War in the East.... End of the End Times?
O I Want to See Him
Do we really believe God is coming soon? I'm curious. We are supposed to, right? I realized tonight how off my filter is for that. I see the headlines about war in the Middle East, subconsciously murmur "oh, that again" and keep moving. I'm being honest. Since that region has such a long history of violence, it doesn't affect me anymore.
When the Roll Is Called...
I'm not alone (it's just that much sadder since I'm an Apostolic who should realize the significance). As of 10:30 p.m. tonight, the escalation of war in the East is not the top story on any of my frequented news sites. I had to go to FOXNews for a cover story. I definitely wouldn't have even known it had I not spoken with my pastor's wife tonight. She and my pastor have grave concerns and understand the Biblical implications.
Won't We Have a Time?
Meanwhile I'm still trying to fathom it. I know I've touched on this before, but is a disconnection from the realization that the Lord is returning soon a generational deficit, a lack of spirituality personally, or a sign of our materialistic American culture and complacency with current life as we know it?

I think about this a lot . . . like the fact that prophecies have been/are being fulfilled and that we hear "Jesus is coming soon!" preached all the time, but still, this disconnect.
I know that God is coming, but when He does (and if I'm still around) I'm not going to be all chill, like, "Yep, God, You said You were." I have a feeling that I'll be shocked almost beyond belief, and I hope to God I'll be ready.
