Look! Up in the sky, is that the Savior?!

I'm 95% certain that no-one reads this blog. But alas, I persist.

A thought struck me today I was going through my Google Reader. I subscribe to a blog called Paleofuture. It is a compilation of bygone eras and their respective perspectives on the future. I read this nearly daily. Mainly because it shows me how deluded we are as a species. The things we believe. Yet, in light of this, being a human myself, gives me pause to where we are going in our modern world.

In today's post, a tiny town in Michigan called Escanaba printed an article in 1980 about The Second Coming of Christ. They utilized the opinion of the Rev. Billy Graham from a 1950s excerpt. I won't belabor you with the details; you can read it yourself, but there was something in it that struck my attention.

The Rev. Graham states an idiom in Christianity (paraphrased from Matthew 24:6-7) that goes like this "There will be wars and rumors of wars. Keep your head about you." Basically; Don't Panic. He also states that the "return of the Jews to their homeland" will be a tell-all sign.

All that to say this:

"Why do we limit God?"

Is it our responsibility to worry about peace in Israel? The Israelis and the Palestinans obviously care. And we care because it serves our personal agenda at world domination. Yet, the "End Times" as its so weakly called (and defined) may never occur. Jesus promises to return. We have that as a promise.

Shouldn't that be all we need?
