Our discussion on Revelation and how it is apocryphal literature reminded me of the many people I know that think that there might be a chance that we are nearing THE END OF TIME. Yes, I know it sounds crazy, however the time is going to come sooner or later, all in God’s perfect timing. When I was younger, my mom would always talk to me about the Book of Revelation and how it talked about the end of time, and I just was never really interested in it. Recently, death has been something that I have just had to accept as part of life, and I think that flipped a switch, because now, I think about Judgement day a lot. There is a Christian song that I absolutely love and that will move you to tears. There was also a movie created about the making of the song. It is called “I can only imagine” sung by Mercy Me. In the movie, it explains how the son had to make amends with his father, because his father gave him a hard childhood. When the father gets sick and the son finds out, he has a change of heart, and therefore forgives his father. One of the most moving parts for me was when the father and son both come to terms and realize that the son was in the wrong for holding a grudge on all the mistakes the father had made, and how the father was wrong in how he treated their family. Anyways, the song talks about Judgement day and how we will react when we stand before God and have to say all that we did during our life. Every time that I listen to this song, it causes me to reflect, and through reading Revelation, I now know that this song is directly referring to Revelation 20:11-15.
