Midnight
I am really not into foolishness, but sometimes the audacity of folks leaves me wanting to make a point. I have read some of the garbage this particular organization spews, but I think this particular move is really dumb.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the doomsday clock closer to midnight on Thursday morning, warning the world that it is as close to catastrophe in 2018 as it has ever been. “In 2017, we find the danger to be even greater, the need for action more urgent,” the scientists wrote last year. “It is two and a half minutes to midnight, the Clock is ticking, global danger looms. Wise public officials should act immediately, guiding humanity away from the brink. If they do not, wise citizens must step forward and lead the way.” (TIME)
I am not sure how “wise” I am, but let me lead you along “the Way” with a little dose of absolute Truth. The World is not in danger of being destroyed because of nuclear weapons, climate change, or Donald Trump (the Atomic Scientist’s three favorite flavors for 2018).
The are only two (2) “brinks” out there about which you should worry. First, your body will die at some point and you will stand before the Infinite God of creation who will judge you based on your relationship to His Son, Jesus Christ. Finding Redemption prior to that “brink” is mandatory if you plan to live eternally in the presence of God, in His home called Heaven. (see John 3:16)
Second, if you do not physically die before the “end of the age” (the date when God chooses to destroy this World and create a new one for those who are His children), you will be part of that great awakening when God ends what He spoke into existence to supplant it with a new Heaven and a new Earth that will be inhabited with all of Redeemed mankind throughout history. (see Revelation 21:1-8)
There are the midnights every living person faces. There is eternal doom (death) no doubt for those who ignore the Truth, but you have a pathway of escape. Only God controls that midnight clock.
If you don’t know Him, find out about Him now. He is ready to Redeem you!
