Question

Do you think that the world will end soon?
Do you people think that the world will end soon? because the bees are endangered, people are saying that this will be the last pope, birds have fallen down from the sky dead, and alot of fish are dying. The volcano and there have been many floods going on in the world... do you think that the world will soon end and were not allowed to know about it because everything would get crazy if we knew?

Answer

No.brbrquotBut of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.quot Mark brbrJesus told us in no uncertain terms that we were not to know when the end of the world would come but that we were always to be ready.brbrEach new Christian denomination seems to worry about the end of the world a bit too much. Then after a couple of centuries, they realize that there are always wars and rumors of wars, etc.brbrI wont even mention the hundreds of false predictions of the end of the world over the centuries, all of which were based on individual interpretations of biblical prophecies.brbrThe first century Christian Church thought that Jesus was going to return at any moment. Only after a couple of centuries did the Church realize that it may be , or , or , years before Jesus returns.brbrThe Catholic Church wisely follows Jesus advice and teaches that each of us should live as if we will meet our maker in the next ten minutes and that we need to work to make the world a better place for our X greatgrandchildren.brbrDo not worry about the end of the world. Trust God to make sure everything happens to plan. Just be ready to meet God at any time.brbrFor more information, about what Catholics believe about the end of the world, see httpwww.americancatholic.orgNewslettabrbrWith love in Christ.
