“I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.”
 
I do not fear it, but know that much work needs to be done before that day. The problem is that what leads up to it ill be the most horrific, terrible specter the earth has ever seen. Jesus said that if those days had not been shortened, no one would survive!

We also know that many, many persons will be shocked and terrified to learn that they were not actually serving the Lord, but rather, themselves.
 
I can wait. I want to wait as long as possible, in fact, so that I can grow in perfection before the end of my life.

I will be happy whatever God’s will is, however that being said, I’d like to live a long, sane life (till at least 99 years old) full of physical sufferings which God can use for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, the Salvation of Sinners and in Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

However, I will say I certainly fear judgement day, for on that terrible day there will be no more mercy, no more time for sinners and those not covered by God’s Divine Mercy already will suffer most terribly, for eternity. Yes, I fear that day just as much as I hope for that day, because if I am still alive on that day it will be the completion of my life on earth and the beginning of my time in the beautific vision.

Why would you ask, since you purport not to believe in such a thing as a “Judgement” by a Supernatural Power?
You will find that posters here heed the words of the Prophets in their anticipation of the dreaded day:

Trouble for those who are waiting so longingly for the day of YHWH!
What will this day of YHWH mean for you?
It will mean darkness, not light,
as when a man escapes a lion’s mouth,
only to meet a bear;
he enters his house and puts is hand on the wall,
only for a snake to bite him.
Wii not the day of YHWH be darkness, not light?
It will all be gloom, without a single ray of light.
Amos 5:18-20
 
I’m not dreading it, but I’m not counting the minutes, either. It will be sad to see atheists get the proof they’ve demanded for so long.:cool:
 
In geologic - to say nothing of universal - time, Christianity has existed for the slightest millisecond. It would seem strange to me for God to have prepared the Earth over 4 billion years as a temporary home for his people, only to close it all down so soon. In no rush.

I don’t really see why that would be “strange”. Since length of time is like nothing to God, what is strange about God choosing to prepare the universe for us for billions of years before bringing us to it? Isn’t that just a testament to His greatness?
 
Whatever will be will be…I am ready to move on at God’s will.

If the fire of YHWH’s judgment turns out to be the fire of global nuclear war, then the Atheists will look upon that as a natural occurrence and will not see it as any kind of “proof.”
We have been warned that Judgment Day is going to sneak up on us “like a thief in the night,” so it’s possible that some religious minded people won’t see it coming either.

Atheists like to say that there is no proof of our Creator’s existence. Well, there is no proof to the contrary, either.
Which reminds me of a Woody Allen quote: “There is no way to prove that God does not exist, you just have to take it on faith.”
Point being that, either way, it is a personal choice. Atheists like to tell themselves that theirs is the more rational one, since the idea of a conscious Creator of the vast universe seems absurd to them.
But is it really more rational? If the atheists are right, and there is no consciousness after the corporal body dies, then what have they gained? The ability to look back at their human life and say, “You religious were all so foolish?” Of course not.
But if they are wrong, then they may have put their eternal souls at risk.
So, given the fact that everyone must die, Atheism is not the truly rational choice.

At death, everyone will know that God exists. What’s that nonsense about nuclear war?
 
I accused ANV in another post of Trolling, I am thinking he just has a unique way on thinking! Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt on this.

A question for ANV: given death is judgement day, what are your thoughts if you find out there is more than darkness?
 
I don’t know, I think it is a simple enough question.

We should hope for longer for the sake of others and ourselves (when does it help being complacent?).

Thank you for asking. Our Creator’s judgment of mankind is to be a judgment by fire:

**For see how YHWH comes in fire,
His chariots like the tempest,
to assuage His anger with burning,
His threats with brilliant fire.

For by fire will YHWH execute judgment,
and by His sword against all mankind.
The victims of YHWH will be many.**–Isaiah 66:15-16

Now in Genesis 8:21 God said: "Never again will I curse the earth because of man, because his heart contrives evil from his infancy. Never again will I strike down every living thing as I have done."

Therefore the “fire” that the Prophet speaks of cannot be a fire from heaven. So it must come from man. And that idea is supported by the Psalmist:
The nations have sunk into a pit of their own making,
they are caught by the feet in the snare they set themselves.
YHWH has made Himself known, has given judgment,
He has trapped the wicked in the work of their own hands."
Psalm 9:15-16

Sir, I would ask you to consider Jeremiah 25:32-33 which might also be a description of global nuclear war:
See! The disaster spreads
from nation to nation,
a mighty tempest rises
from the far ends of the world.
Those slaughtered by YHWH that day will be scattered across the world from end to end.
No dirge will be raised for them; no one will gather them or bury them; they will stay lying on the ground like dung.

Considering the state of world affairs today and the direction that they seem to be going, the possibility that global nuclear war will happen sometime in the first half of the 21st century is very real.
That disaster could be our Creator’s judgment of mankind, sneaking up on us and catching us unawares.
