Is Judgement Day Tommorrow?
Friday, May 20th, 2011
Will tomorrow, May 21 2011, be Judgement Day? According to Oakland, California-based Biblical scholar Harold Camping , it is. This date has been a hot button for discussion for the past couple of weeks. People have spent their life savings, left their families and given up their jobs to spread the message. On different websites and message boards, people have cursed this date and made jokes.
Do I believe tomorrow is judgement Day. I don’t know, only God knows. But, whatever happens after May 21, 2011, a lot of lives will be changed. Whenever that day is, I pray that you and I are ready. Until that time, I leave you with God’s beautiful words from Mark 13: 35-37.
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
