End of Days

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know, it's the end of the world...

Well, here it is. We are currently about twenty days away from when the Mayan calendar ends, or as some say, when the world ends.

Ever since the dawn of time, we as a society have been entranced with the end of the world. It's been depicted in numerous books and films, and in many different ways. Earthquakes. Floods. Ice Age. Giant asteroid. The list goes on and on.

For all the hype that 2012 has drawn, can anyone tell me specifically whats going to happen on December 21st, 2012 that will bring about the end of the world? Are we going to get hit by an asteroid? Are we just going to all fall over dead? Are our faces going to melt like in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark?'

My sister brought up an interesting point today. A couple of years ago, everyone was sure the world was going to end on 12-21-12. Now, as you may notice, very few even talk about it anymore. It's just not a big deal anymore.

Now, you're probably thinking..."If the world is going to end, why are you spending your time typing a blog?" Good question, but let's look at this biblically. In Matthew 24, Verse 36, it is written, concerning the end of days:

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

In other words, NO ONE on this Earth knows when we're going to die. Only God.

I am no longer too concerned with the whole end of the world thing. If the world does end, there isn't too much any of us can do about it, but accept it.

Unless it's a zombie apocalypse. But thats another story for another day. :p

Until Next Time...:)
