End of the World

I've been thinking a lot about the end of the world coming. Do I believe it is approaching us? Yes. But even the disciples believed that, and it's been 2,000 years. Do I hope the end of the world is coming? Yes and no. Yes, I am not afraid to live eternity with my Lord and Savior. No, because I want to see the world be changed by Christ followers. Do I think Jesus will make His return on May 21st? Definitely not. Jesus said:

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. (Matthew 24:42-44)

Jesus went on to say that not even He knew the day and hour, only the Father in heaven. If the Savior of the world, didn't know, and didn't try to estimate, then who are we to assume we can label a day as judgement day? Placing signs on buses and benches? Who are we to believe we a smarter, more able to point out the day, that Jesus on His throne doesn't even know? We are but human, we do not know. Educated guesses don't know. Only God the Father does. When that glorious day comes, there will be no signs on buses or benches predicting it. There will be no protesters on the side of the road. Nobody will be marking their calenders and waiting anxiously. It will be unexpected, and the beauty of it will be unexplainable.
