“One Billion View Ali Fight” (I Wonder if Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Fight Can Beat This Number)

42- Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43- But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44- Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” (Matthew 24:42- 44 KJV)

“The world heavyweight rematch between champion Muhammad Ali and Joe Frasier had a billion viewers on October 01, 1975 giving it the largest viewing audience in the history of a single athletic event in the world. For 15 minutes before the fight, satellite communications beamed Philippines ethnic dances to people in neighboring Borneo to as far away as Goonhilly, England.” (Encyclopedia of 7,700 Illustrations, By: Paul Lee Tan)

I wonder if Pacquiao - Mayweather fight could beat this number. But there are wars and fighting in the other side of the world, and millions are dying; but sad to say that millions don’t have any idea what’s going on in our planet. Some don’t even dare to read the news or watch the news on television about the conflict. There’s no more value for life even in the religious sectors. No doubt that we are living in the End Times. Jesus is coming very soon!

Apostle Paul wrote; “16- For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  17- Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (I Thessalonians 4: 16- 17 KJV)
