"judgement day"?

autumn wren

So now people are saying that the world will end on Saturday...has anyone else heard this? Do you think this person is crazy? Does it freak you out? The thought bothers me...

I feel like the world is supposed to end every other month.

The guy claiming all of this owns several radio networks and has, apparently, claimed the same thing back in 1994 and sometime around 2000.

Interestingly enough, I'm doing this "New Thru 30" reading plan in the bible (New Testament in 30 days) and when I heard about this for the first time a couple of days ago, I was scheduled to read through the first few chapters of the book of Matthew that same night. I bookmarked a few things that really stood out to me based on these Judgement Day claims:

 

Matthew 24:3 NLT - Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, ?Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world??

 

Matthew 24:36 NLT

- ?However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.

 

Matthew 24:42 NLT

?So you, too, must keep watch! For you don?t know what day your Lord is coming.

 

Matthew 25:13 NLT

?So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.

 

 

 So, after reading that, I started freaking out less. I'm going with the "no one knows, so I'm not going to believe that guy" idea.

Pretty much what Linds said except I'm not freaked out at all. We don't know the hour, just the season. This guy is off his rocker. According to my IL's, some other dude said it was going to happen sometime in the 80s.

The sad thing is that people who don't understand that MOST Christians don't believe we know when it will happen will now think we are totally nuts. I know there was a post on MM mocking it a bit.

I totally agree with you Lindsay!

I've seen a couple people post it on FB.  I don't buy it.

I don't really have any idea about it but if alicia isn't freaked out, then I'm not . However, I do have a wedding all day Saturday so if I should make sure to be with my daughter at a certain time, please let me know

My sister's bachelorette party is Saturday so dealing with her b!tch friends will pretty much feel like judgment day anyway.

 

But seriously, I don't like to think about it.  I have a lot I want to do before the world ends so I hope it's not this Saturday.

Hmmm Hollywood says 2012, I am sticking with that one.

The wife of our preacher works in our building and I went to ask her if the world was ending.  She said, "Of course not!  No one knows when that will happen!"  She said that it's the belief of a fundamentalist group of people who call themselves Christians who believe that by thinking it's the end of the world, non-believers will want to believe so they are saved.

She personally thinks that when the world doesn't end on Saturday, this group (which she says is kind of like a cult) might do something similar to the Haley's Comet group.....

If the wife of my preacher is 100% confident that the world won't end, I'm placing my bet on the fact we'll still all be here on the 22nd

Nope, don't believe it. This guy has stated that the rapture was coming before, and of course was wrong. It's a crazy fundamentalist group trying to scare people into being saved. No one knows when the rapture will come, so no one can predict it!
