December 21 Prophesy - Mayan Calendar Prediction
Are we living in end times?
"I've
never been one to cry wolf or play the doomsday card," says Dr. Roland
Trujillo who is a pastor and author of 14 books. "But some very
obvious events and conditions, or should we say a confluence of obvious
events and conditions, are definitely pointing in that direction."
"It is not for us to know the date or the time, but there is a place for prudent watchfulness. We are told to watch, and that is what I am doing.
When the recent May doomsday prediction of Mr. Camping was in the news, I remained calm and advised people to remain calm and to just go about their life and not be worried. Now we have the Mayan prediction, the December 21 prophecy.
Again, for any other prediction, including December 21, I am still advising people to remain calm and go about their business. I'm buying Christmas presents.
But having said that, there are some things that should be taken note of--like the elephant in the living room--calling attention to themselves. We want to be calm but not complacent. We don't want to be worried, but we want to be watchful. We don't want to be distraught, but we should be discerning and diligent.
I am not given to prediction, and Christ Himself clearly said that "no one knows the date or the hour except "My Father in Heaven." I take Him at His word.
So live your life as best you can. Don't be overly concerned about various predictions. Just be a good mom or dad, a good son or daughter, and a good neighbor and employee. Be fair with people and don't resent them. Be patient with people.
Live the good life and you'll be ready for whatever comes when it comes.
People and predictions come and go, so pay not attention to others and what they say; but pay attention to your own little corner of the world. Don't be a world watcher and world worrier. Be there for your loved ones and mind your p's and q's. Look for opportunities that God may send your way.
Who was it who said "Live each day as if it were your last, and live each day as if you will live to be a hundred." Good advice.
Now that I have reassured you, I must also caution that we must not be like what Christ described went on in the days of Noah: people were eating and drinking and making merry. People, in other words, were living for pleasure and personal goals--living recklessly, thoughtlessly and foolishly. They were complacent and nonchalant about the eternal verities and the important things in life.
Christ said that this is the way people would be living in the end times.
"Lord, teach us to number our days" said the Psalmist. He meant that we all need to be reminded that our days are numbered.
If you are young, enjoy life and rejoice in your youth. It is good and pleasing to God Who gave you your youth. Just don't resent your parents, and have a heart for others. Live within the bounds of propriety and be modest.
If you are older, then be grateful that God has given you more years. Be a good model and example to your kids and grand kids. Be sober minded.
