I’m Still Here!
Yes, I am still here! That news may mean different things to different people and will no doubt be met with varying emotional responses. My point is simple: The Mayan’s were wrong and the world continues.
This blog will not be long, but it will be stern, especially for Christians.
Fess up. Who thought the Mayan’s were right? Who was really good yesterday, trying to make up for past failures?
I am particularly perturbed by the number of Christians that get sucked into these apocalyptic delusions and indeed propagate them. Brethren, Scripture is very clear. When will we believe Scripture over fallen deluded men?
Jesus, speaking of the end of the world, said:
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”
Note two things. Jesus first proclaims the surety of His word. As God’s true prophet, His word will never fail. Second, Jesus then says that no human or angel knows the day, but the Father alone! No man. No angel. Thus, any man who says he knows when the world is ending is deluded. At best, seen in the most positive light, he is guessing in the dark. Every other possibility from there on is from the pit! Equally, no angel knows. Thus, if you have an angelic encounter and during the conversation said angel lets the date of Christ’s coming slip, rebuke that being in Jesus Christ, for it is the demonic masquerading as light. The angels do not know, therefore their tongues cannot slip!
Prior to these words of Jesus just mentioned, Jesus had already warned people about not being fooled by those who claimed that Jesus was here or there. The Apostle John (1 John 2:18) says:
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour.
He then adds (1 John 4:1):
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
The Apostle Paul (Acts 20:28-30), speaking to the Ephesian elders, says:
“Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. “I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.”
When all these texts are pulled together, without using Numerology or the Divinci Code, or the now highly embarrassed Mayan high priest, they spell: DO NOT BE DUPED BY THE FALSE BUT BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD THE LIVING WORD!
Friends and brethren, all that we need for an obedient, fulfilled, and fulfilling life in Christ Jesus will be found in Holy Scripture. The Bible is but Jesus Christ written! If we will not believe what Jesus tells us of Himself through Scripture, messages from angels, demons, Mayans, tea leaves, or mediums, will prosper us nought.
The words of the Apostle Peter (John 6:68) – Please read them, understand them, and treasure them – Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.
