There is going to be, on NBC a six part miniseries (remember those). The plot is basically that the world has reached the end and the book of Revelations is coming to pass. There are two protagonists in the story trying to find a way to forestall the end, and there are those that are encouraging it. It’s an intriguing story idea, since I work nights, I will probably tape it.
But it led me to a question. How stacked is the deck against us?
If we assume man is the creation of God, and we as a people, have demonstrated a good deal of inventiveness and ingenuity. Is it possible that when the events come (if they come) that we has God’s creation, using the tools he gave us could forestall it in some way, by some means, or are we doomed from the get-go?
When the first event happens, do we just lie down and accept it as inevitable (see, futility)? That doesn’t seem to fall in with the basic theme of the bible. So, do we organize counter measures in what would be an act of defiance against the end days. But that would mean we are acting against the God that created Revelations, so we are acting against his wishes (see, damnation).
Or, did John get certain details incorrect and the events are not set, that there is one glimmer of hope (see, Pandora)?
