First it was Y2K in the last decade. Now, it's tomorrow May 21, 2011. This guy, Harold Camping, is saying that it'll be at 1800 hours. An earthquake will start at the International Dateline and travel around the world causing massive destruction. What time zone is that going to start in, GMT, Eastern, Central Pacific, Hawaii, Chamorro...?
I've read a lot of messages, emails, posts, about this event. Camping is using mathematical equations to determine the "Judgement Day", based on Noah's Ark landfall.
The Holy Bible States in the Book of Matthew (I'm using the NIV translation);
Matthew 24:36 [ The Day and Hour Unknown ] “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
In the Book of Mark it states;
Mark 13:32 [ The Day and Hour Unknown ] “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Then there is the Mayan Calendar which believes the world will end on December 23, 2012. Then you have the Messianic Christians who claim it's Sabbatical year, 2015. They give the date September 29, 2015 to be exact.
All these End of Times prophesies have been going on since Jesus Christ ascended to heaven. I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to live my life as much as possible to the Christian Lifestyle standard that I can, and leave it at that. No one knows the day or the hour. God will call us home when it is our time.
What happens when Camping wakes up Sunday morning in his RV? Is he and many of his followers going to think that they were Left Behind?
I'll let you all know what happens here on the island. Since We're "Where America's Day Begins". I'll post what happens at 1800 Chamorro Standard Time (GMT +10).
ESTA.
