Fools Paradise

Here we are approaching another prediction of the end. An individual has 'heard from God', spent a million dollars, and is thoroughly convinced of his date work. I am puzzled by this in light of Christ's own words that no man knows the hour or day (Mt. 24:36). Maybe I am reading that wrong, but the guy in 1988 who then changed it to 1989 missed it too. The guy in 1000 AD that set a day missed it. Watch and pray Jesus said. We would rather get lathered up about a date than to watch and pray. Watching and praying are no fun, receive no media attention, and are easily replaced by watching TV and playing. Jesus is coming again-be hope filled as you live in the midst of the chaos. Know that it is well with your soul because the King of kings lives in you. We don't need to live in a fools paradise of guessing games and probability. We can live with faith's assurance that God will keep one more promise and the trumpet will sound and Christ will come and establish the new heaven and new earth, the home of righteousness. Whenever God fufills that promise I am fine. It's His ballgame, I'm just glad to be on the team.
