"And so," concluded Kierkegaard, "will our age, I sometimes think, go down in fiery destruction to the applause of a crowded house of cheering spectators."

CLIMATE CHAOS

25“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Luke 21

French Foreign Minister: '500 Days to Avoid Climate Chaos'

7:29 AM, May 14, 2014 • By JERYL BIER

Secretary of State John Kerry welcomed French foreign minister Laurent Fabius to the State Department in Washington on Tuesday to discuss a range of issues, from Iran to Syria to climate change. Or, in the words of the foreign minister, "climate chaos." Kerry and Fabius made a joint appearance before their meeting, and the foreign minister warned that only 500 days remained to avoid "climate chaos"[emphasis added]:

500 Days is September 25th, 2015

Climate chaos is not a matter of ecology,

it is a matter of theology.

Preach

20Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope,

21the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. 22For we know that all creation has been groaning…

Romans 8

SOCIAL CHAOS

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Matthew 24

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Matthew 24

CHRISTIAN CHAOS

9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,

2Th 2:3

Enduring to the End

Mt 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Christian Calm- Heb. 10

35So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

37“For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. 38And my righteous ones will live by faith.But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.” 39But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.

Suffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement, and death will be part of your journey, but the Kingdom of God will conquer all these horrors. No evil can resist grace forever.
