Just me trying to be honest with God.

It may be that the Day of Judgment will dawn tomorrow;

...in that case we will gladly stop working toward a better future. But not before. – Dietrich Bonhoeffer


“But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” Dan2.35 ESV

There is no shortage of books, charts and theories seeking to explain the meaning of King Nebuchadnezzar dream concerning the rise and fall of kingdoms that would come after Babylon. We remain a little fuzzy about the ten toes part of the dream. The truth is that we remain a little fuzzy about a great deal when it comes to latter day prophecy. One thing absolutely clear is that the eternal Kingdom of Christ is replacing the temporal kingdoms of this passing age. I say that it is replacing, because the transition has already begun. Every person who invites Christ into his or her heart expands His Kingdom. Where are we on the eschatological calendar? Well, we are at the part where Jesus has said, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
