Church Minister jailed for life - 35 counts of abuse including rape

I know this thread has gotten off course... So, I'll take it a little further off course.
I was talking to my neighbor's friend and we were talking about all this crap going on in Lebanon. He said it wasa time to rejoice because Biblical Phrophecy was coming to pass and Christ will return.
I said... you know, there are people dying over there and you are rejoicing? How is that any different than them, dancing as planes crashed into our buildings?
He went on about the destruction and rebuilding of the temple and all of that stuff... and I could not help to think... but, it means death and destruction of a lot of people's lives. This guy is happy for death and destruction for his own personal spiritual gain. The guy seemed a bit to whacked for me to argue with, so I let it be.
...
I'm just wondering... how would Jesus see this? My guess... through a tear stained eye.

I am so not a fan of viewing what's going on right now through eschatological lenses. I'd venture to say you're right about Jesus' reaction to what's going on (just a guess, of course). You feel free to tell your friend that prognosticating about when Jesus is coming back has been done for hundreds of years, and not a one of them has been correct, and almost all of them have involved death and destruction.

Me personally, I try to live my life in anticipation of His coming, and not spend time trying to figure out when that'll be. It'll happen when it happens. Mine is to be prepared, not to predict.
