The Pope is claiming the
date of Jesus's birth is based on the misconception of a 6th C. monk. Pat
Robertson says an Irish Archbishop from the 1600s steered the Church wrong
about the date of Creation. Democrats AND Republicans all agree that America is
just a month away from hurtling off a 'Fiscal Cliff'. C'mon! Right Wingers, Left Wingers, a Protestant media icon, THE POPE?!!! Has everyone forgotten the Mayans have decreed THERE ARE ONLY 22 DAYS until the Great Celestial Odometer resets?! Or do we have a smoke screen of disinformation going because they all know something is about to happen??!! I think I'll move to rural Ohio and bunker down in an old corn silo....
For those of you unfamiliar with my twisted sense of humor, relax! My view on dire "predictions" can be summed up with Jesus's parable in Luke 19:11-13
....[Jesus] went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
Jesus gave this story with a message--or parable--the morning of His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, just days before His crucifixion. The story parallels what was about to happen to Jesus and what He had been teaching His disciples about His imminent departure from them, a fact they had yet to grasp.
The crux of the story is the King's command to His servants, which can be paraphrased as, "Continue with your assigned duties until I return."
I believe we who follow Jesus will do best to "carry on" without being distracted by the doubts from the Fanatical Left or the predictions from the Fanatical Right. When it DOES happen, no one will miss seeing His return!
