The End Times Are Interesting

“May you live in interesting times.”
–Well-known saying claimed to be a traditional Chinese curse

It matters not how many well-known people–including Robert F. Kennedy in a 1966 speech–repeat something, that something might not be true.

And so it is with the traditional faux-Chinese curse of “May you live in interesting times.”

NOW, this certainly sounds like it might have been said by one wise Chinese to another, but research indicates that most Chinese have never heard this phrase.

While purporting to be a blessing, this is in fact a curse. The expression is always used ironically, with the clear implication that ‘uninteresting times’, of peace and tranquillity, are more life-enhancing than interesting ones.
—The meaning and origin of the expression: May you live in interesting times

But whether the saying is ACTUALLY a ‘traditional Chinese curse’ or not–and there is strong evidence to indicate it is NOT–one has to admit: the times in which we now live (the end times) are certainly INTERESTING.

The newspapers and newscasts daily scream “People Dying! Stay Home!” as a disease supposedly stalks the land. This has turned many into fearfully-obsessive hand-washers, with governments restricting the movements of healthy citizens, claiming it is “To keep people safe!”
Many people fear that an uprising of some sort will occur in order to “let the government know it can’t push us around.”
Countries seem to be gradually drifting toward war.
The press speculates daily that the sitting US president will NOT leave the White House peacefully when his term is up and the new president is ready to take office.
Economies are said to be in danger of crashing–particularly the economy of the United States.
Every week brings NEW stories of asteroids, various space junk and other flotsam and jetsam of outer space hitting the earth with catastrophic consequences.

Interesting, huh?

But NO MATTER how interesting things may appear to be NOW, when the last days roll around, things will get interesting indeed.

IF the reader enjoys worldwide chaos, death and destruction on a HISTORIC scale, he is in luck.

Because the last days have ALL of that–and more!

First, there will be war across the WHOLE EARTH.

“And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”
–Revelation 6:4

War is always interesting.

According to God’s Word, the return of Jesus Christ will herald the removal of sinners–which is practically ALL who dwell upon the earth–throughout the WHOLE WORLD.

“As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
–Matthew 13:40-42

Interesting!

Also according to God’s Word, there will be judgments from God smiting the earth and its inhabitants.

“And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

” And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.”
–Revelation 16:1-12

Doubleplus interesting!

Now, a great many will claim–especially in the times in which we live–that they do NOT believe the Bible (God’s Word).

It makes no difference what they believe: when judgment hits them between the eyes, it will hurt whether they believe it is a judgment from God or not.

Man will rely on himself and Satan until the bitter end.

All which is to say: the end times are CERTAINLY interesting.

It is also interesting that though end times man comes under the obviously-painful judgments of God, instead of changing direction (repenting), end times man instead curses God!

Perhaps end times man will tell Him they hope He lives in interesting times?

DOES the reader notice that the times NOW are very interesting?

DOES the reader believe that things will “settle down” and “get back to normal” OR does the reader believe future events will be even MORE interesting than the ones of today?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

DOES the reader believe he is saved?

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
