The Future Of The World- Optimistic Or Not?

The Bible foretold all the events you mention and more for what it calls the "last days." Luke 21:10-11 (New International Version)"Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven." Luke 21:31-32 (New International Version)"Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. "I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. I'm convinced that we are living at this time period. What do you think?

At the moment the Globalists are having a field-day,with their deceptions,false flags,stealing the wealth of the Common man,the weak and the old, using the stock,currency and commodity markets.The world is burning,the latest being the French strikes and the proposed one by the Unions in the UK.Wars are on in many places.But, the opposition to the Globalists is on the rise,in the USA too. I am optimistic that these evil forces will be defeated and the Common man will have a prosperous life.

Hi, jujunme, good to see you in myLot.. For having a meaningful life these days, in spite of what happens in the world, we need to understand why there is wickedness and what God´s plan is for the mankind. He has not planned to let the evil things continue forever. He has explained in His Word why he has permitted the evil for a limited time and also how we should know when the end of it is near. I found a great article about this subject http://www.watchtower.org/e/20070915/article_02.htm You can see what the Bible says about this and I suggest you look at the scriptures in your own Bible or compare different translations in biblegateway.com Learning about these things since I was a child has helped me to be optimistic about what will happen in the future. I try to tell about these things to others so that they can also feel confident that we have something better to look forward to. Here is a poem I wrote about this: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2357560.aspx Wish you a great day!!

One of the things my father use to stress was that there was no reason to worry. God has promised He'd always take care of us and He always has.

for me even if it seems like everything is falling apart i still remain optimistic because it does affect everything and it can be seen in my actions and thoughts. if ever i become pessimistic the condition may become worse.

Well, i think we should prepare for the life on Mars. Beside it, be calm to live happily on the Earth at least one billion years. of course, not forget to save the Earth from pollution. Keep the Earth green.
