hate Christians :) was hoping to get a few comments from them:)
THE BATTLE AXE: The Fullness of GODhead? (01/09/2014)—Many Christian believers understand the shared identity and unity for the three persons of divine GODhead is a matter of congruence and correspondence, rather than sameness. There is a “division of labor” without dissolution and separation. While each conveys presence through uniquely recognizable patterns, and may appear to operate as if having independent existence, all affirm, complete and perfect one another through hierarchies of divine interaction, eternal purpose, and sacred works. Thus, the oneness of GOD is in no way diminished by the fact that Creation and Incarnation are by the active agency of the Son and the Spirit; salvation through the Father and the Son; repentance, rebirth, and sanctification are of the Spirit; judgment of the quick and the dead is by the Son. See John 5: 22, Hebrews 1: 1-4, John 17: 14-24 and 1st John 5: 7-12, King James Version.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. (Ephesians 3: 14-21, KJV)

“micky”, here are a few points Christian believers have received and hold to as a basis for hope, joy, and strength to meet any crisis:
(1.) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (Matthew 24: 3, King James Version, KJV)
The world is not going to end; sin is. The Creation of GOD is to be eternal and everlasting. The world will exist within the divine presence, and GOD will abide within the world with mankind (see Matthew 28: 20 and Revelation 21: 1-5, KJV).
(2.) I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless. (Isaiah 13: 11, New International Version, NIV)
Mankind and the world that now is the sphere for human existence are undergoing alterations and changes that will completely eliminate sin as an influence upon created beings and living creatures. There are multiple divine operations and sacred events to be completed in a process for divine transformation whereby mankind will become immortal and incorruptible. Heaven and earth are being made new. (see Isaiah 65: 17, Isaiah 66: 22 and 2nd Peter 3: 1-5, KJV).
(3.) And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24: 14, NIV)
Various preparations are going forward among believers for the second coming of Jesus (many say, Advent). Included are the preaching of the Gospel; applying holy blood for atonement; cleansing of the Temple in heaven; and investigative judgment for those who will be received as Christ’s harvest from the earth.
(4.) Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. (Revelation 3: 10, NIV)
Those who acknowledge redemption and salvation by the ministry of Jesus Christ will be shielded, protected, and even removed from the earth, and will not endure all the destruction and hardship that must occur as the judgment of GOD against sin.
There is far more to be said, properly shared, and spiritually understood. (For example (5.) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3: 36, KJV)
Eternal life has already begun for believers in Jesus. For such, death and completing ones mortality is compared to sleep, and is only a temporary pause in existence, not an end or finish.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3: 16, KJV)
