"...at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart..."..."However when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?" Parable of the Judge, vv 1-8
Watching history on Nicodemous and the Mayans...with all this talk about 2012...I'm interested if what we are seeing is the end. If so, how many of us are truly saved? Is there a rapture? Are the 144,000 already alive and beginning to form? Is the anti-Christ alive in the world today and maybe in power? These questions have been asked many times over different times in history. But it is interesting to watch the world...the unrest in the mid-east - the eyes on Israel...the earthly disasters...the turning away from traditional religion and making up a new one: new-age, Scientology, and so many others.
At the time of Noah, there were only 8 people that God wanted to save. Eight! I hope modern day has done better than that! Definitely more time has passed than from creation to Noah; hope that works out for us.
A couple great quotes from this passage:
"Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." v. 16
"The things that are impossible with people are possible with God." v. 27
Jesus approaches a blind man and the man cries out for mercy. People were telling him to be quiet, "but he kept crying out all the more...Jesus said to him, 'receive your sight, your faith has made you well.'" v. 39-42 Reminded me of children...constantly asking until they receive what they are asking for or at least are acknowledged with an answer. Something to think about.
