Hello everyone welcome to follow him favorites. This is our last follow him favorites of the new

testament year. I'm here with John by the way welcome John. Thanks Hank. Can you believe we made it all the way to the end of the year?

Thank you to everyone who's been with us this year. We're in the last lesson which is the last part of the Book of Revelation.

Let me ask you this week's question.

It's, should I be afraid, John, of the end of the world?

Is that the purpose of the Book of revelation? So when I finish it, I am terrified.

What would you say to someone who says, I don't want to read the book of revelation, I don't want to hear about the end of the world it's just too scary.

The very fact that we have the book is telling us the Lord wants us to know hey this is what you can expect

and that right there takes away a lot of the fear because Because then you can look around and go,

oh yeah, this was all supposed to happen.

What's my job?

My job is to be where I'm supposed to be,

doing what I'm supposed to be doing what I'm supposed to be doing,

and I'll be okay.

I won't have to live life fearfully. We can live it faithfully instead.

But it's nice to know.

Yeah, it's nice to know. And I remember once I was teaching a class on the second coming

and this student up on the front row she just started to cry and I asked her

afterwards I said hey I'm so sorry did I offend you right because that usually happens and she said

no no it's not you I just really scared about the second coming. And I said,

oh, you know, why? And she said, I just don't want to live to see any of it. I hope I pass away and then all of this that we've been discussing happens long after I'm gone and I said oh I have news for you.

We're right in the middle of it. Right now we are right in the middle of all these signs happening.
