Man’s Final Day—December 21, 2012

Will 2012 be the year of the apocalypse?  Many have speculated that the Mayan calendar date of December 21, 2012 is civilization’s climatic doomsday. I have serious doubts about the December date but what do I know.  Maybe they had advanced knowledge of the American Presidential election or some Hollywood divorce tragedy. Who knows for sure?

In all seriousness, however, an anonymous source told me the Mayan stonemason that was chiseling the calendar simply ran out of room on his stone for additional years or perhaps his “religious” leader may have thought 2012 was far enough out in the future. Again, who knows for sure? For additional information, Google Mayan calendar at Wikipedia, if you have an interest in the “science” behind the calendar.

If you are really concerned about the end of time the answer can be found in the Biblical scriptures. Cataclysmic events are prophesied for the earth at the time of Jesus Christ’s second coming and again at the end of the millennium.  Biblical Christians already know where they will be spending eternity so doomsday events are not a worry. 

I do not know about the fate of non-Biblical Christians other than what  is written in the Bible; Bible prophesies reveal that they will be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire and there burn for eternity (Revelation 20:11-15). While many Christians and non-Christians are quick to accept the physical dimensions of life and the brazen words of humanist and the likes, they are also quick to dismiss the spiritual dimensions as just fables, not worthy of consideration, of weak old men and women.  It is too bad their shortsightedness will cost them their very soul and spirit for eternity.

Believe what you like and continue in your merriment as followers of those who seek the godless pleasures of life or step out in faith and believe what the Spirit of God will reveal to you if you will only believe and accept His grace and forgiveness.  Accept God’s Truth and the shackles of blindness will be removed from your eyes.  As Jesus said, “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free,” John 8:32 NIV.

Once you have tasted the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control—Galatians 5:22 NIV) and truly understand the Holy Spirit’s revealing of the Word of God in your life (the Holy Bible), you’ll never look back to man’s humanistic, fleshly and immoral ways.

Let this New Year be a new beginning for you by accepting Jesus Christ as your friend and redeemer.  May God bless you and your loved ones in the days to come.
