Full disclosure: I was called a “nasty individual” for pointing out the May 21, 2011 prediction and asserting that anyone who presumes to predict such a specific date is a nut job. I stand by my assertion. :) I’ll try to remember to ping you on May 22 — if we’re still here.
I’ll be looking forward to that. :)
Nothing wrong with being excited about the coming of the Lord. But predicting the date sets one up to look like a goofball.
There is one scripture that has piqued my interest however, if someone would care to explain what it means...
“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” Matt 24:32-34
“... anyone who presumes to predict such a specific date is a nut job. I stand by my assertion. :)” ~ La Lydia
But the leading “end-times” nut-jobs are usually very “wealthy” nut-jobs. :)
