Your 'of course' applies (of course!) to the promise resurrected life beyond death. <br /><br />What will happen in this world (and to this world) is still a legitimate matter of 'wondering', because the promises of Christ do not apply to this world; indeed, there are explicit statements in the New Testament that this world will end. <br /><br />I can't see any chance of a Good ending, unless a lot more people repent their evil and come to *want* Good. <br /><br />Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-58501441873708591292021-09-26T15:32:08.872+01:002021-09-26T15:32:08.872+01:00You wonder?
