We're All Going to Die!!!!

This past Sunday, our pastor began a series, ‘2012 – Is This The End?’

There is just something sensational when we start talking about the end of the world. It pricks our ears and compels many to buy books and movie tickets. One of my own friends keeps saying that she feels like Jesus is coming back very soon.

I must admit that every so often, I have the sense that the end is right around the corner. In fact, I didn’t think that I would make it here to 2010. But here I am.

Harold Camping is one guy who says that the Bible points to May 21, 2011 as being the day when Christ returns to pick up His people. There is also lot of media hype surrounding Dec. 21st, 2012 as being our final day as the Mayan calendar comes to close.

Here is my prediction and you can quote me if you like.

Kevin Abell says that the world will NOT end on May 21st 2011 or Dec. 21st 2012.

Feel free to print T-Shirts and bumper stickers if you like. The way that I understand end times prophecy, is that the end is supposed to come at a time when we feel rather secure.

1 Thessalonians 5:2-3
For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape.

P lease read more of Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, but I think he’s quite clear in saying that Christ’s return will come as a surprise. So if there are hordes or people expecting the world to come to a close on Dec or May 21, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise now would it?

We don't need to ask ourselves 'When will it end?'

The more important question is this - 'Are we ready now?'
