Jordan - Matthew 24


Not exactly the best chapter to wake up to.  Last night, around 3:15am, most of us were sleeping (including me!).  But there were a lot of star-gazers out as well watching a  total lunar eclipse to march in winter.  At climax, the moon turns to a copper color, some would call it a blood red color.  Many ancient lunar eclipses have been mistaken for signs of the Second Coming and when I googled for examples, I found a reference to a  new prediction of the Second Coming in 2015  with the mark of a lunar eclipse. 

Despite Jesus's best efforts to persuade his followers to focus on being vigilent, there will always be a number of people who want o predict.  So that they can quickly get their act together at the last minute!

  1. It's always easier to distract ourselves from the truly important issues that make up living a quality life. In general the media especially social media is nothing more than the equivalent of coloring for adults. This may be a sharp statement but in a world of "breaking news" and tmz, society has an agenda that lacks much of what is worthy of the time it is given.
