The End of the World Project

~~ Mark13:32 (NASB) ~~  But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.

You know those days when life seems mundane, like the same old pattern is a big rut you’ll never get out of.  You get up in the morning, go to work, come home, have dinner, play on the computer or watch TV.  Then tomorrow it starts all over again.  Well, for me, Friday was absolutely not one of those days!  Woo Hoo!  I got up, went to my volunteer job at my church like I do every week.  It was a busy day, but nothing out of the ordinary.  Then I came home, had dinner; and, here’s the fun part,... I was interviewed via Skype, for a movie called ‘The End of the World Project’. 

A friend of a friend works with NBC Universal.  They are making a movie about that big day in five weeks when many believe our planet will be drastically changed or end on December 21^st.  They’re looking to interview as many people as possible, and I was asked if I’d like to participate.  I figured “Sure, sounds like fun.  What’s the worst that can happen?  I could end up on the ‘cutting room floor.’” 

I spent over an hour chatting with a guy named Angel.  He took me through a range of emotions as I had to seriously think about “what if...?”  What if there is really something to this whole theory about our world not being our world anymore after next month? 

“Are You Scared?”

Out of the sixteen, or so, questions I was asked, that’s the one that cut to my core the most.  Facing your fear is never easy.  The possibilities are endless.  They range from:

• a major shift of the earth on its axis
• earthquakes like we’ve never known that can shift or break whole continents
• to World War III
• to chemical warfare by terrorists
• to alien invasions
• to colliding with a comet equal, or more, in size to earth
• and, no doubt, other things that we haven’t even thought of.  

How seriously have you considered the question of “What about a nuclear war? Do think that's a possibility?”  How about “Do you think there’s the possibility of a major pandemic?”  or “Do you think there will be mass suicides?”  What would the world be like on the flip side of a major disaster?

No One Knows

Scripture tells us that no one knows the day or time when the world will end.  We know we’re in end times, but we are also told it will come like when we least expect it (Mark13:31-36).  Just a thought... we’re expecting December 21^st (or at least many are).

God Will Take Care of You

As Christians we are children of the living God; heirs with Jesus.  So, how did I answer the question “Are you scared?”  I said “I have butterflies in my stomach, but I know no matter what happens; whether I survive or not, God will take care of me.”  I have faith in Him.  I know He loves me.  He’s promised to be with me, comfort me, and take care of me.  I have no reason to fear.  Psalm23:4 says “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”  Philippians4:19 promises “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

I’m looking forward to seeing this film, whether I end up in it or not.  But either way, I know God will take care of me.  He loves me.

Let’s Pray

 ~~ Dear God ~~  You are so loving that we cannot even comprehend it.  Only You know the day and time when this world will come to an end.  In all our vast human knowledge, the bottom line is that the amount we know compares to enough to fill a thimble, against your knowledge that can fill the universe.  Thank You for taking care of us, even in the pending doom that we have brought on ourselves.  Please help us to keep our focus on Jesus, so that we can walk through the dark valley with our heads held high and without fear knowing that You will take care of our every need in every situation.  In Jesus name, AMEN.
