Sorry I didn't tell you yesterday....


"End of the world due in nine days!"
-The Sun (online)


"SCIENTISTS are trying to stop the most powerful experiment ever – saying the black holes it will create could destroy the world.
Dubbed by some the Doomsday test, it will be carried out next week in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located 300ft underground near the French-Swiss border.
The machine is 17 miles long and cost £4.4billion to create.
When its switch is pulled on September 10, this atom-smasher will become a virtual time machine, revealing what happened when the universe came into existence 14 billion years ago.
New particles of matter are expected to be discovered, new dimensions found beyond the four known, as scientists re-create conditions in the first BILLIONTHS of a second after the Big Bang."

Ooopps....I forgot to tell you, sorry. Now there's only 8 days left! Time to get your will in order....wait, never mind....there won't be anyone here to inherit your stuff. Wow, the end of the world. Imagine that....what a fanciful idea that men think they can bring this all to an end. It's funny, and most unlikely. God has reserved that job for himself and clearly tells us that it is indeed coming, but he will do it. No one will know the day when it comes. Here are the apostle Peter's words on the topic,
....................
2Pe 3:9 God isn't late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn't want anyone lost. He's giving everyone space and time to change.
2Pe 3:10 But when the Day of God's Judgment does come, it will be unannounced, like a thief. The sky will collapse with a thunderous bang, everything disintegrating in a huge conflagration, earth and all its works exposed to the scrutiny of Judgment.
2Pe 3:11 Since everything here today might well be gone tomorrow, do you see how essential it is to live a holy life?
2Pe 3:12 Daily expect the Day of God, eager for its arrival. The galaxies will burn up and the elements melt down that day--
2Pe 3:13 but we'll hardly notice. We'll be looking the other way, ready for the promised new heavens and the promised new earth, all landscaped with righteousness.
2Pe 3:14 So, my dear friends, since this is what you have to look forward to, do your very best to be found living at your best, in purity and peace.
2Pe 3:15 Interpret our Master's patient restraint for what it is: salvation.
................
Our job, until that day arrives, is to live for God and know that his patience is intended to give more time for others to trust him. The end of the world seems like a terrible thing to us, but it's the beginning of eternity....the beginning of a universe devoid of sin. A new creation where God is fully in charge. It will be wonderful and amazing. I can't wait, but God is waiting...waiting for others to trust him, for that one more. Who will be the last one? When will be the last day? Only God knows.
