The End of the World 062212

If this December 21, 2012 is the end of the world, as Mayan calendars have predicted, will this affect only Mayans?

Not so, many think and predict that December 21, 2012 is the end of the world. If so, there’s not much we can do, is there, except to do what we’ve been doing as disciples of Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:1 says it well. If this ‘tent’ we call the world is destroyed, we have another building, not made by hands but by God, which is eternal. As we every day, we pray fro our daily bread here on earth, but we trust that eternal sustenance will come from God.

Pray for peace on earth, while the world lasts.

Psalm 130

Deuteronomy 1:34-40

2 Corinthians 5:1-5

 

Psalm 130

¹Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.

²Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!

³If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?

⁴But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.

⁵I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;

⁶my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.

⁷O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is great power to redeem.

⁸It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

Deuteronomy 1:34-40

³⁴When the Lord heard your words, he was wrathful and swore: ³⁵“Not one of these—not one of this evil generation—shall see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors, ³⁶except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him and to his descendants I will give the land on which he set foot, because of his complete fidelity to the Lord.” ³⁷Even with me the Lord was angry on your account, saying, “You also shall not enter there. ³⁸Joshua son of Nun, your assistant, shall enter there; encourage him, for he is the one who will secure Israel’s possession of it. ³⁹And as for your little ones, who you thought would become booty, your children, who today do not yet know right from wrong, they shall enter there; to them I will give it, and they shall take possession of it. ⁴⁰But as for you, journey back into the wilderness, in the direction of the Red Sea.”

2 Corinthians 5:1-5

5For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ²For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling— ³if indeed, when we have taken it off we will not be found naked. ⁴For while we are still in this tent, we groan under our burden, because we wish not to be unclothed but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. ⁵He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
