Doomsday May21 2011

Doomsday May21 2011 

     I remember seeing a man walking down Broad Street here in Philadelphia about a month ago with a sign, saying Doomsday The End Of the World. It was a double face sign that he was wearing front and back. It caught my attention not because it alarmed me but  the message made you think. My attention was focused on the fact that man is not immortal and the bible speaks of the of the Rapture and Judgement day.
   The scriptures says, No man knows the day nor the hour, not even the Son but only God. After that sighting I began to hear and see more about this coming prophetic biblical event.  I later heard  that the radio minister Harold Camping was the prophetic voice behind this prediction.
       As the day grew closer the prediction spread throughout the Radio world and TV land. The subject became food for jokes . To some it sparked humor but fear for others. The danger of spreading rumors is the reaction of those who follow and believe.  The hour 6pm or 6:30 came and past  after calling a few Of my Christian friends we joked and laughed and had no reports of anyone suddenly missing.
      I believe  the bible more than the doomsday prophets who misinterpret.  
       The world is going to end for all of us at our appointed time.  As man pollutes the oceans and poisons the land he is contributing to the destruction of his world. The recent oil spill  in the gulf of Mexico threatened the fishing industry and further polluted the ocean. The fishing industry has been affected to the point where we now have farm raised fish that many of us are skeptical of. Who knows what the farmers are feeding the fish to make them grow and what impact  it has on our health. The supply of certain salmon is running out and other species are being depleted because of over fishing. Our food supply is constantly being threatened either by man made devices or nature's devastation. Our drinking water is being polluted by chemical runoff from industries and factories. Our planet is in danger from global warming and other catastrophes.
    Earthquakes, Floods, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, twisters wars all threaten our survival . Nuclear meltdowns and Nuclear War all add to our doom, not to mention the spread of decease. Who knows how long man will survive as a species? No one knows but God.
