Most Christians See the ‘End Times’ All Wrong. Here’s An Alternative Vision

Recently I was astounded when my partner, who was raised in a strict Christian sect, informed me of a worrisome trend among American Christians: Many fundamentalists and evangelicals want to bring on the ‘end times’ — thus hastening ‘<a href="https://medium.com/excommunications/better-watch-out-jesus-is-coming-to-town-by-dr-bruce-b9bfc36a485d" rel="noopener">the rapture</a>’ and the glorious return of Christ. They want our society to fail and fall apart. They want our world to be judged and destroyed. She and I are both horrified by this supposedly ‘devout’ longing. To us, it’s a stark, striking indicator of extreme self-centeredness and arrogance. Think about it: these folks want to hasten ‘the end of the world’ — the complete collapse of the world as we know it — so that they can be wafted up to Heaven, while all the ‘sinners’ and non-Christians are cast down into Hell. These folks believe in their own total ‘righteousness’ and are happy to condemn everyone else to eternal misery and damnation. <a href="https://medium.com/illumination/most-christians-get-the-end-times-all-wrong-here-s-an-alternative-vision-c541d6863c89">Visit Now</a>
