The End Times

The End Times

"First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires."
2nd Peter 3:3

There has been much media coverage recently about people saying that the end of the world will happen in 2012, and even a book was written giving the exact date. The ancient Mayan calendar even told about the last days, and predicted the end of the world. It is common to see people on street corners today holding signs saying the end is near. During the turn of the 20th century many believed the end was coming, to the point that they stockpiled supplies to wait out the Apocalypse. Back in 1844 a Baptist preacher named William Miller used the prophecies in the Book of Daniel to calculate that the Lord would return in 1844. As a result thousands gave away all their possessions and stood looking into the sky. Some of the earliest predictions can be traced back to 60 AD, and since then over 100 other such predictions have failed. Many are saying that the recent earthquakes, tsunamis, solar flares, the corrupt governments, the rise in power of cults, and the overall state of the world are signs that Christ will be coming soon. No one knows when Jesus will return again, but it is true that most of the prophesies given in the Bible are now being fulfilled, and that the end times are now upon us. Although we do not know the time or the hour that Jesus will return, I would encourage each of you to be ready when He does return to claim His children. Once God does descend down from Heaven, it will be too late to change your ways, and too late to ask Him into your heart, and accept Him as your Savior. Don't put off any longer asking Jesus into your heart. It's not too late, today, but tomorrow it may be.
