How will it end?

 For 19 years I've been sharing the Gospel texts describing the road map that Jesus laid out for us, to know and through what and whom we, are to follow on our spiritual journey and our place in it. Jesus knew for many generations, questions would be asked, doubt led by Satan to be a hindrance. Many questions would be asked, of how, why, when, that's why He left a road map, called the "Bible." to satisfy our doubts and to strengthen our faith until He comes.
  Well now he has come to tell us how it ends, and our end too. " In my Fathers house are many rooms,if it was not so, I would have told you, and I go to prepare one for you, and when you are ready, I will come and take you there. (Promise of John 14).
 Their is strong agreement, that God has acted in history in past events will  also to act in history to consummate  this age, and bring Christ's return.
  Every since the first days of the Christian Church,the faithful have been looking for the blessed hope, for the glorious appearing of our great God and our Savior Jesus Christ.
 The faithful have disagreed as to its timing and to he events of the "eschatological calendar,"  (end times). However they have all agreed that the final solutions to the problems of this world can only be solved by the "King Of Kings",  who will make this world His own. So when we ask: "How will it end?" we do not pass out of the realm of history, we merely pass to that which has not yet occurred but which is never-the-less certain occurring for the simple reason that God is behind it and is himself the one who tells us it will.
 The return of Jesus Christ is mention in every one of the New testament books except Galatians ( which was written for a particular problem in view). And the very short books such as 2 and 3 John
and Philemon. Jesus spoke of a return quite often. Mark records him saying. Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the "Son of Man" also be ashamed,
 when He comes in the glory with the heavenly angels (Mk 8:38). 'Then they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then He will send out His angels from the four winds, to gather His elect from the earth to the end of heaven (Mk. 13: 26-27). John tells us as we seen earlier, that Christ's last words to his disciples included a promise (Jn. 14:3).
 In the last chapter of John the author records a statement of Jesus to Peter in which a reference to His return is,nevertheless all the more impressive on that account. Jesus had been encouraging Peter to faithfulness in discipleship, but Peter with his impetuousness had turned and seen the beloved disciple. He asked," Lord what about this man?" (Jn. 21:21). Jesus replied, " If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me! v. 22). John pointed out that although many Christians of his day had interpreted this to mean that John will not die until Christ came back, that was not what Jesus had said, this should not affect Peter's call to faithful service. Peter called the return of Jesus Christ our "living hope.." (1 Peter 1:3). Paul called it Our Blessed Hope. (Tit.2:13).
 Behold He is coming in the clouds., and every eye will see him, everyone who pierced. He ended the revelation with, he who testifies to these things says: " Surely I am coming soon, Come Lord Jesus
( Rev 22:20).  Most of what has been said up to this point has been encouraging, particularly for Christians, but their is a sober side, too. We as Christians acknowledge this truth every time we recite the Apostle Creed.  We say Jesus will come again from Heaven " to judge the living
 and the dead." The Victorian Poet Robert Browning wrote, "God's is in his Heaven; all's right with the world." The Apostle Paul told the Athenians that God had fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness, by a man he has appointed, (Acts 17: 31). Jesus concluded: "WATCH " therefore, for you know not the day, or hour. (Mt. 25:13). Wisdom is knowing Jesus Christ and him crucified." ( 1 Cor. 2:2). Amen!
