1. re: The End, our sun is not large enough to become a nova, but during it's dying stages, it will swell to a red giant, and the Earth will be within the sun, at a temperature where life as we know it cannot be sustained. But that probably won't be for 10,000,000,000 years or more.
2. Yes, I am Episcopalian, hence "AnglicaninMichigan".
3. Excellent point raised that our Kalendar is not the Jewish Calendar Jesus would have used liturgically, and it has been revised since Julius Caesar, so would not have matched the Roman version extant at that time.
4. This 666 stuff has devolved into silly superstition, and responsible Christians should eschew it, for the weightier matters of peace, justice, and love.
