Now or Later?

(3)

Interesting news this week concerning Iran nukes. Seems Iran has produced a small amount of UF4 (Uranium Floride). Estimates concerning when Iran will have a 'nuculer weapon' range from a year or two years to ten years, with the most credible estimates at around three to five years. Should this worry us? That is the question.

I'm not worried... at my age. I might not be around in three to five years. Also I live in Colorado, USA, a very long way from Iran. If I was French I might be worried. If I was Israeli I might be very worried. Might not. Why worry?

I've heard stories of a coming 'Apocolypse,' of course, from the usual Christian nutcakes. The 'Left Behind' series is the most definitive current example. Jesus is on the way they say and is due to arrive momentarily. So be ready. Wear clean panties. Don't let Jesus catch you with your undies down.

So far as I can determine there are two opposing schools of thought concerning the imminent arrival of Jesus: One school wants Him to show up now. Immediately. The other school would just as soon He wait awhile. So: to which school do you personally belong? That is the other question. And how can you tell?

Lucky you, I am here to put your minds at rest concerning this matter. I am here to help you decide whether you would like Jesus to return now, or whether on the other hand you would prefer that Jesus arrive... later.
