Well, here we are again, another day, another prophecy. If you had not heard, David Wilkerson (think - the Cross and the Switchblade) is out with a very specific prediction of calamity, especially up in my neck of the woods. See it here. I think I agree wholeheartedly with Dr. John Piper's response. What is it with our modern day movement and the lunacy over end-times? I see people SO obsessed with this stuff, and not in a productive way!!! Regardless of your view on Eschatology (mine has changed alot!) isn't it getting old to be continually embarrassed by our own false prophets? Pull out your copy of "88 reasons the rapture will be in 1988" if you're not sure what I'm talking about! (Actually you might want to sell it on the internet as they're fetching a king's ransom!) Or maybe you could clean out your basement from all of the MRE's and water cannisters set aside for Y2k. Seriously, we gotta do a movie that combines the hippies from "Thief in the night" with Kirk Cameron and Mr. T. Now that would be the end-times movie to end all end-times movies! Honestly, can we really make fun of the Jehovah Witnesses' prophecies and failures? Even so Lord Jesus, come quickly, and spare us any more of this lunacy! In all seriousness, I do believe that God's judgement is being seen in our country and around the world! The response from His people ought to be to seek Him and His kingdom, not to work ourselves up into a frenzy. Some hard times will be good for us!
Hidden in Him!

Yeah, my gramma informed me that Jesus would be returning December 21, 2012, I believe it was. I'll be sure to "mark my calendar."
This past weekend I had the opportunity to watch a video put out by Jack Van Impe two years ago about the end of the age happening on Dec. 21, 2012. It was absolutely amazing. I wasn't prepared for the level of hype and end times hysteria coupled with a poor respect for God's Word. It was scary actually. I was able to discuss this with my grandfather (who wanted my brother, who happened to be in town, and myself to watch it) and explain my incredibly strong reservations to such teaching.
Sorry, this is a bit off topic, but it applies to end times madness. How many other empires and nations fell or had financial difficulty, and it wasn't the end?
Good to see you guys posting again.
