Grace
and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
This
era has known no lack of doomsday predictions.
Many
of you will remember Hal Lindsey’s best-selling The Late Great Planet Earth,
and
the billboards proclaiming the end of the world in May 2011,
or
those who believed that since the calendar of the ancient Mayans
ended
at the winter solstice of 2012,
there
would be no more days after that.
But
doomsday predictions are not confined to today,
and
they are not just the province of the uneducated.
