Hello Friends,
There is a show on the History Channel called The Doomsday Prophets. Have you watched
it? In this show, cameras follow various
people through their strategies for preparing for the end of the world, or a calamity
close to it. These individuals believe
the end of the world is at hand and they are prepared for it, with weapons
caches and food stockpiles, escape routes and multi-step strategies for survival.
It’s a bizarre show that has little to do with history, and many Americans are
tuned in.
The show Doomsday Prophets
reminds me of a favorite song I listened to in college…by 90’s rock group REM. They sing a song, It’s the End of the World
as We Know It and the chorus ends with the line “and I feel fine.” Most of
the stars of this show are far from fine.
They are paranoid.
Christmas is coming.
Jesus in a barn, an unsuspecting, kingdom changer. Son of God and Son of Man. He is the one the Prophets spoke of. He was there in the beginning and he will be there when
it all comes down. No need for escape
routes and weapons caches for those who put their trust in him.
We celebrate Christmas because this world belongs to Jesus,
all of it. From REM to the Doomsday
Prophets. In the beginning and in the
end, it all belongs to Jesus. He came
into our world to give us peace, to give us hope to give us joy and love. And because of it I do feel fine.
