MAY 21st
The Rapture
The end of the world...as we know it?
LOL. So what do you guys think about all of this? I remember when Y2K happened and everyone thought the world would explode because our computers couldn't handle it. HUH? Looking back now, how freaking crazy was that notion? Regardless, it was a New Years I will forever cherish as it was the last one spent while Jay was alive. He was mildly convinced it COULD happen so he wanted to make sure all of his family (and us) were together just in case. It was really special.
Now, all this chatter about May 21st being the end of the world. I honestly hadn't heard much about it until recently and I have to admit, I still don't know much about it. I guess according to some dude, Jesus is coming to take all the believers on the 21st and everyone else is going to die in some earthquake hell in October or something. Here's a website I found with some "Holy 411" for ya.
Here's my take.
I know where I'm going when the good Lord calls me home. If it's May 21st, I'm not worried. I used to fear going to Heaven just because life on earth was so awesome. Now, I feel differently. Do I really think May 21st is D day? Nah. People have been taking bets and giving opinions on when the rapture will occur for a zillion years, and we're still here. The truth is, only God knows and again, I'm not worried about figuring out when that is. On the other hand, when I look around me at the condition of the world...I do believe we're approaching end times. Do I think it will be in my lifetime? Meh. Possibly. Possibly not.
How do you guys feel about all of this "end time" talk?
In my opinion, I know the Rapture will happen eventually, but as for it happening on Saturday, well I just point to Matthew 24: 35-37 " Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." (NIV) The people who have come up with the May 21st rapture really don't have an explanation for this verse. All I know is that the Lord is coming back, and even though we don't know when, we can still use these "warnings" to get our lives in order and to share our faith with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you... I know where I'm going, I know where my family is going. I do feel an urgency to make sure all my other loved ones are going to meet me in Heaven. But do I think it's going to be Saturday? No. Do I think we're living in the end times? Yes. But there have been many many people throughout history that has felt the same.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with ya on this! People have been trying to predict the end of the world for years; and they've failed. Every. Single. Time. Keep guessing guys, only God knows!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, have you heard of "2012"? They even made a movie out of it...
But look how unpopular it has already become..NO ONE believes it anymore.
Silly stuff in the world we live in!!
as a Christian, i feel like it's a joke. But in all honesty, there are a lot of things going on today in our world that reflect Revelations. Just sayin...glad I'm BFF with Jesus. :)
ReplyDeleteOnly God knows the time...and He's not telling!
