I sincerely hope the world will not go on that long anymore and that God will come before then as he has promised to do in the Bible.

In a hundred years time most of us will be dead so what the world will be like will be of no concern to us 'personally' anyway.

Jesus Christ Has Promised To Return!

If the promise is in vain then there is no hope for any of us.

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

A Pope has not visited the Holy Land since John Paul II in March 2000.

On Tuesday 12th May, Benedict visited some of the most sacred sites in Jerusalem and he urged both Israelis and Palestinians to engage in peace.  He went to the Dome of the Rock, where Muslims believe the Prophet Mohammad ascended to heaven, and the adjacent Western Wall, revered by Jews.  He left a written prayer in the wall asking for peace. Later he said:

'In a world sadly torn by divisions, this sacred place serves as a stimulus to overcome misunderstandings and conflicts of the past and build a world of justice and peace.'

The 82-year-old later prayed at the traditional site of Christ's Last Supper.

He is also meeting Israeli and Palestinian leaders during his tour.

Benedict yesterday described the wall Israel has built around the West Bank as a symbol of 'stalemate' between the country and Palestinians. As he stood by it during his tour of the Middle East, he said: 'in a world where more and more borders are being opened up, it is tragic to see walls still being erected. How we earnestly pray for an end to the hostilities that have caused this wall to be built.' He added: On both sides of the wall, great courage is needed if fear and mistrust is to be overcome.'

The pontiff also held mass at Manger Square in Bethlehem, which is thought to be Christ's birthplace.
