The World Isn't Ending Tomorrow
May. 20th, 2011 10:46 amHate to break it to anyone who actually believes that tomorrow the Rapture happens and the world starts to end. First off, there is no scriptural evidence a Rapture will happen. None. Second, there are several New Testament verses that state that not even the angels in heaven know when the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is. Only God himself knows.
That doesn't mean that I don't think that the end is coming soon. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I know that it's coming. Just because it takes a while on Earth doesn't mean it's not soon for God.
I don't, however, believe that God left clues in the Bible that calculate an exact date for Christ's Second Coming. Not only does that go against scripture, it also goes against common sense. Why would God tell everyone the exact date of Judgement Day? Everyone would wait until the last minute to repent, and that is not the ideal way to die. We are not only judged by our intentions, but by our actions as well. That's why we need to live every day like it's the last.
I'd probably be laughing my butt off at these people if it wasn't so sad that they were easily decieved.
