Prophets Prediction – False
Many false prophets will arise as the end time draws close. In the Books of Matthew, Mark and 2 Peter, the Bible warns the believers of Jesus Christ not to fall into the trap and be deceived by the false prophets who would claim themselves as the Messiah, yet lead many away from the truth.
Prophet Harold Camping predicted the Judgement Day would fall on the 21st May 2011. Guess what? The end of the world is here! And over!! Is he right? No! Another false prophet exposed. Who is this man who called himself a prophet?
Have You Heard Of This Prophet Harold Camping?
Over the years, Harold Egbert Camping made a couple of predictions in which he first claimed September 1994 was the Final Judgment Day. As we all know, that it did not turn out the way he predicted. Most recently, he was at it again predicting that May 21st 2011 would be the Final Judgment Day. Is the world truly coming to an end on the 21st of May 2011 as he claims again after his first prediction failed?
Today, I would attempt to offer some answers to this ordeal that many have keen interest in. I hope with the answers, you will have a better understanding of what is in store through the Biblical perspective. Do you enjoy a roller coaster ride? Ready or not, tighten your seat belt and here we go..

Is It Possible To Know When Jesus Would Come Again?
The Bible does mention about Jesus Christ’s return to the earth the second time. In the JesusIsComing.com it gives several Bible references to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Particularly in the Book of Matthew 24:36-39, the Bible says:
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”
Can we possibly know the exact day and hour, Jesus would return? The answer is No. The Bible mentions that not even Jesus Christ Himself knows except God the Father. Therefore in Matthew 24:42, the Bible says:
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”
However, the Bible also talks about the many signs of the end time which would give some warning and details of what to look for as the end draws near.
What Warning Are You Talking About?
Many false prophets will arise as the end time draws close. In the Books of Matthew, Mark and 2 Peter, the Bible warns the believers of Jesus Christ not to fall into the trap and be deceived by the false prophets who would claim themselves as the Messiah, yet lead many away from the truth.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” (Matthew 7:15-20)
“And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He’, and will deceive many.” (Mark 13:5-6)
“But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.” (2 Peter 2:1-2)

Signs Of The End Time
7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.
9 “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. 10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Mark 13:7-13)
From the video above, you will read some of the end time signs taken from the Bible. The best book to read in the Bible about End Time, is the Book of Revelation. As you read what’s about to take place, there will arise a sense of excitement and gradually excitement will turn to fear.. Do not be afraid. God will protect His people. Knowing the signs of the end time is great. However, let not your focus stay on the events that follow and the Anti-Christ, rather keep your eyes on Jesus Christ alone and patiently awaits for His coming to bring us home.
I do not personally believe that Harold Camping is a prophet. The truth is no one will know what day and hour our Lord Jesus Christ will return. Only God knows. However, looking at the signs of end time, don’t you think we are living out many of the signs in our present age? Do not be caught off guard when Jesus Christ comes again the second time. If you have not give your life to Jesus to serve Him, do not miss out, do it today and do it now before it is too late. May this journey with me, lead you to the path toward the day of your salvation. God bless!
