As we learned in hindsight,
all the hype preceding December 21, 2012 amounted to NOTHING! From
everything we had read, it seemed as though 2012 was going to be a crazy year, if the Lord tarried His
return. But it was a normal year. May I say, as Christians we ought not get caught up in the euphoria
and panic generated by date setters! The best thing you can do is to seek those
things which are above...
Colossians 3:1, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”
The highly publicized 2012 doomsday scenario was of this world. The Bible teaches that no man knoweth the time of the Lord's return...
Mark 13:33, “Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.”
There will not be a doomsday prior to the Rapture. The Battle of Armageddon will occur at the time of the Second Coming of Christ (the Lord is going to clean house). The Second Coming of Christ happens 7-years after the Rapture, at the end of the Tribulation period. The Lord will defeat the Antichrist and the False Prophet, and then set up His kingdom to reign literally from Jerusalem for 1,000 years. Armageddon is considered by many to be doomsday, that is, the end of the world as we have known it. Satan will be bound and cast into the bottomless pit for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:2). Is The Rapture Before, During Or After The Tribulation? (Bible answers by Dr. Max D. Younce).
Evangelist Robert Breaker foolishly made strong likely predictions that Jesus Christ would return on September 23, 2017. Not surprisingly, Mr. Breaker was WRONG! Now he's at it again, predicting the Lord's return on September 23, 2018. Folks, stay away from such false prophets!!! No one knows the exact date or time when the Lord will return. We are beholding signs of the coming Tribulation today, but this is vague at best. NO ONE knows the timing of the Lord's return. Here's a great 2-part MP3 sermon by Pastor Ralph “Yankee” Arnold called, Signs Of The Tribulation | Part Two.
We know according to the Bible that an asteroid will strike the earth during the Tribulation period, which will contaminate one-third of the earth's waters and kill many of the population (Revelation 8:11). NASA, through the Hubble Space Telescope, discovers about 30 new asteroids in earth's near orbit every week. So far NASA has discovered 15,000 such asteroids which travel near to the earth's orbit. Contrary to popular films; such as, “Armageddon” and “Deep Impact” (about destructive meteorites striking the earth), no known weapon's system could stop an approaching asteroid from hitting the earth. An asteroid travels at an astonishing 12 miles per second (25,000 miles per hour!). A nuclear warhead simply could not stop such terrifying power! Truly, God is amazing!!!
God will kill another one-third of the earth's population during Tribulation with terrifying scorpion-like creatures from the Bottomless Pit (Revelation 9:18). The last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation are Biblically referred to as a time of Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21). It will be a woeful time of sorrow, immense suffering, war, and terrifying “acts of God” (in which He will pour out His fury upon the wicked). The Church (all born-again saints) will NOT go through the Tribulation period, we will be CAUGHT UP at the Rapture (1st Thessalonians 4:17; 1st Corinthians 15:52-57), but many people will get saved during the Tribulation period.
Before the Tribulation period can
begin, the
Rapture of all the saints must take place. It could be today! Amen. Philippians
3:20-21 teaches that our old vile bodies will be changed, and every
Christian believer will receive a new glorified body, fashioned like unto
Christ's immortal body. Amen for that! In sharp contrast, unbelievers will be cast
into the fires of Hell, forever and ever, to be punished in torments (Revelation 14:11).
Thank God Hillary Clinton Didn't Become President!
She's was once Secretary of State, a known lesbian and murderer, which at one time gave her more power than U.S. President.
Many people thought that Hilary was headed for the White House in 2016. We've seen much wickedness in the White House ever since President George H. Bush took office. He got rid of everyone in key positions and hired his own people, who were loyal to the New World Order. The Wall Street gang have hi-jacked The White House! It all began with Jimmy Carter, a total sell-out and a weak President. Bush Sr. was their real foot in the door. Sad to say, Hillary was more of a man than all of them combined, and praise God that she didn't become U.S. President. Criminals have hi-jacked the U.S. government and most citizens are too dumbed-down by the media, and gullible, to see the handwriting on the wall. We're going down as a nation! Please watch, A NATION IN PERIL.
News journalist Glenn Beck had predicted that Hillary would become U.S. President. Beck is a member of the Mormon sex-cult, a satanic religion rooted in the Jewish mysticism of Kabbalah. Truth is stranger than fiction!
The worst doomsday won't be December 21, 2012, it will be the inauguration of the next liberal Democrat President into the White House. The U.S. will continue to have more wicked Presidents. I am fully convinced that the Antichrist may appear as an American President. President Barack Obama wowed the world, having the creepy idolization of the masses, as if he might be the very Antichrist (which he is not). And of course, Mr. Obama was re-elected in 2012. The 2012 Presidential election was determined by the Presidential Electors on December 17, 2012. Talk about a weird coincidence... December 21, 2012 was just 4 days later!!!
