Judgment Day May 21st

Earlier today one of my students facebooked me and asked this question:

Hey Pastor Adam do you believe what some christians are saying about the bible and how it say that only the true believers know the time jesus is coming to take us back and do you think may 21 is that time?

My Answer:

No, I do not believe that only the true believers know the time Jesus is coming to take us back. Matthew 24:36 says “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Only God knows when He is going to return to take all of us with him. Head over to http://adammclane.com/2011/05/15/billboards-false-prophets/ This pastor has a good article about your question.

I do want you to know that the whole "judgement day May 21, 2010" thing is nothing more than a pastor trying to sell his book and scare people into heaven. HE IS OUT OF LINE AND OUT OF GODS WILL IN SAYING AND DOING WHAT HE IS DOING. In fact, if you go to his website he also says that the only way to get to have a secured spot in heaven is to buy his book and pay him money. Sadly, this pastor is doing the work of the devil and trying to scare people so that he gets richer.

These kind of things happen about 2 times each decade. Look at the past 10 years: At midnight on December 31 2000 the world was suppose to end; again in 2006 when the Ancient Chines Calendar ended the world was suppose to end as well; Now May 21, 2010 is suppose to be judgement day; and 2012 the world is suppose to end because the ancient mayan calendar ends. All these things are just rumors and scare tactics.

Just remember what Matthew 24:36 says. No one knows the day or the time that Jesus is going to return. All we know in reference to Jesus return is that it will happen someday and when he does, He will come like a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:2). Therefore, nobody that has ever lived on earth, not even the angels in heaven, or satan or his demons in hell would ever know the correct time and date of Jesus return.

The important thing to take away from this is that you need to be secure enough in your own relationship with Jesus that you know Jesus as your personal Lord God and Savior because it could happen any day.
