Mayan Calendar vs. God's Calendar

If you believe the Mayans, time is running out! The Mayan calendar predicts the world will end on Dec. 21. Hey, that's next week! Shouldn't we all be panicked right now? No, don't worry, it's not the Mayan calendar we should be concerned about, It's God's calendar that matters.

If the Mayans are right, we won't be around anyway. If they're wrong, it's just one more miscalculation in a manmade prediction.

Remember Harold Camping who predicted the world would end last year — on Oct. 21? He spent $140,000 to put up billboards across the country, warning people to "Save The Date." He said Jesus would return May 21, 2011, and that the world would end five months later on Oct. 21. But he was wrong. Camping previously claimed the world would end in September 1994. He was wrong then, too.

The prophets in the Bible never set dates for the end of the world. Actually, the Bible says the world will never end. It will be remade by holy fire.

 

In 2 Peter 3:12-13, it says, "as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming, that day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth."

 

When talking about the time of His return to earth while He was still here in the flesh, Jesus said, "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matthew 24:36).

 

Jesus gave this warning to all people, urging them to be spiritually prepared for His sudden return. “Therefore keep watch because you do not know the day or the hour." (Matt. 25:13).

 

Christ’s coming for believers in the rapture is imminent. It can happen at any moment. No calendar — Mayan or otherwise — can predict that glorious event. Jesus IS coming soon!   Be prepared!
