Hello?

Any one out there?

You mean to say that the world did not end yesterday as predicted?

Starting today there will be plenty of people yukking it up because the prediction of the end of the world did not happen.  On the other hand there were people who bought into it and were convinced that yesterday was going to be the end.

Two Takes

I have two takes on this.  And I’d love to hear what you have to say.

First, whenever these predictions come out it makes Christianity look stupid.  Someone claiming to “know from the Bible” that the world will end on a certain day.  Somebody told me that the man who predicted yesterday’s doom had predicted it before in 1994.

He’s not the only one.  It seems every 10 years or so someone is predicting “the end.”  They claim that they “know” from prophecy and calculations from the Bible.  Well, it looks like the calculations were wrong again.  And not only do they look stupid, but it makes all of Christianity look pretty silly.

Secondly, why don’t people actually read all the sections in the Bible that pertain to the topic?  Actually, they wouldn’t have to read very much.  They could simply read what an excellent authority had to say about it.

Jesus himself said that of that day and that hour no man knows.  He went on to say that the angels do not know, and neither does the Son know.  Only the Father knows.

End Of Discussion

I don’t know about you, but that settles it for me.  End of discussion. The angels don’t know, and, Jesus doesn’t know, but you do?  Then, if the Bible is true, and you know, then you must be the Father!

Yes there is plenty of scripture describing what is coming in the future. (In a recent post, I put what I’m excited about.)  But the reality is that no one knows when.  So then why don’t we live each day to the fullest, to the best of our ability?
