It's December 1, 2012, 20 Days to Rapture or Doomsday?

I could not forget how the whole mayhem behind the idea that the world will end (or in some cases, as absurd as it is the Rapture) will happen in December 21, 2012 which was also a date that Harold Camping had considered aside from May 21 and October 21 of 2011 - man he did love that number! Sad to say despite the demise of the false prophet, his awful lie of December 21, 2012 didn't die with him (or the Mayans) and the Mayans didn't even predict the end of their civilization. Some Christians who don't do their homework may have already began comforting one another with the words that Paul told the Thessalonians to encourage each other in 1 Thessalonians 4 about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. However what is most often forgotten is this verse... Matthew 24:36 says that no man knows but the Father only so that INCLUDES THE MAYANS.

Jesus was clear that nobody will know when the Rapture or the end of the world will be. Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, the angel told the Apostles in Acts 1:7 that it was not for them to know the times or dates. So seriously, how can the end of the Mayan Calendar EVEN predict the coming of Christ much more the world will end if as said, no man can know that INCLUDES THE MAYANS?! Because people don't read their Bible, they are making different assumptions how the world will end. I've read "Will the World End in 2012" and the ideas are ranging from silly to absurd like Planet X colliding with Earth, a meteor, Jellystone park volcano or that incredibly stupid 2012 movie proves living like there's no God makes you a fool.

In fact, for one the Rapture has not yet even hit how can the world end in God's calendar? Or for some, trying to determine the Rapture date with the Mayan Calendar because of the interesting fact that the end of the cycle is considered to be a time of great celebration (Rapture?). Again, Jesus the Son will return when the Father says so! I cannot even say when the Lord Jesus will return to claim His saints, it might be next year, next next year but one thing is certain- I can guarantee you the signs of the times are showing like growing wickedness, false messiahs claiming to be Christ, wars and rumors of wars, economic turmoil, the New Roman Empire (European Union), China having an entire army that could be ready for Armageddon (fortunately there are Chinese Christians who will not be part of that huge army!), global warming as a sign of God's wrath that the sun will scorch so hot soon at the end of the Great Tribulation, Israel getting ready to build a new Jewish Temple (sorry Pastor Ruben Lumagbas Jr. could not provide pictures as no picture taking was allowed) or this one, the soulwinning charter has increased. Who would have thought for example that Bible Baptist Church while starting as just a small congregation has become a mega-church in the sense that it has birthed several other independent fundamental Baptist churches.

Okay now please DO read the Book of Revelation to understand HOW the world will end in God's timetable. I'm just confident by every means that ANY stupid doomsday prophecies may backfire at all those false prophets that God has warned us about to NEVER heed to their awful stupidity! All I can say is, the world in itself is one big insane asylum, prophecies are fulfilling at every turn and it's only a matter of time before the end of the Church Age comes.

It may be only a matter of time though that the man of sin the Antichrist will be around the corner. He will rise up from the European Union. Though the Reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin believed that the final Pope will be the Antichrist, I believe that person may most likely become the False Prophet to endorse the worship of "another Jesus". Fortunately the Christians will be gone by the time the Antichrist enters into power. I am really thinking of this disturbing prophecy about Peter the Roman who is said to be the final Pope who is said will become Pope Peter II (seriously there wasn't even a Pope Peter I!!!!):

"And the Pope shall return the "Keys of the Kingdom" to Christ at his return."

(During the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, the seat will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed his sheep in many tribulations; and when these things are finished, the seven-hilled city will be destroyed, and the terrible Judge will judge his people. The End.)

It just interests me to think of these words "many tribulations", "seven-hilled city will be destroyed" and "the terrible Judge". Did God intervene with Malachy and actually like Balaam, give him the vision of the future? I seriously may think so or I could be wrong. As said, I am just a simple man God is using in this ministry, not somebody who can see through the future. So this statement from the Malachy prophecies would mean this- the destruction of the Great Whore of Revelation. So giving the keys back to "Christ" at his return, could it be that the next Pope will be the False Prophet that will endorse people to worship the Beast? We have to careful though to assume that Benedict XVI will be the False Prophet considering he's already 84 years old (but somehow in a far better state than his predecessor the late John Paul II) and I cannot assume either that his next successor will the the final Pope.

Closing note:

All I can say is IF the Rapture does happen this December 21, 2012 and YOU are left behind, remember the coming of the Antichrist will be VERY SOON after the Rapture. He will definitely be revealed and Satan begins his seven year reign on Earth. The time will come when the world will submit itself to the One World Ruler, the Antichrist. He will definitely be backed up by a wonder worker known as the False Prophet who I assume that the last and final Pope will endorse this world leader as the Messiah. By that time, all world religions have become one under the Great Whore. Remember DO NOT take the Mark of the Beast as it will forever seal you to Satan and salvation becomes hopeless for these people when they do- it's given to those people who have once and for all decided to reject the Lord Jesus Christ. One must remember also that until you bow down and worship the Beast, they will not give you your mark. The only way to REFUSE the mark which will help you survive the Tribulation is to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. Please click on the salvation page to know how you can be saved.
