Understood and largely agreed.
Only promise that when September 23, 2017 turns out to be just another day, that you won’t fall for this kind of mumbo-jumbo anymore.
"Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong"
1 Corinthians 16:13
I will continue to watch (until I am taken or the end of my life), to look at what is going on in the culture, in politics, in the economy, and in the church.
Don't you?
"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin to salvation."
Hebrews 9:28
I truly believe that those who are waiting and watching the signs of the times for His return are following Scripture. How many parables did Christ make about this? The Ten Virgins. The Servant and the Master. The servants in the field and the women grinding at the mill. And others.
If we are watching, and we believe His return can come at any time, then I believe we live more holy and righteous lives, because we do not want to be found sleeping when the Master returns.
I never fell for the Harold Camping or any other garbage.
But I do attempt to stay awake during these very perilous times.
