You can read it and decide for yourself! My purpose here is not to debate their prophesy because soon enough time will reveal the truth. For those of us now in the Body of Christ, we're always anticipating Christ's return as we try to live according to God's Will, so if Jesus is to return in a few weeks from this posting - Hallelujah !
Many of us have seen "End of the World" prophesies before along with many false prophets that claim to be the Christ or to have been given special dispensation from the Son of God. Heck, this has been going on for over the past 2,000 years. Even Holy Scripture warns us against false prophets.
"Dear friends, 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."
1 John 4:1
And just for clarification, I am not accusing Family Radio International of false prophesy - how would I know? But because they have resurrected the issue of Judgement Day, there are two scenarios that should be considered:
Scenario 1: They, Family Radio International, are right - May 21, 2011, is God's Judgement Day?
Scenario 2: They are wrong?
May 22, 2011, will reveal the truth.
Seriously though, if May 21st is Judgement Day:
ARE YOU READY
and if not
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Once again, and as always, the Bible shows us the way to salvation:
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Romans 10:13:
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
Ephesians 2:8
You see, even if Family Radio is wrong about May 21, 2011, eventually you will die! No one gets out of here alive! If not on May 21st, then when? No matter when or how we meet our demise, we will face our own individual Judgement Day, so the above questions are still pertinent - are you ready and if not, what are you doing about it?
Something else to consider about this Judgement Day prophesy. Repercussions! That is, if we all wake up on May 22nd, what will those that are not followers of Christ now say about Christianity? What about their expected accusations that the Holy Bible was and is wrong? Even now many atheist groups are planning Judgement Day parties in direct opposition to the Family Radio's message, and although Family Radio has a fall-back position, it appears to me that the Body of Christ would have been better served if we just continued proclaiming God's Word without putting a "drop-dead" date on it. Yes, I know that God is bigger than all of this and He can overcome any and all of our dilemmas, even if our intentions were good. Thank You God!
So where do we go from here - both literally and figuratively? Because God gave us "free will" we get to decide exactly where we go from here. We just don't get to know or decide WHEN!
Hey, if we are still around after all of this, maybe we can talk about the Mayan calendar next - ha!
