Today was supposed to be Judgement Day.
Many discussed this verse from Matthew 24
36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Didn't hear much of this verse, earlier in the chapter.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
People have often thought the end was near because they thought they had reached the world with the gospel. But the world was bigger than they thought it was.
Now, early in the 21st century, we have TV, internet and email. McDonald's and Coke have spread to every corner of the known world. Has the gospel met the standard of being preached in the whole world?
Obviously not.
There's still preaching to do.
There's always wars and rumors of wars. There's always signs of destruction that could be the birth pangs of the end.
It's right to say that we don't know the day or hour. But we know Jesus and what He means to the world.
It's time to keep spreading the Word.
