In case you were unaware, the end of the world is supposedly tomorrow at 6 PM. There might be people freaking out around the world at this very minute because today could be our last full day on earth as we know it. Some people are even planning to hitch a ride on dolphins, who have long known of the impending destruction of the planet earth (See the movie, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and this youtube video:
Personally, I think that the people who supposedly "got this from the Bible" failed to read that the Bible already gave us the date. Jesus Himself, told us when this world would come to an end and when the next age and His coming would occur. It is time you found out the date our Lord gave for His return. Jesus Christ said:
"About that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Matthew 24:36, (NIV)
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Mark 13:32, NIV).
Not the Father and the special believers or the Father and some hidden code buried in the Old Testament, but Only The Father. People have been giving "the date" ever since 500AD. I don't know how many times they have to pull a date out of a hat before they figure it out that Jesus is not coming back on their calendar.
So, my message to you is this:There is no need to panick or to be alarmed. 99% chance that the day will come and 6 PM tomorrow will get here and nothing. No giant earthquakes, no stars falling to the sky, no ships from a Vogon constructor fleet (see Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), no Jesus coming back, nothing. As Jesus said, "At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it." (Matthew 24:23, NIV). How can the church, or people claiming to be a part of Christ's church, make the same damn prediction over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over....over and over again and people, well some believers anyway, cannot figure it out that ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS WHEN THE END OF THE WORLD AND JESUS' RETURN IS?
I hope that Sunday morning does not result in a lot of people committing suicide because they placed their faith in a date that did not happen and sold all their stuff or something else really stupid in order to be prepare for their Lord's return. My message to them is this: First,read Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32. Second, no where in the Bible does Jesus or any other prophet or apostle or anyone say that in order to prepared for the second coming of Christ you need to go sell all your stuff when it is for sure at hand.
I say that there is 99% chance that tomorrow is not the end of the world, because there is always the chance that Jesus will come back tomorrow. If He wants to come back tomorrow at 6 PM, He can go right ahead. Don't let me stop Him. He can come after I'm done writing this blog article if He likes. Either way, it's fine by me. But the chances are already stacked against tomorrow "because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him" (Mt 24:44b).
I rest my case. So, relax, no one's going anywhere tomorrow @ 6.
