End of the world?

Howdy everyone for week 5 which if you look at the title of the blog i'm sure you will figure out what this weeks is about.


As we know the end of the world came on Saturday at 6pm. Only kidding obviously since we are all still here but none the less I was doing a look around to find that since I was born in 1993 the world has been predicted to end so far 8-10 times, with another 1 this year and 2 next year, the most famous of course being 21 December.


This all got me thinking about the people who have said these predictions, and I noticed that most of them are religious and christian at that. 


However these people that claim such stupid and crazy ideas aren't to be trusted. The whole of Matthew 24:36 is saying “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
Basically what is being said here is obvious that only God knows, not even the son. God has planned the time in which the world will end and it will end when we do not expect it.


I am pretty certain that no one I send this blog out to actually believes that the world was going to end under human judgement but if you did then this message is for you, don't be worried if someone says this, don't sell your property and give money just because of this, I mean give yes, keep giving that is important but reading around I read this interesting quote "Mr. Camping said his company — which is a nonprofit — would also not return donations given by his followers in advance of the May 21 prediction. “We’re not at the end,” he said, “Why would we return it?”. So you see be careful, trusting 'false prophets' and 'false teachers' is dangerous. 


Jesus also says from Matthew 24:43-44 "But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." 


Matthew in this verse is saying that judgement will happen when we do not expect it, "like a thief at night". We are to be ready but when it says this it means be ready in the knowledge knowing this day was always going to come and to have put your faith in Christ because as the bible teachers time and time again, faith alone can save us.

Pretty short blog today but my message today is to not worry about supposed end of the world theories because they are lies, however be ready with your faith in Christ and knowledge that whenever the day comes you will be ready.


Keep praying and reading the bible as I will and a mini blog will be up soon so you can ask questions if you wish which i'll answer otherwise if you have none then there's quite a few upcoming events which I will keep you posted about.
