Christ's Return and the End of the World

The devastation of the earthquake and tsunami in Asia have given us a tiny insight into what the world will be like at the end of the age.

Once again the eyes of the world have been drawn to one event—so big that it has touched us as a planet with a glimpse of the end of the world.

Even secular writers and news reporters have used words such as “apocalyptic” and of ‘biblical proportions” as they tried to describe the devastation and death they were witnessing. Some have even began to talk about what if there was a catastrophe so big, so deadly that it could wipe out life on our planet--an asteroid, a comet, a complete climactic shift away from a life sustaining world. In other words—people are briefly thinking and talking about—the End of the World.

The world ended for at least one hundred and fifty thousand people the Sunday after Christmas. We should think about that event before it gets crowded out of our minds by the next event.

The only difference between South East Asia's disaster and the description God gives is—the Tribulation will have at least 20,000 times as many deaths.
