The human race may not.

Both?
Did you read the book, *The Harbinger*?
He addresses that kind of issue.
Could be just like 9/11, obama is part of a series of events God is allowing to happen to us to bring us to repentance. And the events, if ignored, will continue in frequency and severity as warnings, harbingers if you will, of impending judgment.
God is a God of mercy, but there comes a time where it will not be held back and His judgment will fall. But He doesn’t do it without warning us and appealing to us.
He’d rather save than judge.
Actually, the world WILL come to an end some day but the eternal souls of men will continue forever.
The human race will continue as the redeemed and it will not be on this planet as we know it.
Answer: Yes.
Comment: However, it is important not to confuse the end times with the ongoing death throes of our Western Civilization.
I meant right now this minute.
We must think we’re pretty special to be here at the precise moment the world ends after it’s been here for billions of years.
It’s a narcissistic belief, like “now that I’m here the world should end because I am the most important person who ever lived and what would the point be of the world continuing after I am gone?”
I never thought of it that way before.
I think obama is the result of a steady falling away from faith in the LORD. As a nation there are fewer and fewer Christians. Sure, we have those denominations that people are born into but most of those congregants haven't even read a Bible let alone sought The Lord after seeing their sinful state.
We see the signs everywhere that the USA is no longer a Christian nation. A majority don't care about planned parenthood harvesting baby parts. A majority don't care about the normalization of homosexuality. The public schools don't allow prayer and creationism/intelligent design is considered a joke.
I for one support missionaries that share The Gospel throughout the middle east. I also donate to Gospel for Asia and Voice of the Martyrs. When possible I share The Gospel with muslims and most importantly I trust God will save those lost souls that He intends to before the end.
Billions of years before red giant, increasing solar radiation will evaporate earth’s oceans.
The world is not coming to an end. Everybody can relax.
Is it going to get better than it is today? Probably not right away.
Everything reverts to the mean.
Jesus might show up today, or not foa millennium. If one sits around piously waiting, one would be wasting a lot of good time. Stop worrying about what goes on ten thousand miles away. Start finding out what’s going on next door.
We do too.
Who’s sitting around piously?
Not any Christians I know.
You’re preaching to the choir.
Honestly, I don’t know why recognizing the signs of the times results in so many assumptions about what people are doing (or not doing) about it.
For rest of the 'infidel world' - the one this enemy, beholds - in an absence of moral,rational judgment, per our responding to such threat - our 'end of world'. . .will follow.
Allowing a Genocide; a Patricide; a 'War on Western Civilization'. . .is a gross and deadly misunderstanding of 'Love Your Neighbor'. And with End of World, as we know it, consequences.
The Almighty placed Adam and Eve in the garden with one instruction - Man & woman failed to follow it.
Next, God Almighty wrote his will on stone tablets for all mankind to follow - Man & woman failed to follow them.
Finally the Son of God appeared and carefully taught the way for man to live - Man & woman is failing this too.
Knowing the end from the beginning, and man's nature, the Almighty created a gate back to the garden. It lies at the end of the path of righteousness. A map of the path is free for the asking and the gate will open for all who follow the path.
So it's obvious the Almighty created man & woman with free will. The problem is we seldom use it responsibly.

One of the main points of your comment is a good one that needs repeating. This world ends for all of us, individually, in the near future, not hundreds or thousand or millions of years from now.
Science says the sun is getting smaller...Might want to stock up on firewood and flashlight batteries...
I was very careful in my wording. I specifically used the term “one” instead of a third person “you.”
I am writing in general, not addressing you or anyone else specifically.
If He wasn't, we'd already be gone.
