the end of time

A friend told me about a large church in Kansas City where the sermon last Sunday was about the mark of the beast, the end of time and Covid.  Somehow Covid is so bad that some Christians feel that this must be the end.

I shudder.  I cannot believe what some people are teaching out there.  In the name of God!

First of all, the Book of Revelation is not about today or tomorrow, it is about the time in which it was written.  It is about the Romans and what they did to the early Christians.

Secondly, this is not the end of time just because we have a pandemic.  People get scared and make it about them. All heartfelt sympathies to those whose loved ones have passed from COVID. Please remember that the bubonic plague killed 30-50% of the entire medieval population.

We are wasting our time when we talk of Revelation and the end of time.
Religion should never be about scaring people.
Religion should not turn people's minds toward speculative thinking about the end of time.

True religion, real spirituality is about loving God and loving others.    There are people out there that are waiting for our love and care.  Let's go do it.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
