The “end of the world,” the New World Order (NWO), and more on fasting “after the spirit” are shared, today. An Internet writer using the ID “lalapef melfofo” (Level 2 with 618 points, a “Yahoo! Answers” member since July 30, 2012) posted the following:
How do people not see the end of the world is so close?
2012, here comes doom! The NWO is here
THE BATTLE AXE: Fasting “After the Spirit” (09/19/2012)—The practice of fasting with meditation that is often found in eastern traditions generally focuses upon making oneself empty in order to receive enlightenment and power by eliminating the action and content of mind along with other obstacles that entangle ones spirit. By contrast, the Christian practice of fasting is intended to make one full of the Holy Spirit, and is joined to prayer, partaking of the Lord’s Supper (also called Communion and the Holy Eucharist), and continuing active service to GOD. See Isaiah 58 and 1st Corinthians 11: 14-30, King James Version.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; (2nd Peter 3: 9-15, King James Version)

Here are some thoughts you may find useful:
How, why and what we know is determined by features of both our carnal and spiritual experience. The “end of the world” is not a “social truth” contained in our focus upon the goals, living routines and national imperatives of our family, our peer groups, or even our competitors and enemies. A person must accept the notion that the world (i.e., the order and patterns for existence created by mankind) exists infused with and surrounded by realities that are totally spirit in their nature and substance. To the extent one regards reality as including no more than the narrow dimensions of being carnal, material, physical and social, they commit one of mankind’s most common examples of “human error.”
Many Christian believers are convinced that true knowledge regarding the end of the world has been recorded among the holy writings that forecast and predict events of the final times. More correctly, the Holy Scriptures detail the operation of the Divine Person, and the sacred purposes that will be fulfilled through the course of eternity. There is a “big picture” that many miss by clutching at straws of detail. For example, believers must learn to say that demons and devils do not go to a “resting place,” to some grave (hell), or to a “final reward.” They are neither mortal nor immortal, and do not “die”. Instead, because they pursue complaining, insurrection, lawlessness and revolution, they go to judgment, imprisonment, and are destroyed in a lake of fire. Similarly, through the imparted, indwelling Spirit of GOD, believers acquire a completely new way of thinking that expounds incorruptibility and immortality for mankind through Jesus Christ, rather than by simple obedience of divine law.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, as a condition of existence for spirit, eternity is not a measure of time. Believers are not given accounts of devastation, ruin and violence, so much as proclamations of divine compassion, law, glory, and salvation. The many levels of intimacy and permanence for relationship with GOD must come into their view.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
