A Better Future, Way Above Ground!

There is a Game out there made by Bethesda called Fallout (1, 2, Tactics, 3, New Vegas, 4, 4-VR, 76, you get the picture.) that follows the story line of a post-nuclear/apocalyptic America. You play as a character that emerges from a "Vault" (underground bunker) to try to survive, make friends, vanquish foes, and ultimately rebuild America. Heroic stuff, right? One of the catch-phrases of the game is: "A better future - underground!" People say this as they think into the future to the impending doomsday (which is not promised, but unavoidable), when they will run to the safety of the Vaults and dwell there until the radiation settles. Then, they will emerge to reclaim their land - the USA!!!
Okay, what is my point in sharing this with you? Well, many of us look forward to the next big thing. The trade war. The eminent EMT attack that tons of us were convinced were going to fry all of our electronics three-ish years ago. That math test next week. We forget often that the immediate danger (or perceived danger) isn't what we should be focusing on. This too shall pass. After that, what then?
One day, the world will be punished. Not with atomic bombs, but with real, honest to goodness fire. Heavenly fire. At that time, we'll all be with Jesus, and I can't wait! Are you focusing on that one day that faith shall be made sight?
I hope so!
Be blessed,

I appreciate the truth being shared about a horrible end to come, and that there is also a great hope to look forward to IF you belong to Christ:). Not everyone will choose to live for Christ in this world. A great way to share your excitement to be with Christ. Meditating on these things and the fire to come will hopefully help us who know Him to have more of an urgency to share our hope with others, that they might escape the coming fire. It’s neat to see how you bring the circumstances of every day life back to Christ. I look forward to reading more.
I want to say I understand that this video game is an imperfect example. However, it came to mind while mulling over an old friend who was obsessed with and told me every detail about it. I saw a correlation and took the plunge. I will open up a forum page for anyone with snide remarks or genuine questions to comment there.
