Did you hear about how today was supposed to be the end of the world?
A man named Harold Camping predicted that the rapture would happen today at 6pm and that there would be five months of torment to follow.
I'm just really kind of frustrated.
Obviously, he wasn't right...and NO human being can EVER know when Jesus will come back. But seriously, the world is watching, and what does this "say" now for Christians?
I was just reading some news articles online to see what they were saying and one of the articles pits Harold's beliefs on all "believers". He said something like, "the believers thought Jesus was coming back today and that the rest of us would remain here... no news on what the believers have to say now.. "
Ugh! That disgusts me. How you pin one man's belief on ALL Christians everywhere?
I'm so bothered because now I feel like people who aren't saved are saying "see! You're all wrong!" and it's like...going to push the "world" away from Jesus even more, as if they're not far enough already.
The other thing that I thought was absolute INSANITY is that this man, Harold Camping, (and his followers) spent $100 MILLION dollars to advertise that this day would be the rapture. They put billboards up everywhere, even in other countries, they handed out pamphlets, and even broadcast it on the radio. And well...now what?
1 Thess 5:2
2For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord will come [as unexpectedly and suddenly] as a thief in the night.
What do you think about all this?
I would love to hear others thoughts!!
