    The End Times Are Not Nigh? | Mysteries of Faith EP9

    This is the final episode with Grant on his book You Can Believe. Pearse and Grant discuss "the end times.", they talk about how the Lord will not come and interfere with the order of the natural world as He created. Through revelation revealed to Emanual Swedenborg it is believed the end times can be interpreted as a decline of a spiritual/divine movement in the world or church. In so the Lord will bring a new church up to help people live happy, loving and true lives on this earth in preparation for the afterlife. Thank you for watching, liking and subscribing. We hope this series has allowed you live more useful and loving life, while being entertained. Links:  Learn more about the New Church at www.newchruch.org

    Why are we here? A question believed to be contemplated by everyone at some point in their lives.

Loving others, being useful and shunning evils are part of the answer, but many of the details may be up to each of us as individuals to figure out with the Lord's help.
