No World Cup, No World

While LHG was watching World Cup, others were busily plotting the end of the world. The Los Angeles Times reports on various Jewish, Christian and Muslims groups actively working for the endtime. It's heartening to know that the three most important Western religious traditions are finding a common cause.

A reminder: Jesus was most likely an apocalyptic prophet who believed the world would end in his lifetime, thus the urgency of his ethics. Paul also thought the world would end while he was still around. Check out 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 -

16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18Therefore encourage each other with these words.

LHG is hoping for at least one more World Cup before the end.
