to preach the gospel of hope, love, and peace

to America and the nations of the world.

And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

Matthew 28:20

The common proverb Everything comes to an end assumes that what has a beginning must logically have a conclusion. From the earliest recorded time, man has intuitively believed that the world will end. The Assyrians foretold the end of the world in 2800 BCE. French physician Nostradamus predicted a coming doomsday in his book Prophecies published in 1555. The belief that the world would be destroyed by flood or fire has been found among the writings of the ancient Persians, the natives of the Pacific islands, and past Nordic cultures. Even the Hopi Indians of the Americas prophesied that ashes would fall from the sky at the worlds death.

Modern man is not immune from speculating about the end of the world. Movies like Independence Day, Outbreak, Deep Impact, and War of the Worlds entertain us with rollercoaster thrills and impressive computer graphics, all the while forcing us to think of the end of days. I ask youIf you knew sudden destruction would fall upon the earth in the next twenty-four hours, how would you spend your last moments?

The characters in Independence Day fought fire with firethey blasted the threatening aliens out of the sky. The lethal virus in Outbreak was countered with a vaccine, and the people threatened by the asteroid in Deep Impact succeeded in shattering the huge stone with a nuclear device. Sure, people diedbut the world was saved. In the 2005 remake of the classic 1953 War of the Worlds, Martians succumb to Earths bacteria for which humans have built an immunity.

What else would you expect from Hollywood? Lots of drama, piles of dead bodies, but ultimate victory in the end. In the movies, mankind always wins. But what happens when the entertainment ends? When the rise of weapon-grade plutonium disappears into the world community without a trace? When known enemy-nations begin to test nuclear weapons? When the war with radical Islam expands into global battlegrounds? When China, Russia, and Iran begin to flex their economic and nuclear power? When the COVID-19 pandemic gives rise to worldwide speculation of continued biological warfare?
