Interesting you should ask. I have a very vivid memory of this same topic.
While still in the Protestant arena (Assembly of God), I attended a Bible study on the end times. Person after person started saying how much they were looking forward to it, people even started saying they were praying for Christ’s return to happen.
As I sat there, I started to get more and more angry and more and more hurt. Tears started rolling down my face, I quietly wiped them away, again and again.
Finally, I rose and spoke. I was shaking with anger and tears were coming in droves. I said "If you truly believe these things are going to happen (end times) you need to stop praying for His swift return and start praying for your mother, brother, children and neighbor. "
The pastor pointed at me and said, this is a work of the Holy Spirit. Let’s all pray right now.
I say, Pray for those here on earth.
God Bless,
Maria
