End of the world

Today's lunch topic was " do you believe in the end of the world?"

** Story Begins**

Colleague A: You know what? My friend is in bangkok now and is cursing all the way coz it is 16 degree celcius!

Me: HUH? 16 degree celcius??? Bangkok? how can it be! it's so inland!

Colleague A: Ya la! its like crazy la!!! Bangkok leh! 16 degree celcius she was like so caught unprepared! She does not have any warm clothes at all!

Colleague B: Oh!!! IT's gonna be the end of the world...

Colleague A: hmmm.. maybe lo.. *types sms on her iphone*

Colleague B: do you all believe its going to be the end of the world?

Colleague A: * very fast response as usual* YES

Colleague B: So why are we working so hard now. we should all go and enjoy! ... Do you all think its gonna be in 2012?

Colleague A: Yea lo... I think so...

Me: According to the Bible, the signs are showing.

Colleague B: Really huh? What signs?

Me: Earthquake, tsunami, rise of 10 nations and wars.... we are hearing that suddenly and much more often now.

Colleague A: My friend says it will happen within our generation.

Colleague B: oooo.. ya lo... how i wish we all know when exactly the when the end of the world is, then we can plan our activities ahead of time.

Me: -.- huh..... if everyone knows when the end of the world will be, no one will be working and there will not even be food to go around! When that comes, it will really be the end of the world! Who will even be out there working for you to provide entertainment?

Colleague B: Ya lo. you are right

**Topic ends here**

I think God has a good reason for not letting us know when exactly will the world end. We all just have to be prepared and ensure our salvation. When the day comes, it will be like a "thief at night" and what we can only do is to be mentally prepared.
