The Bible tells us we are to be ready for Christ to come again; for example in Matthew 24:44, So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. and in Matthew 25:1-13 with The Parable of the Ten Virgins and more. Jesus also tells us we will see the signs of his coming and the end of the age like the fig tree tells the season. The disciples asked Jesus, what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age? Jesus said, learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Matthew 24:32-33 Advisor to World Leaders, President of WRNO worldwide shortwave radio, Dr. Rev.

But he bounces back when asks about his fathers turn as Professor Dumbledore .on the red carpet during the premier of Harry Potter.In Top Nerd News the big story is the Writer's Guild of America has gone on strike. The effect is almost immediate when it comes to Late Night Talk shows, but it will be a slow burn on Cable and Streaming Platforms.

Finally, how much money are we really talking about at the end of the day? Skungy's Pick of the Week is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Other than a gigantic 1st day download with patches, updates, changes etc it's apparently a very good game. They've listened to the players and made changes for the better.
