This weekend facebook, news telecast and major websites had something to say about the big Doomsday prediction that was suppose to take place this Saturday.Harold Camping preached that the world would end on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 6 p.m. local time, where we would experience terrible earthquakes and the rapture of 200 million of God’s believers. Here we are the Tuesday following and on the news this morning he was stating that he miss calculated the date. Now we are targeting October 21st 2011. I guess a new date target to make some profit.
What's amazing is the amount of people who actually believed this would take place. Most made mocks of it but if you do a quick search on May 21st Doomsday, you' ll find articles upon articles on how people prepared for this event. A true Christian knows that NOBODY absolutely NO ONE can predict the end of times.
A way to think of it is we all know we are guaranteed death correct? But we don't know when this will happen. So why do we worry about the end of times more then we do of our own end when the chance of us dying today, tomorrow or in 50 years are the same odds as the end of the world. It will happen the question is WHEN.
Scientist can predict world phenomenons, people can related world climate changes to the finally days but nobody can pinpoint an exact day. So why are so many people so taken by all these predictions? I read some people even gave away a great amount of their savings to "be ready for the big day".
My personal opinion is if your a Christian, get close to our Lord and know that you are at peace with his decisions when that day comes. If you are not a Christian believer, then be a good person and remember what you offer others is the same Karma you will receive.
Why follow someone that knows just as much as you about the final days which is NOTHING!!
Interesting articles on people who really believe!
