I just got out of a flu and today is the 1st day that i'm feeling better. I checked my facebook account and found disturbing news about today being the end of the world. I said to myself, "really? I just got well and at 6pm today, as what they say, the world is gonna end. I haven't even taken a bath yet and it's been 3 days already, i don't want to smell this bad when i meet my Saviour." But kidding aside, I can't help but wonder if there's any truth in this. I made some research and found out that this message originated from an 89 year old leader of the ministry Family radio worldwide, his name is Harold Camping and he already predicted the end of the world once before and was wrong. He initially predicted that the end of the world was last Sept. 6, 1994 and as you can see, the world is still intact until his next prediction. He said that there were some miscalculations on his initial results but they already got enough time to review and do further research. So this time, it's the real deal! So today, May 21, 2011 (Saturday) at 6PM, the world is gonna end!
I do not want to take this lightly because the end of the world is coming and it's coming soon. But to make assumptions based on calculations as to how or what methods used, i don't know...I think this is out of line. Jesus clearly said in Matthew 24:36-37, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only." Will the Lord reveal this day to a man? i don't have the answer to that. Will God choose a single person to warn everyone? I believe God has chosen each one of us to be a warning to the rest. God said in Galatians 6:2, "Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." The Lord has been reminding us of the 2nd coming and we are all aware of it, even the atheists have heard of it. And We, Christians, should be a constant reminder of it to the world. So what is the commotion all about?
I believe that when the Lord comes, we will know! We will be filled with that peace that passes all understanding and we will know that the day has come. Have you had that experience when you know that things are going to be fine no matter how bad the situation looks? Do you remember that feeling? That assurance within that things are gonna be okay. I believe that in the midst of any chaos or any battles, when He comes, wherever we are, we will be ready! I don't know but my imagination on that day is different from what i'm hearing in the news. I don't see any earthquakes or typhoons or fire coming down from heaven to destroy the world. I imagine myself doing my daily tasks and then, out of a sudden, i'll feel it. The silence will allow me to hear my heart beating faster, I do imagine myself freezing when it happens but that's because everything will stop at the sound of the trumpet and my body will shake. I will try to move with all my might to break free from whatever is holding me because the time is here and i am ready. Once i get free, I will leave everything and run as fast as I can to His direction. And there I will see my God, my Jesus, my Lord with arms open wide waiting for my embrace. It will be majestic! It will be beautiful, amazing, marvelous... i will run out of words to describe it but it will definitely be something memorable. This is the 2nd coming i imagine. After that comes the tribulation but that's another story.
The real question is, are you ready to meet Him when that time comes? Will you be able to break free when He arrives? Just like the 5 virgin brides who brought extra oil for His coming, will you be able to say that you're ready and will He finds you waiting when He comes back?
