The World's End

I have inspected The World’s End. This is a public house in Chelsea, built in typically Victorian 'gin palace' style. Its name, which predates the current building by several centuries, probably derives from the popular belief held by Londoners to this day that nothing exists outside of their city. Modern London has swallowed up many thousands of acres which were then countryside, Chelsea was once a distinct village.

This world is indeed going to end. It won’t be caused by global warming and climate change, and neither will it be saved by electric cars and paper straws. It will end because the Lord Jesus Christ, the judge of the living and the dead, has set a time limit on His creation’s rebellion. Although He will recreate something better and purer, existence as we now know it will terminate. To His people, this will be a day of great rejoicing; to those who rejected Him, a time of great sorrow and catastrophic upheaval.

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Revelation 22:20
