The End Days: Battle of The Anti-Christ

So this week in Bible 2 we read “Thessalonians 1” and “Thessalonians 2” which were Pauls’ two letters to the church of the Thessalonians. In these letters Paul talks about the end times and the coming of Jesus Christ. He specifically tells us some things in Thessalonians 2: Chapter 2 Verses 1-12. In these verse Paul tells us things like not to be unsettled by the end times, because no one knows the day or the hour it will happen, and to beware the lawless one (The Anti-Christ) who will lead others astray and proclaim himself to be God. Now Paul wrote this around 2,000 years ago, so what does it mean for Christians now? Everything. As the Bible has said we don’t know when the end times are exactly, they could not happen even in our grandchildren’s lifetime, but we should prepare for them as if they are happening now. So how do we prepare? Well first, don’t listen to anyone who has said they know when the world is ending. Remember when the world ended in 2012? Yeah, I don’t either. Yet thousands, maybe even millions thought the world was going to end, they even made a movie about it (Which we can use to trick our kids into thinking we survived 2012)! Second, prepare for the Anti-Christ. Whether you are one of the people who thinks the Anti-Christ is already here (like those who believe Obama was the Anti-Christ) 

or that he’s still on his way, we still need to prepare for what he’s going to do to this world. People are going to follow him, maybe even some people close to you. We have to prepare ourselves not to fall for his lies and wait for the day that Jesus comes back and rids the world of the Anti-Christ. Now, these are only two way to prepare, and there are many more. How will you prepare? 

Paul V Peter: Dawn of The Bible

So over the past week in class we have read the book of “Galatians” which is about Paul writing a letter to his church in Galatia, who had started to be taught a wrong way of being a Christian. In Chapter 2 of Galatians Paul mentions a fight he and Peter had, which was about how Peter would hang out with the Gentiles until another Non-Gentile was around and then he would leave. So why did Paul get mad at Peter? Well it’s pretty simple, Peter was afraid of what his followers would think of him. He didn’t want to be caught with Gentiles so his friends wouldn’t think he was weird or unclean or something else.  So Paul got mad at Peter telling him he was in the wrong, and that it shouldn’t matter who we preach to and we shouldn’t care what others think, much like if you see the weird kid in class sitting alone by himself. You might want to go sit with him, but your friends are watching, so you decide not to. So a lot of us are a lot like Peter in this case and we need someone like Paul to set us straight. So what could the church learn from all of this?  They shouldn’t worry about what everyone else thinks! Jesus obviously didn’t, and he changed the world! If we stopped caring about what other think and just started just doing it think about what could we do!!
