There has been a lot of talk about the end of the world lately. There was the kooky Harold Camping, who predicted the rapture would occur on May 21st of this year (after his previous failed predictions in 1988 and 1994) followed by the end of the world coming in October. There is also the Mayan calendar ending, which some predict is the end of the world coming in 2012.
Here is the deal. The end of the world is coming. It’s a sure thing. There will be a day when Jesus returns. BUT even HE doesn’t know when that is! (Matthew 24:36: “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”) If even the SON doesn’t know when he will return … I’m sure Harold Camping isn’t going to figure it out … no matter how good at math he is.
As for the Mayan calendar … come on now ... can’t we just be impressed that they made a calendar that went that far? I mean, that was quite a calendar!
We need to live ready. Jesus is coming back and I hope it is soon. I will never believe a person who puts a date to it… in fact, it kind of makes me mad when someone does make a prediction because then I know it won’t happen that day. It says in the bible we won’t know… so we won’t know!
Live ready. Don’t worry about the rest because….. it’s a process.
