder stuff you know? I like to try and “figure it all out”. And wonder what a “Higher Power” should be doing about all this.  He is supposed to be all powerful right? Can’t He fix this world that we humans have totally screwed up?

Or is it up to us? Religious people tend to be just trying to hold on until they get to the great by and by. Right? I mean, I have heard it said. “This is not our home, our home is in heaven”

Jesus is coming, right? Could be today! But, what if it’s not for another 50 millennia? Hey, that’s a long time.  There’s gonna be a lot of generations of people that have to try and make due until they get to heaven. Meanwhile the world get’s worse.

Big Global Problems

• Hunger and malnutrition
• Climate Change
• Conflicts
• Financial instability
• Water and Sanitation
• Subsidies and Trade Barriers
• Population/migration
• Communicable diseases
• Education
• Governance and corruption

What a list.  those are real problems.  Who is gonna fix this mess?

I have heard Bible teachers say that this “fallen world is too far gone to be fixed. It will take a complete regeneration from God to fix this. ”

Maybe. But, perhaps talking about it would help to get ideas to give the Big Guy a hand in it. Most of us have children and grandchildren right? Each of us do our part?

I’m just a middle aged hipster. I probably got a few years before I go to the pearly gates.  Perhaps, there is SOMETHING I could do to make a difference here and now. You dig?

I was channel surfing the other night and came across “Law and Order” on the TV. They were investigating some murder involving people who ran a website that sends out Emails to loved ones that were left behind after the “secret”rapture.

The show made believers look like a bunch of hypocritical swindling idiots. Was I offended? Not really. Maybe because this prophecy stuff has been swimming in popular culture for decades… Now people are tending to take it with a grain of salt. People preaching “END TIMES” is getting old as the years roll by.

I discovered today that there are sites that actually do this post rapture emailing stuff. It only costs about $40 per year… I guess that’s a good investment for eternity… Hmmmm?

Is God going to “catch away” believers before the horrors described in the Bible take place? Nobody knows… It sure is fun to think about. But is it deceiving millions?

But SOMETHING BIG is gonna happen.. You dig?

²⁹“Immediately after the distress of those days
” ‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’^[a]

³⁰“At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. ³¹And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Mathew 24:29-31
