Today is the 21st May 2011, the day of the supposed "Rapture" as claimed by Harold Camping. The rapture is taken from 1 Thessalonians 4:17 where it says, ".. and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

Hmmm, you know... Thinking about this rapture and end of the world thing..... Doesn't it say somewhere in the Word of God that... Erm.... What was it again? Sounds familiar... Oh yeah.... I think it went something like... ... BUT ABOUT THAT DAY, NO ONE KNOWS, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN, NOR THE SON, BUT ONLY THE FATHER. ... the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him! (Matthew 24, Mark 13)

Its really sad to see how some people can focus on just one part of Scripture without looking at the entire thing. When Paul said, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" I really don't think he meant using the Bible as some means of predicting when the world will end, y'know? Who are we, as the pot that God Himself shapes, to act like Him and say when the end will come?

I've realised that a lot of people are NOT sure of their salvation. On Friday I was talking to a friend and he said, "Addmaths! Oh God... I feel like dying. I hope I die tomorrow." because his addmaths exam was on Saturday. So I asked him, "Hey, if you die, are you sure that you're going to go to Heaven?" and he just sort of paused and looked at me. "You know what.. I don't know.. I just really don't know." He's a Christian and goes to church faithfully, and he loves God. But he doesn't know if he's going to Heaven or not.

Another friend of mine really freaked out and got totally upset about the whole rapture thing on 21st May. He was so scared that he was going to die. It shows the insecurity of a person, because deep down inside every single person, no matter if they're Christian or not, they wonder. They wonder what will happen to them if they die. Even if they deny it and shake off the notion that there is a life after death, there is that one small inkling of a doubt - What if... there really is a Heaven and a Hell? ... Where will I spend eternity...? And it even happens among Christians! Christians who are not sure of their salvation and whether they are going Heaven or not after they die.. If you actually begin to ask around the people around you, you will realise that a lot of them simply are not sure of whether they are truly saved or going to Heaven or not. Its really, really, really sad.

John 5:24 “I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life."
