Gee, you know the Dec. 21, 2012 date came and went, nothing happened and it makes you kinda feed disappointed, huh? Several of us been waiting to see the poles reverse or the Almighty’s hand slap the earth very hard issuing a wake up call to all it’s citizens and none of that seemed to have happened, on that day at least. However, this writer thinks that the Almighty’s hand warns everyday of things to come. If you read the article by Alan Bonner, then you know of the warnings issued from the bible relating to today’s events world wide, the end is close. Many of us believe that the end times are very close indeed, which could mean tomorrow or many, many, years from now, but it will happen. The exact date will forever remain unknown. Sir Issac Newton said that it would be 2060 or later and he insist that it will not end before 2060. Sir Issac used the bible to make his predictions and I thought it was interesting how he put the dates, ie, “no sooner than but anytime after 2060”. That is unique, huh? A friend of ours says it will not happen until our Jewish friends start rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem, over the exact spot it was originally. Oh, well, that’s where the Muslim temple is located and it ain’t gonna happen without a big fight. So some of you can enlighten me on that one also. It’s kinda funny, being an old man, seems like I would know a lot of these things…but the older I get the less I know. I have waited on the Lord to tell me these things a long time now, so I suppose the best thing for me to do is listen…ok, I’m listening Lord……Pete
“No sooner than but anytime after 2060” sounds like the statement of a politician to me, an sir Issac was not only a good one, but a rich one also. This is the perfect combination for a politician. Sir Isaac knew how to stand on the edge of the cliff without falling into the pit. I wonder if our leaders in Washington know how to do it. Time will tell.
The final verdict on the Mayan Calender is still out. There was no “big bang” on 12/21/12 that some expected, but the world may yet go in “alot of little bangs” beginning with the destruction of Sandy last fall and the great snow storm of Christmas Day 2012 that devestated much of the pine forest of Arkansas and other places as well. The “little bangs” have begun. No one ever said that life on this earth would ever be certain and secure. A “land flowing with milk and honey” and “heavenly bliss” was always in our future. It may be near, or it may be another 10 billion lyears, but time does not mean to God what it means to finite and mortal man.
Don’t totally write off the Mayan’s yet. For an uneducated, ancient people struggling to find meaning in their world, they may have had at least a finger on the truth, the same truth that has come down to us from the ancient Hebrew and is the foundation of our very existence.
You want to keep juggling the date like some of the others? Just wondered….Pete