Criminals have taken over our government. JFK was assassinated 10 days after warning the public that criminals were plotting to infiltrate the White House to destroy American's freedoms, and so it is today. Bush Sr., then Bill Clinton, then Bush Jr., then Obama, and now Donald Trump are keeping the criminal empire going. Don't fall for Mr. Trump's rhetoric, he is an elite insider, catering to Wall Street's interests. There has been a coup of the U.S. government. President Kennedy tried to warn us. The elite Bilderberg group decides who will be the next U.S. President. All modern U.S. Presidents are chosen, groomed and appointed at elite Bilderberg meetings. They must protect their interests.
The day that a lesbian dyke rules our nation will be the end of our country! Say goodbye to your children, your liberties, your guns, your healthcare, your national sovereignty, and expect to see same-sex marriage legalized by the Godless puppets on the Supreme Court. They're the Supreme Joke! Everything is so corrupt today. Who really controls our nation?
If you haven't figured it out yet, the way that Communists (a vehicle of the globalists) are destroying our nation is INCREMENTALLY. First the states vote to legalize same-sex marriages one at a time. Then when most states have jumped on the bandwagon, then the federal government makes it federal law. The federal government has no business making laws to override the states. Each state ought to be sovereign and not have to answer to Big Brother. Big government always leads to big tyranny, big corruption and big abuse of power. Small government is the only good government. At the time of Roe vs. Wade that legalized abortion in 1973 at the federal level, 37 individual states had already legalized abortion. And so it will be with same-sex marriage. Only God knows what they'll legalize next.
With all the hype
that's been given to December 21, 2012 you can expect all sorts of weird
news, whacko cults and doomsday scenarios. It's going to be a world event,
followed carefully by the newsmedia and the television networks. A lot of
people are going to exploit the prediction of doomsday 2012 to make lots of
money. It is sad. Already there are over one million webpages concerning
2012 doomsday. There will be NO doomsday! The global elite may
blow something up, or orchestrate another false-flag terror strike like the
9/11 attacks or the
Golf of Tonkin, but whatever happens will be manmade to deceive the
masses.
Woeful Times Ahead for the United States!
I hear some people pushing the sale of gold and silver, survival items, guns and ammunition, storable food, and just about everything you'd need for Armageddon. However, I never hear anyone talking about eternity and the need for Jesus Christ. Nothing else will matter if you perish in your sins without Christ. The year 2012 has no significance in the Scriptures, but it does for the Age of Aquarius. December 21, 2012 was be a significant event for astrologers and occultists worldwide. Some people believe that the Antichrist was be born in 2012. Of course, these are mere speculations of the heathen world.
Certainly, bad times are ahead for the world. Marshal law is coming to America. The New World Order (NWO) is already here. The NWO is a centuries old generational plan to bring to fruition a Godless Global Totalitarian Communist Police State. It will be a world government, where a small group of esoteric elite will control the whole world. Remember, Satan is the god of this world according to the Holy Bible (2nd Corinthians 4:4). The Devil controls the nations of the world by manipulating economics (thuggery, blackmail, extortion, shady lending practices, intimidation, fraud, threats, wars and fake banking systems). Through war, population reduction programs (using GM foods and vaccines to sterilize third world women), birth control, sterilization and abortion, the population is going to be drastically reduced by about 90% if the elite have their way. The George Guidestones outline their diabolic plan for humanity.
Again, I do not claim to have any special insight nor information. I just look at world news from a biblical perspective and then form my opinions. I believe Americans will be MUCH poorer long before 2050. There will be war in the Middle East long before 2050, starting with Iran, and will draw the nations of the world into the conflict. Gas prices will skyrocket to $7 or $8 per gallon. The U.S. dollar will eventually collapse. Gold prices will soar (gold is presently near $1700.00 per ounce as of July 30, 2011... the highest price ever!). I don't buy nor own gold, but if you are an investor, gold is the place to be, so I've heard. I'm only concerned about laying up treasures in Heaven as Jesus taught in Matthew 6:19-20. That's all that matters to me! You can have all the gold in the world. 1st Peter 1:7 teaches that the trial of our faith is worth MUCH MORE than gold. That's right, our problems in life are more valuable than gold, because they drive us closer to God if our heart is right. Good To Be Afflicted (MP3 by Dr. Jack Hyles, “Whatever problems you have, use it to glorify God!”).
Nearly everyone in America will work either directly or indirectly for the government. At present, 41,200,000 Americans are receiving Food Stamps in 2016! The unemployment rate is at 21.5% nationwide! (Keep in mind that when you've been unemployed for 6 months, the government no longer considers you “unemployed.” So the statistics are not accurate, on purpose no doubt.) America is going to economically implode. America's churches, all 501c3 businesses since the 1950's, will all bow to the government in blind submission. Sadly, the American public is foolish and gullible, and the elite know it. We've bought hook, line and sinker into everything the elite have throw at us. They're laughing at us. It must be remembered that God “removeth kings, and setteth up kings” (Daniel 2:21). Every U.S. President has been sanctioned by God Himself, giving us the leaders we deserve!
