It's fake news. The Kingdom of God is within. Any day, people can be "raptured" in the blink of an eye without leaving this earth. In fact, with so much work that needs to be done to lift lost souls and comfort the broken-hearted, who would want to skeedaddle like Jonah?

He thought it was a good idea at the time.

Even the most "useless" individual in this world (from the world's perspective), can give a kind word or heartfelt compliment to anybody, or can feed the birds even. Perhaps part of a person's mission is to do God's work by hanging up a couple of bird feeders.

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Those who are gunning for the exits are missing the message. The first will be last and the last will be first.

Folks could head straight into the clouds just by choosing to be patient and kind in a sea of cranky people always offended by someone or something.
