Before you read this article, The Bible Story Teller, wishes you to know they place their stock and trade in the Lord Jesus Christ, the ultimate initial public offering. Facebook* may soon be an IPO (Initial Public Offering) and listed on the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange). They’re saying the creator’s stock could be worth 20 Billion dollars or more! Many employees could own stock worth hundreds of millions of dollars—each! Many other employees could have stock worth tens of millions of dollars when the deal is made official. Wondering how your 401K is doing lately? Most likely not as good as this projection. Don’t worry you can always compare notes with others in your situation—on Facebook!
Money is everything in life right? Who needs friends and family, health and a steady job? That new car is more important than paying off that old credit card bill right? You work hard; you’re entitled to do whatever you want with your money and your free time right? You answer only to yourself right?
You may not believe it but from every indication this present generation is living in what the Bible calls the “last days”. What exactly does that mean to the average person? What are these “last days”? The Bible says that Jesus Christ came on this sin-soaked planet to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10), when His work was finished, He promised He would return a second time. The “last days” are commonly thought of as that time when Jesus is close to coming back the second time. The Bible says that those days are going to be fraught with trouble of every kind.
“But mark this day: There will be terrible times in the last days.People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful,proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal,not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited,lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.” 2 Timothy 3:1-4
Do you think the animal kingdom will face the same problems? Not likely. Get the point?
