So now it's May 23, and we're all still alive. Hmm...
Supposedly on Saturday we were supposed to have been taken up into Heaven, earthquakes were supposed to caused lots of destruction, and disaster was supposed to be all over. But it didn't happen. And the sad thing is, people are now blaming this on Christians in general.
Uhh...where does it say that? I thought that it said that "but about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." And now people are claiming to have a SET DAY and a SET TIME that the world will end? Do I believe it? Definitely not. And since nothing happened, I feel bad for those people that sold everything and stuff, because they thought that the end of the world was coming.
So now I've heard that there's a new prediction from some people: October 21, 2011. Supposedly that would be because only some people were taken up on Saturday, and the world will actually end in October. Hmm...sorry, guys. Don't believe the Bible says that anywhere. In fact, I was inclined to think that it said that no one knows when it'll end...
So we'll just have to wait here God until HE--not anyone else--decides that it's time for the world to end. And in the meantime, we can do what we were made for. We can glorify Him. ;)

EXACTLY! Matthew 24:36!! My teacher overheard me and my friend talking about the "rapture" and I had said that "the BIble says that there will be angels and blaring of trumpets." My teacher said (in a somewhat superior voice), "Well, the Bible ALSO says that no man knows when the world will end." It sounded like she was implying that I didn't know that. So I just threw the citation at her: "Yes! Matthew 24:36!" And the look on her face....Oh! Golly. Hard part of being the only Catholic among many Protestants.
