Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I will check out that Thessalonians verse. Another thing that weirds me out is that I've been hearing so many people, in real life and on the internet, praying "Jesus come quick"! I've prayed it myself. There is such wickedness going on. Or maybe it's more people being OPENLY wicked. Anyway it occurred to me recently that there's a whole lot of bad stuff that has to happen, even worse than what's ever happened in history, before Jesus gets here. I would say "be careful what you wish for" but no matter what's coming, it will be worth it in the end. Thanks again.
The New Testament ends with our Lord promising He will come "soon." We can pray in agreement with that. Anything we find in Scripture we can pray along with, and it's not a vain prayer.
We should fight against evil, in every way we can: our own sin, cultural problems we're immersed in, etc. Scripture was written in a time when Christians couldn't possibly play a part in politics. Amazing that we can!
