Is The End Near?

Movie productions, media outlets and other sources continue to proclaim the world is going to end on December 21, 2012.  The speculation stems from the end of the long Mayan calendar, which concludes on December 21, 2012.  Do the Mayan’s know something we don’t?  Besides the fact that the speculation is unwarranted and a means for some to make money, the Bible reveals all there is to know about the time of the end.  Notice the following…

There Will Be An End.  Peter penned, “the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Pt. 3:10).  John stated, “And the world is passing away” (1 Jn. 2:17).  The Bible affirms there will be an end and men will stand in judgment (Heb. 9:27; 2 Cor. 5:10).

When Will It Be?  Jesus said, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only” (Mt. 24:36).  Peter said, “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night…” (2 Pt. 3:10).  The Mayans, Jehovah Witnesses, nor anyone of us knows when the end will be.  Many predictions have been made, but to no avail.

It’s almost certain that the end of the world will not happen on December 21, 2012 as no one knows the day or hour.  Because the time of the end is unknown, we must be prepared at all times!
