People that have eyes to see and ears to hear inherently know that
this world is an illusion and that our current reality will end at some point
in time. There is much speculation and date
setting as to when the end will come.
There is a growing sense the end is close as we watch world events
unfold to fulfill Bible prophecy before our eyes. However, nobody really knows the final date
except the Creator Himself. The Bible
states that even God’s angels do not know the date of the end. It is a closely guarded secret by the One who
is above everything. However, there are
and will be many dates that come and go which are significant in the end time’s
process. March 22, 2013 may be one of
those dates and I am sure that there will be other dates in the future as there
is still much that is prophesied to yet occur.
As with most things in prophecy, we don’t see the fulfillment clearly
until it is either happening or has already been fulfilled. People speculate, argue, and debate the dates
while looking through a glass darkly trying to peer into the future.
In the Bible we are told to watch and to prepare. Part of watching involves understanding what
the Bible says and then speculating on possible watch dates. It helps us to keep things in perspective and
gives a sense of urgency in the necessary preparation. Physical preparations are important, but spiritual
preparations are the most critical in order to be ready for the end date when
it finally comes.
We are all at different stages of readiness. Some are awake while most are asleep. Those that are awake are like Neo in the
movie the Matrix, desperately trying to figure things out and escape the
illusionary world we are captive to. In
order to escape, we need a survival guide to the universe. The universe survival guide for both living
in this world as well as escaping it are all contained in God’s words given to
us in the Bible. Read it carefully and
meditate on it continually! It contains
the required instructions for life both in this world and the world to come.
