I guess most of everyone is familiar with this date???as this date made most people around the world panic... it's rather an odd thing...
I guess this picture too isn't a stranger to most of those who were in California and being in panic because of a rumor going around the world announcing that the world will end in May 21st 2011, and on that day the rapture would happen, and then on October.... well.....
The rest who weren't raptured would be destroyed by war and a huge comet plunging into earth -_-""Then some comes asking a question that who in the wide world would come up with such nonsense????
it would be by this old man called Harold Camping... which runs a radio station and so forth... and he then made a fabulous discovery by the methods of modern science to prove that he found out the day of rapture from the Bible..... well judging from the picture of how he scrapped out the world "Holy" from Holy Bible is already something to think about XDwell a simple answer would be that even in the Bible Jesus said that no person, no man, no one even knows the day of Judgment, only the Father alone... but then here comes an old man telling us that he knows, and people just blindly follows him??? I guess some of us haven't been reading our Bibles...
Of course this isn't the first epic fail from this guy... he did one before, I think was in the year 1992??? But he said he wasn't confirmed then so there's room for failure... so... well can't blame him? But now he said his confirm 100% without a shadow of doubt, and that's a rather strong word to use with a lot of balls to back up ~~~
Well if it's just the theory of one man I couldn't really care less... but if you've watched the videos of how some people were REALLY convinced that they just gave up their jobs, sold off all their properties and stuff and just stood there with their Bibles opened facing to the sky waiting for rapture........ it's really sad... so what happens to them now that they've lost everything???
when they went to his office on the 21st May, it was all closed and this old man has gone into hiding.... of course then came the saying that the reason why the rapture didn't happen was because of what happened in the book of Jonah when the city of Nineveh repented and God didn't destroy them because of their repentance, and the same thing caused God to hold back because of the repentance of his people.... oh wow..... -_-"
Awkward........then again.... some might say that those people deserved it for believing in a fake fella spreading lies and rumors.... but then again if you've seen the faces of those who were desperate at that moment, the tears that fell from their eyes of the grief that some of their loved ones haven't known Christ and that they are running out of time... I sure don't see any selfishness there that when these people saw the even greater need to save one another and getting each other to know Christ before it's too late...
and also for those who sold off all their possessions??? Well some might call them dumb too... but if you were to view it from another angle... I think they too knew that well fact that in the end of one's life, it's not the house, it's not your job or you're possessions that you can bring, it's just your soul in the end... kinda reminds us of the days of Acts huh?? When the believers sold off all their possessions and gave it all to the church, so it would be just themselves, and God alone...
Other than judging them.... well I guess there's still a few thing or two we can learn from them as Christians... don't take you're life for granted, the rapture can happen any moment, and at the moment you're least expected... if there's anyone to blame it would be that old man... we should hunt him down!!
Ahh well.... in the future many would come saying stuff like this... but as a personal person, always relate to the Bible, and find the truth there yourself before believing in the worlds of a common man~~~
Of course I could imagine the embarrassment the Christians are getting as some people are having a party on the 22nd May just to make fun of us... ahh... I don't know but even though this has nothing to do to be as a person, but as a Christian I would want to apologize to those who were cheated and mislead by such lies that came from those who called themselves "Christians".. well... there's always some good, and there's always some bad I guess...... but in the end we still come to ask ourselves one question...
What are you doing with your life today??
either way... God bless you all... every one of you =)
