HUMANS AND THE FAST APPROACHING APOCALYPSE
Most people have now finally been able to reconcile themselves to the reality of the fast approaching apocalypse. This is not surprising considering the way things are going. Rational humans have concluded that it is not a question of how but when. Everyone seems to be in agreement that the human story will end in tears. What with the stockpile of weapons of destruction which are easily capable of annihilating the human race several times over.
The apocalypse is the final destruction of all things. As with every issue, the wondrous book has a few things to say concerning this forthcoming disaster. Isaiah 24 verse1 and verses 17 to 23 state, 'Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste, Distorts its surface And scatters abroad its inhabitants. Fear and the pit and the snare Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall be That he who flees from the noise of the fear Shall fall into the pit, And he comes up from the midst of the pit Shall be caught in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, And the foundations of the earth are shaken. The earth is violently broken, The earth is split open, The earth is shaken exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again. It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the earth the kings of the earth.' 2 Peter 3 verse 10 also states, 'But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.'
What I do find interesting is the way people seem to be preparing for this end of all things. For instance, the rich are spending vast sums of money to build or buy luxury underground bunkers around the world. They hope that when the present civilisation collapses, they can simply escape to the safety and comfort of their bunkers. NASA has come up with plans to make Mars habitable for humans so that, I suppose, when things finally become uncontrollable on earth, those who can afford it can then be airlifted from the earth to go and live on Mars.
