It's the End of the World as we Know it....

Really? Tonight at "supper time" Jesus is comin' back, y'all. I thought of a few good things about this:


1) I'm done with this diet/exercise crap. You think I am going to be fat in heaven? Heck no. So Jesus coming back just saves me the trouble.

2) I don't have to go to work or school ever again. Ever. Woop Woop! No more finals, pain-staking notes, time consuming reading, stupid essays. 

3) I heard there is a feast and a party when we get there.... I'm down.

4) I am pretty sure I will be way better at basketball... I will be able to dunk.

5) And whats this I hear about a mansion? Beats my old apartment.


Do I believe the world is ending tonight? Absolutely not. On a more serious note, the Bible is pretty darn clear about it. Matthew 24:36 says, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father". And Acts 1:7 states, "He said to them: 'It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority'". Obviously, when we all wake up safe in our beds tomorrow, we will know this Camping guy who made the prediction is wrong, especially when he is still here on Sunday. "But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord?’ If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared." Deuteronomy 18:21-22

So, not to worry friends. I will see you soon, here on the earth. But it would be nice if Jesus came back today. I have to play basketball tonight in front of a lot of people in my home town, and it will not be pretty. Can we make sure they have an ambulance handy for when my big butt passes out?
