Another reason I don't fall for this type of doom and gloom is because ever since I was a kid and could read I've seen in the headlines of the gossip rags in the checkout lines in grocery store :
World coming to an End, or some such.
When I was young it would scare the beejeebies out of me. My mother, who was longing for the end of the world, provided little comfort.
But the predictions never came true. Now when I spot one of these headlines in the checkout line it's a joke to me. It makes me laugh.
But I love to laugh ... So thanks Jonathan Cahn, you ol' doomer and gloomer.
Personally I think a good old fashion fire and brimstone sermon, like the ones we had when I was growing up in the Southern Baptist Church, takes the cake. (Think of another Jonathan, as in Jonathan Edwards, and his famous
"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.")
