Who cares what's coming?

What will happen in the future?

The more I contemplate this question, the less interested I am in the answer. We simply don't know. Some people have proven somewhat adept at prediction, but more often than not these predictions are completely wrong or have to be interpreted in hindsight to seem accurate. Where's the value in that? I've never seen much. More often than not it seems that the end result is people getting whipped into a frenzy over some potential horrible ending when no such fate comes to fruition. It's just a distraction from the Kingdom which is at hand... within reach... not in the future nor in the past.

I have come to somewhat of an epiphany on this subject and it boils down to a simple (I think) well-crafted sentence that came to me in a moment of clarity:
This is not the end of times
except that you wish to make it so.
What do you think?

Nice epiphany. Your certainly right. We listen to people and not God on this one. So many words...so wrong. We should always be ready, but, keep our eyes on our purpose under heaven.

This is not the end of times:
accept that you wish to make it so.
