2012 – THE END IS NOT YET!

False Prophets Abound!

Well, well, well! 2012 is just another 2 days away!

It is interesting to note that many Christians have been asking me what I think about the 2012 and the end of the world. “There is even an exciting movie about the end on 2012! What do you think?”

Why bother even to ask, unless you are fearful of these predictions, I say.  Did not the Lord say of the “Mar 13:32  But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”,  and Acts 1:7 “ It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. "  But ask they did, half-believing and half-unbelieving; and that can only happen because their own teachers and leaders have failed to teach them properly, which is something I always lament.

You Have Been Fore-warned

The world is full of false prophets and false teachers ……. even false Christs. Did not the bible warn us of them?  I have always emphasized bible reading and believing, and am always against Christian books reading.  When one reads the bible with a simple believing mind and heart, one gets clear answers from God.  But instead of reading bibles, Christians are fond of reading and believing books, which tells you somebody’s opinion of what the bible means.  And authors are driven by their desire for profits from high sales volume, not the truth.  And sensation sells.  Fear sells.  They are not interested in telling you the truth.  They just want your $$$$.  So too, the tele-evangelists!

Is It So Easy To Be A Prophet of God?

Deu 18:22 says: When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.  This so clearly tells us that a true prophet will never miss.  If he misses just once, he has not spoken for the Lord.  It is truly difficult to be a true prophet.  Imagine, 999 true predictions and one miss makes you a false prophet!  So, forget about all the books, the Mayan calendar researchers and the NASA information and Planet X and Nabiru doomsayers.  Nothing comes anywhere near what the bible tells you.

The Latest (rich) Fool

The last one in the long line of false prophets who became an embarrassment to himself ( for a short while at least, before they start all over again ) was Harold Camping, a 90 year-old radio

False prophecies make good business. 

 preacher who had predicted that the end would come on 21^st May 2011, publicized with over 6000 highway billboards, vehicle broadsides, banners and over the radio.  Thousands ( of silly Americans ) believed him and helped him to publicize it in street walks and processions.  Nothing happened on that day.  The shameless aged “experienced” preacher Harold Camping revised it to Oct 21^st, 2011.  Again, thousands of foolish Christians continued to believe in his revised date.  Well, we are still here and Harold Camping has disappeared ( with much $$$, I supposed ) , and those foolish Christians sheepishly went on with their daily lives ( do you ever wonder why Jesus call Christians "sheep" and not rabbits or ducks?).

The Next (rich) Fool : Jack Van Impe

The next prediction for the end of the world is on 21^st Dec, 2012 ( watch and listen at 2:51 minutes here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4zclBbXusxo#! )

Are you his follower?

 and that prediction is by the 82 year-old tele-evangelist Jack Van Impe, purportedly “the walking bible”, who will be confirmed a fool on that day.  Truly, experience does not make a man wiser.  Obedience to and fear of God do.  And I don’t care much for walking bibles or people who memorize the bible, or who read the bible without believing.   Jack Van Impe will be shown a fool, but he will be a rich fool because of greater fools who believe him and buy his books.

So, the usual evil perpetuated by evil doers will happen around the world in 2012.  The labour pains of earthquakes, pestilences, wars and rumors of wars shall happen, but of these, the Lord says “be ye not troubled”.  Be watchful for the real signs: which are things like the sun darkening and the moon not giving out light, the revealing of the name of the Antichrist and the mark of the beast, for you are children of the day and of the light that the Lord SHALL NOT come upon you like a thief in the night.  Until these real signs are revealed, the Lord shall not come, and if the Lord does not come, the end is not yet.  Beware of any “christ” who comes before that, lest you follow another christ.

A Few of the Past Record of Failed Predictions

Some of these names might surprise you.

1794: Charles Wesley ( surprise!) , one of the founders of Methodism, thought that Doomsday would occur in this year.

1832 Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church ( a cult ) said, "I prophesy in the name of the Lord God, and let it be written--the Son of Man will not come in the clouds of heaven till I am eighty-five years old.", which is 1890.

1843-MAR-21: William Miller, founder of the Millerite movement, the predecessors of the 7^th Day Adventist church ( a cult ).  When it did not happen, he gave another date, 1844-OCT-22:

1850: Ellen G. White, founder of the Seven Day Adventists predicted on Jun 27^th 1850 “My accompanying angel said, 'Time is almost finished. Get ready, get ready, get ready.' ...now time is almost finished...and what we have been years learning, they will have to learn in a few months."

1874, 1878, 1881, 1910, 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975, 1984 and 1994.  The champion of failed prophecies is the Jehovah Witness movement operating under the name of the Watchtower Organization.  They will never learn.

1981 Hal Lindsay, the author of that famous book and movie “Left Behind” said the rapture would occur before Dec. 31, 1981.

Con-men prey on foolish Christians

Oct 28, 1992 Lee Jang Rim predicted the end would come.  Incidentally he made 4.4 million dollars out of his 10,000 followers over this prediction, which he put into stocks and bonds which matured after his doomsday date.  He was jailed for it.

So, do you believe the bible or do you want to believe books, movies and preachers?

Jesus says in John 8:32, "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."
