I Predict You’re Going To Die Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 9, 2011

God doesn’t want us to know WHEN we’re going to die, but He stresses the fact that one day we shall (if Jesus doesn’t return first). Why does God want us to face the reality of our own mortality? Why stress that we will all die?
