So what will you do when the end comes? It’s a really good
question.
Relax, this is not another regular instalment in my frequent
“end of the world looms imminent” meme. I’m not thinking about the end of our
current world order, or about the end of the Church Age, or even about the end
of our own natural lives.
The quote comes from Jeremiah, actually, and “the end” has
to do with the time that God’s judgment falls. That’s not God’s eternal
judgment concerning where your or I will spend eternity, and it’s not God’s future judgment of the world and its nations. It’s the
point in life, individually or corporately, in which things get so bad and so
damaging and so pointless and selfish that God simply cannot fail to step in
and demonstrate the folly of our ways in a very tangible, painful way during this life.
