I'm doing my part. If looking forward to it speeds it up, it should have already happened! Seriously, I don't think enough Christians have "looked forward to it". Bring it up in conversations, and watch the comments of, "Doomsayer, pessimist, no one knows the time, you should not dwell on that, I want to get married, I want to have children, I have things to do, My grandmother died saying that, the apostles thought it was going to happen in their day, you should preach love not that end of world doom and gloom, I don't like to think about it", etc. And these are comments by professing Christians! They are even worse by non-Christians. If people don't like to think about it, they certainly are not LONGING for it! I do think that as times get worse, we may see more longing from true believers. Perhaps even the thrill of our idol worship for sports and entertainment figures will pale in comparison to the prospect of getting Anthrax or Smallpox or being blown up in a building. It is sad to me that this is what it takes for people to long for Heaven. If they only knew what was waiting! I remain, SOROS
