This last few months we have frequently seen post on facebook about the rapture, the Second Coming of Jesus, the apocalypse and the Day of Judgement. They provide a variety of arguments accompanied by Bible verses coupled with the support of modern science. In addition they also provide video on youtube that discussed this topic. If at first glance they seem right. When in fact they are being lost and being mislead others.
I was not too concerned with their activities in facebook until someone asked me to chat to discuss this issue. Mr. X gave a warning to me that the apocalypse will happen September 2015.
Of course I laughed. I said, "Don't be afraid. The apocalypse will not happen in 2015".
He then tried to convince me about Nibiru, total solar eclipse and blood moon. He also said that there are four blood moon in the month of September. Presumably he was wrong to get the news, because the truth is there are four blood moon in 2015. :)
Because I am still laughing at him so he asked my phone number.
I said, "If you want to speak directly then we can talk via video chat on facebook".
We immediately spoke via video chat. We then do a phone chat because Mr. X does not turn on the camera.
But our conversation did not last long because the conversation abruptly interrupted and Mr. X could not be reached again via facebook.
Back to Holy Bible.
2 Timothy {2:15} Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
1 Thessalonians {2:3} For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
{2:4} But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
2 Peter {1:19} We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: {1:20} Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
{1:21} For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.
Isaiah {28:9} Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts.
2 Timothy {3:12} Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. {3:13} But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. {3:14} But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them; ]{3:15} And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. {3:16} All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: {3:17} That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy {2:7} Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
1 Timothy {1:5} Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:
{1:6} From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
Luke {18:34} And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Job {39:17} Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
Matthew {13:11} He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Matthew {13:19} When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one,] and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
The rapture will not occur and the world will not end until everything is fulfilled.
Psalms {105:19} Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
Luke {21:20} And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. {21:21} Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
{21:22} For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. {21:23} But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. {21:24} And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Acts {3:19} Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; {3:20} And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: {3:21} Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
2 Peter {3:9} The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Matthew {5:17} Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. {5:18} For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or
one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. {5:19} Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them,] the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Luke {18:31} Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
Luke {24:44} And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me. {24:45} Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Revelation {10:7} But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Revelation {17:17} For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their
kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
This is an example of unfulfilled prophecy.
Luke {21:25} And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; {21:26} Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luke 21:26 that led to Mr X decided conversation. Because no one has died of fright because of all these disasters.
Another example is as follows:
1. Isaiah {13:6} Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. {13:7} Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt: {13:8} And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames. {13:9} Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. {13:10} For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. {13:11} And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. {13:12} I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Verse 10 and 12 have not been fulfilled.
2. Isaiah {30:26} Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
3. Joel {2:30} And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of
smoke. {2:31} The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
4. Matthew {24:29} Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: {24:30} And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. {24:31} And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
5. Revelation {6:12} And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
6. Revelation {8:12} And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
7. Revelation {16:8} And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
8. John {17:21} That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. {17:22} And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: {17:23} I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
9. Hebrews {2:8} Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing [that is] not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Prophecy numbers 2-9 have not been fulfilled.
The author can give many other examples. But the author would make another articles that discusses this.
The title of these articles is:
1. Why predictions about doomsday always misses?
2. Is it true that the Pope is the Antichrist? or Why the Pope is not the antichrist?
3. Imitate Jesus Christ, the antichrist will come twice to the world.
4. Antichrist can be identified through their characteristics.
5. Why the world will not end after the third world war ended?
6. Watch out! Misdirection against Christians in the last days through false doctrines.
