Stella: I have another question. I spent the weekend at the [http://www.ioba.org/standard/2003/08/bookexpo-america-draws-excellent-crowds-in-l-a-wows-your-ioba-reporter/ Book Conference in Los Angeles] and I talked to some people about my book, [[The Secret Revelation]]. I was kind of [[surprised]], some people were respectful but others actually look forward to [[Armageddon]]. They look forward to this end time, the end of the world, and that [[surprised]] me. How can they prefer this [[death]] and [[destruction]] to God’s loving message? Would you care to comment on that?

JarEl: TR, George. Those who look forward to [[Armageddon]] are doing it out of a [[selfish]] point of view. In which they believe that only certain [[chosen people]] shall be saved and the rest shall perish in the flames. That is how they justify the [[evils]] of this world, rather than trying to fix the world or try to improve it, they settle with this idea that the end will come. Therefore, they selfishly throw away all [[responsibility]] towards this planet and only [[focus]] on their own lives and their own [[salvation]]. This is much of the mentality behind this. There is no Armageddon; there are no end times. The world shall continue as it has been. Your air may become dirtier, more [[population]], more [[pollution]], more [[crime]], more [[wars]]. Things may get worse before they get better, but the point that am trying to make is that your world shall continue and it is up to you, up to the [[citizens]] of [[Urantia]], to improve this world for later [[generations]]. It is not going to be improved by a [[miracle]] of God. He is not going to come in and destroy all of the [[evil]] and save those who are [[good]]. He is going to allow this world to evolve into [[Light and Life]]. For that to happen, a lot of you will have to put in your two cents worth. From my point of view your two cents are worth two hundred thousand and even more. That is my point of view.
