The Last Days

Chuck Missler:

The end of the world. It’s been a question in the heart of man for millennia. We all want to know how much longer we have - and what will happen at the end of days.

The threat of nuclear war menaced the world during the second half of the 20th century as the United States and the U.S.S.R. aimed warheads at each other. That threat hasn’t entirely disappeared: Iran works to develop its nuclear program with a stated desire to destroy Israel. “The whole world is festering with unhappy souls,” as the Kingston Trio sang to us in 1959, ending their song “The Merry Minuet” with “They’re rioting in Africa; There’s strife in Iran; What nature doesn’t do to us; Will be done by our fellow man.”1 Things certainly haven’t changed that much in the past six decades.

Despite the terror of human warfare, though, God Himself will be the One to end this world. Both the Old and New Testaments tell us that the LORD2 will roll it all up like a scroll. That will be a sight to watch, because it won’t just mean the end of our planet, but the end of the entire universe:

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

Isaiah 34:4

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Revelation 6:14

After this, the LORD will present us with the eternal and incorruptible new Heavens and Earth, where those whose sins have been forgiven will dwell with Him forever.

Revelation 7:17 tells us that we will no longer hunger and thirst, because the Lamb of God will lead us to water and feed us. The Lord will make sure we have all we need.

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation 7:16-17

…And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
