We continue today with Luke's description of the "Eschatological Discourse" of Jesus, the passing away of this world as we know it. (Lk 21:12-19) This has been a hot topic for centuries, with groups periodically appearing with the "definite date" of the end of the world, mistakenly taken so seriously be some that they have divested themselves of all belongings to be ready for "the end." The words of Jesus, are, however, a stark warning that we have not here a permanent kingdom, and the time will eventually come, in the life of each of us, and for the whole world, to move onto the next world. Yes, we are to make every effort to help bring this world to its best possible state, but we also must be aware that the World That Will Never End, heaven, is our final goal. Let us not forget that, especially as we accompany each other along the way.
