Postponed witty comebacks for all things righteous
Wednesday. 5.18.11 8:38 am
When I was... I can't remember, 8,9 or 10, I was sitting in a Fazolvi's, a cheap 'italian' restaurant that me and my family had never really frequented before. Everyone started talking about what they thought heaven was going to be like. As I heard it, a chill settled all over my skin and a flaming heat right over my bones. My heart seemed to clamp down on itself and my stomach started flashing green for "vomit". I threw up everything I ate, the meatballs swirling in the bottom of the toilet. I flushed the toilet and tried to think of pink fluffy bunnies until all of it went away.

Even now, I still can't help feeling this way whenever someone starts raging about 'the end'.

I was sitting in the car with my students when Ryan turns to me, firey and angry and asks me, "Do all animals die?"
"I suppose so," I replied.
"But we're animals," he said.
"Well, sort of," I amended. He was silent.
"Everything dies, Ryan," I said cautiously.
"Does that mean we're going to die?" he asked incredulously.
I looked him straight in the eye and thought about it. I didn't know any answers except the truth. I nodded.
He was very quiet for a while, but then a little while later, someone started up another conversation and it was over.

This Sunday, the speaker comes up, just as fired up as my little seven year old. He explains, like a petulant child, that he does not understand why people don't like talking about the end times. He said that if we truly believe what we believe, than we should welcome the coming of the Lord. Meanwhile, I was sitting in my little coffee table chair thinking, in incredulously overwrought biblese, "Has he no fear of GOD?!"

People keep saying that kind of stuff, in Christian music and in the haloed company of bible thumpers, I sit quietly and listen to them drone on about the 'glories of the day of the lord' and I just have to sit in awe at the arrogance... It's sort of like, "Oh, so you really think you're going?" And they pull out John 14:6 "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" and Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" as though those are suppose to be answers.

Nothing gets me more than people who spit verses out at me like ticker tape. Have they not read, Matthew 4? Even the Devil can quote scriptures. Have they not read about the wives who miss the bridegroom, or the servant who buries his gold in the sand? Or Haggai? Or any of the prophets? Have they not read about how God tears down cities and nations and even whole worlds? Oh, and you are supposed to tell me that you aren't afraid? You aren't afraid of the God who's face will kill anyone who sees it? GOD IS TERRIFYING!

At least that's what I think, but then again, maybe I'm "just afraid". Well how about THESE VERSES:

Pslams 2:11
Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.

Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Proverbs 8:13
To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.

Proverbs 15:16
Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.

Ecclesisates 7:16-18
Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise-- why destroy yourself? Do not be overwicked, and do not be a fool-- why die before your time? It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all extremes.

And maybe for me?
Isaiah 8:12-13 Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread,
