but cornish .... if you're convinced it's actually happening then why don't you chill and wait for armageddon .... you could get yourself a sky package ... a decent armchair ... and maybe a pipe ...and just relax ..
Because to survive it one has to be obedient to God and Christ, and part of that obedience is helping to spread the "good news of the kingdom" which as well as warning others of the approach of Armageddon, but telling them how they can avoid being on the wrong side of it when it arrives.
Christ set the message, and he also set the example not only in doing the work, but in teaching others to do so as well.
As Christ said as recorded at John 17:3. "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the Only True God, and of the one you sent forth". However if people are going to take that knowledge in there has to be someone to tell them, hence Paul said, as recorded at Romans 10:9-15 "For if you publicly declare that ‘word in your own mouth,’ that Jesus is Lord, and exercise faith in your heart that God raised him up from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration for salvation.
11 For the Scripture says: “None that rests his faith on him will be disappointed.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for there is the same Lord over all, who is rich to all those calling upon him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” 14 However, how will they call on him in whom they have not put faith? How, in turn, will they put faith in him of whom they have not heard? How, in turn, will they hear without someone to preach? 15 How, in turn, will they preach unless they have been sent forth? Just as it is written: “How comely are the feet of those who declare good news of good things."
In other words I want to be there, but I also want as many others as possible to share it with.
Oh, and I have a sky package, there is no other way of getting TV reliably here the terrestrial signal is too poor. I used to smoke a pipe as well as cigars and cigarettes, but I gave that up because I learned that God disapproved of it, and I am chilled, lol.
