The topic arose after a few observations about the ‘end of the world’ were voiced.
THEN, a few points NOT previously considered were added to the mix. The most surprising one was the one where the man who practiced the Eastern religion AGREED that the return of Jesus would usher in a completely new way of doing things.
1- One of the observations which led to the entire subject being explored was one which this corner has repeated more than once: The return of Jesus Christ is NOT the ‘end of the world.’ It IS the end of life as the wicked has come to know it, but’s that’s a different account.
2- This point was (SURPRISINGLY!) agreed to by a man who was a member of an Eastern religion.
3- The man agreed because he equated the return of Jesus and the overthrow of the wicked systems which have controlled this world for thousands of years with the doing away with the ‘material world‘ and the triumph of things spiritual.
4- A LONG discussion on the material world was avoided by just agreeing that there were things in the material world which were NOT good things.
5- So many have been taught from an early age that the return of Jesus IS the ‘end of the world.’ This is the world teaching folks, though.
6- A few minutes were spent mulling over the idea that not all folks practice a religion which features a CLIMAX (that is–as in Christianity–the return of Jesus Christ to earth and the judgement of the wicked).
These folks will likely listen to WHOEVER tells them an interesting story about the strange and unusual happenings which are taking place around them.
7- God’s Word informs the reader that the WHOLE WORLD will worship Satan and his beasts.
“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13;4,8
Many do NOT believe this last point, particularly those who frequently gather at the buildings called “THE CHURCHES.” Those who do NOT believe, think they escape any questioning of whether they believe the Bible or not by pretending the scripture confuses them.
Is the reader READY for what will be the ULTIMATE TEST of his life?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

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
