Through our Christian faith, we believe that we have been baptized with the Holy Spirit and with fire. The Spirit guides us and fuels the fire within us. – Imagine a steam locomotive. – As that Divine fire burns within us and converts the Living Waters God pours into us into powerful steam, how will we turn that incredible potential energy into kinetic energy? How will we put our faith into action as we let others see and hear what it means to be a welcomed, accepted, and included part of the Kingdom of God? English and Campbell learn Sauvage intends to transform mainland Britain into the world's biggest prison. English accidentally blows their cover; he attempts to steal an incriminating DVD but accidentally takes the wrong disc before the two agents are captured. Any time I preach or lead a group, regardless of age, I start the same way. I’m going to say three short sentences. Please repeat each sentence, with enthusiasm. Jesus says, “That there will be natural disasters, earthquakes, and famines and the like.” Well, it seems to me that in recent times those things have been piling up one on top of the other almost.

As with so many verses taken out of context, some of today’s verses have been used to make people feel excluded from God’s Kingdom or unworthy of God’s love; that’s terrible theology. Context is everything; John and the other Jews of his time faced a variety of oppressive, life-threatening hardships every single day, from Roman military occupation to an economic system that ensured the top 1% lived luxurious lives at the expense of the other 99%; they could not have imagined our modern “middle classes” or “climbing the corporate ladder.” Now, as a veteran of television news, I can certainly understand why the reporter was not raptured. They’re usually pretty slimy, soulless creatures. But that one scene proves Rapture theology erroneous because I know of no camera men who would qualify for the Rapture either. Now, hold on to your hat: Joan of Arc is believed to have been the wife of Noah by 10% of those questioned.Tim Berrington as Roger, an MI7 agent who helps discover the identity of the "assailant" at the Tower of London Two men, Sinclair Lewis spent others on himself. Lord Madors spent himself on others. And what is the difference between the two? Two words, Jesus Christ. In 2003, the Archbishop was called upon to lead the corononation ceremony for Pascal Sauvage, as the Queen had abdicated. However, the ceremony was interrupted by MI7 agent Johnny English, who had discovered that Sauvage's ascendancy to the British throne had been part of a sinister scheme on the part of the Frenchman. The big problem, however, is the “ME” syndrome. Several times in the Barna report, references were made to what people themselves judge to be relevant. Inevitably, this translates into more for self in the here and now. In short, people are simply looking in the wrong direction. They would like to fashion a God that is more horizontally conceived. All of this business of “looking up and bowing down” places a great strain on people obsessed with their self-esteem.

In my mind, Jesus’ return isn’t something splashy or newsworthy. It doesn’t involve a beast, a seven-headed dragon, people disappearing or vehicles being unmanned — instead it has everything to do with God coming to dwell with humanity — God coming to live in every heart.Yesterday, after a day of paper reading and writing, we walked on the beach. It was windy and dark and utterly beautiful. I stood in the same spot I had just a year ago. I remember last year feeling a desire to simply walk into the waves, to be consumed by the vastness of the ocean–not in a end my life sort of way, but also, not in a calgon-take-me-away sort of way either. The ocean seemed the only place able to contain all that I was holding. Because maybe God’s renovation project is already underway. Maybe, when the writer of Revelation said it would happen “soon,” he meant “now.” If that’s true, all baptized disciples are called to roll up their sleeves and join Jesus in cleaning house. Even as new messes pile up, we can whistle as we work because we know how the story ends. But, wait, you might say, “What about Revelation? That’s certainly biblical, being in the Bible and all.” Well, yes, Revelation is in the Bible, but despite LaHaye, Darby and all the other end time prophets, the book of Revelation is not a book of prophecies, but instead is a book written for a certain audience in a certain time – namely Christians living under imperial Roman rule around 96 CE. Paul Alan Laughlin writes in his book Remedial Christianity: What Every Believer Should Know About the Faith, but Probably Doesn’t that the beast is “the Roman Empire that was threatening to devour the young and vulnerable Church. The seven heads of the dragon in Revelation 12 refer to the famous seven hills of the capital city, and the ten crowned horns in Revelation 13 to the ten emperors that had ruled her since the death of Jesus. As for 666: the name of Nero Caesar, when converted to Hebrew letters (which were also Hebrew numerals) adds up to that very number; and he had been one of the most vicious of all Roman emperors in his persecution of Christians.” (p. 223)

I find it incredible that so many of this generation claim that they cannot figure out what the Bible is saying. We are touted to be the most broadly educated Americans in the history of the republic. For more than 200 years, people from the most rural settings to the urban sprawls of this country have had no problem getting the message. Perhaps many chose to ignore what they heard, but they did get it.

Kindhearted but clumsy MI7 agent Johnny English dreams of becoming Agent One, MI7's top agent. After the real Agent One and then all of MI7's remaining agents are killed through English's unwitting incompetence at his funeral, he is left as the sole surviving agent capable of finishing Agent One's mission. If you’re thinking that this life changing book is the Bible — you’d be wrong. Instead, Sherrie had been reading Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins’ “Left Behind” — the series of books that depicts a terrifying account of the Earth’s last days as millions of faithful Christians are taken up to heaven in the Rapture.