If Christians would obey 2nd chronicles 7:14 by humbling themselves in prayer, turning from our wicked ways, and seeking God face of approval, He would restore our nation. 2nd Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” God always honors repentance, whether it be a man, a home, a church or a nation. God will not bless a rebellious house! God will not bless a society that murders it's children through ungodly abortion, permits public nudity, sanctions homosexuality and even allows them (God forbid) to adopt precious children. God's curse is upon the United States!!! No Sir, God won't bless America, nor should He until we repent!!! DOOMSDAY IS COMING!!! Man's pride will bring him low, just as it did Zedekiah and Judah in Jeremiah, when God raised up Babylon against Israel to judge them! God could just as easily raise up China against the United States!!!
But the whole matter goes much deeper than a failed prophecy in 2012.
The 2012 scare was just another big diversion to keep our minds preoccupied
with anything but THE TRUTH. It is important that believers remember that
everything happening in the world today is all geared towards the
development of a New World Order, i.e., a Godless Global Totalitarian
Communist Police State which will usher in the reign of the man of sin, the
Antichrist. It will be Satan's finest hour, when the hordes of humanity will
follow and worship Satan's man of sin (2nd Thessalonians 2:10). This is why we
see so many people nowadays flashing the
Satanic hand-sign, already worshipping the Beast. Some of them know what it means, but most do not.
They are expressing their allegiance to the Prince of Darkness, Lucifer, the
Beast, the Dragon, the
Devil himself.
Forget the Gold and Silver, You Need Jesus Christ!
The best thing that you or anyone else can do to prepare for doomsday is to make sure that we have been genuinely born-again, and are ready to meet your Maker. The Bible calls doomsday, Armageddon. According to 1st Thessalonians 4:17, Christians will be caught up (raptured) before the Tribulation Period begins. The first 3 1/2 years will be a time of peace. The Bible teaches that the Antichrist by peace shall destroy many (Daniel 8:25). That is very interesting. The world will be deceived by the Antichrist (2nd Thessalonians 2:10-11).
Don't be fooled by all the false teaching of a Postribulation Rapture (which is really no Rapture at all). It makes no sense that Jesus would catch away the saints, at the same time He is returning to the earth. That's like pushing and pulling a door at the same time. 1st Thessalonians 4:17 plainly teaches that the saints will be 'CAUGHT UP' (the Rapture). Matthew 24 speaks of the tares being separated from the wheat, which the Lord explains in Matthew 25:32-33, “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.” Please note that this is NOT the Rapture; but rather, a gathering of the nations as prophesied in the Scriptures.
It is possible that many of us (if not all of us) will die before the Rapture. The Bible does not tell us when Christ will return. I do sincerely believe that it will be very soon, but I do not know. God has an appointed time for the Lord's return. We could die of a sudden heart-attack by sundown (Proverb 27:1). We do not know when the Lord will return, but we do know that death could come at any moment. If you die in your sins, it will be your DOOMSDAY!!! If you knowingly reject Christ and the Rapture happens, God will send you strong delusion for rejecting Christ and you will be totally deceived by the Antichrist (2nd Thessalonians 2:11).
There will be many people saved during the Tribulation, who did not hear the Gospel before the Rapture. In his booklet, The Rapture of the Church, pages 16-17, Dr. Curtis Hutson states:
“Now keep in mind that, according to statistics, 75 percent of the people of the world have never heard a clear presentation of the Gospel. A missionary recently said, '137 people die every second, and 122 of them have never heard the Gospel.' There are multiplied millions around the world who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ. If the rapture should occur today, these precious souls would have an opportunity to be saved after the rapture of the church. And the 144,000 missionaries described in Revelation 7 and 14 will be like 144,000 Apostle Pauls, circling the globe and preaching the Gospel.”
Most churchgoers are NOT saved. Jesus said in Luke 13:24 that “many” will seek to enter Heaven, but only a “few” will able to do so. They have religion (self-righteousness), but they don't have the righteousness of God, which is through faith alone in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:3-4; Philippians 3:9). They have churchianity without Christianity (just as the fools in Matthew 7:21-23). You had better come to Jesus, believing that He is the Christ, the Son of God, Who came into the world to pay for your sins and mine. Christ DIED, He was BURIED, and He bodily RESURRECTED from the dead the third day. If you'll simply take God at His Word and place your complete trust (confidence) in these facts of THE GOSPEL, you'll be saved immediately, securely, irrevocably and eternally!!!
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” —2nd Thessalonians 2:8-10
