Sunday Prepper Bible Study- Doomsday

December 21, 2012 is that last day on the Mayan calendar. Several people have  interpreted this to mean Doomsday and the end of the world as we know it. Hollywood made a very action pact film about Doomsday. The film “2012” featured John Cusak who makes a last ditch effort to bug out and get his family to a government “Ark” to weather the cataclysms unleashed by the end of time. The special effects were great and it was terrifically entertaining. Several people are actually expecting quite an eventful day on Dec 21st. The film  is about the only significant thing I can see coming from this prophecy.

Why am I so sure Doomsday wont come on  on Dec 21, 2012?

Jesus said in Matthew 24:36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” No one knows when the end will come. When it does come, it won’t be all in one day. God has a plan to systematically rip this planet to shreds over what many Bible scholars  believe will be  a 7 year period. This process begins in Revelation 6 with the 7 Seals. This period of time is  termed by Escotologist( those who study end time prophecy) as the tribulation. The tribulation begins with the 4 horse men of the Apocalypse. The fourth of which is death who kills  25% of the earths population. Revelation 6:8 reads “I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.” We currently share the planet with about 7 billion people. 25% of them would be roughly 1,750,000,000 people. That is about 5 times the total population of the United States. Shortly after that, we have a world wide earth quake. Then things start to get nasty.The earth gets smacked by a meteor, the water turns to blood, and everyone who does not commit their lives to God are plagued by stinging insects and boils.

Will Christians have to live through this period of time?

That is the million dollar question. The answer deserves a well thought out response. Yes, I have one and I will give it to you in next weeks Bible study! The important thing is to be sure you are always ready to meet your maker. Jesus comes back for people on an individual basis everyday. If you don’t believe me, check your local obituary page.  The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.

Have a blessed day and Happy Prepping!
