Being raised in a Bible believing Baptist family, no doubt what was taught to me at home, at church and Sunday School was the Bible, and also the parts of the Bible related to prophecy. When one thinks of prophecy, you can think of that which has been fullfilled or that which is yet to come, the future.

Growing up, we were taught not to worry on these things, that we should be focused on loving our Creator and Savior, obedience to his word, and telling others about Him. Basically, the end times WOULD come and to BE READY by living righteously NOW.

Made sense to me then and it makes sense to me now.

However there is in the news today, an article about groups trying to hurry these ‘end times’ along. (as if they could!).

I find this a bit of folly as even Jesus said he didn’t know the hour of his coming.

Mark 13:32 (KJV) — But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Pastors are actually having meetings with strategies as to how they can hurry this along, according to the article. This isn’t limited to Christianity either, this is also a mindset in some of the Jewish and Muslim communities as well.

Even a rancher is getting into the act trying to raise red heifers which many see as a sign to start rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem.

So, is man creating technology and red heifers to hurry the end of the world as we know it, or does God allow technology and use it for his PLAN?
