Judgement Day is Coming!

Jehovah say's, "But you may wonder,"How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the LORD? If a prophet speaks in the LORD'S name but his prediction does not happen, or come true you will know that the LORD did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared." Deuteronomy 18: 22.

Throughout the remaining part of the 60's and early 70's all of Jehovah's Witnesses were emphatically encouraged to, "Stay alive until 75!" Jehovah had revealed His plan to a few of His chosen servants. By mathematical charts and human logic the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses predicted that Judgement Day and the end of time was coming sometime within the year of 1975. Consequently, followers of the Watchtower organization enthusacially embraced the announcement and quickly started making plans for the end of the present world.

Literally, thousands of trusting Witnesses decided that the most responsible thing to do would be to sell off most of their possessions and enter into the full-time door-to-door work. I think that it's important to add that nearly all of the profits went directly to the Watchtower organization in Brooklyn New York. I'm assuming that most of the people reasoned that they would not need money after "the end."

Another change that took place after the 1975 prediction was that sick, and dying people decided to stop taking much needed medications, and many chose to post pone life saving operations. Then....

On the morning of January 1, 1976 the witnesses woke up and they were still here. Jehovah hadn't come. Can you imagine how disappointed these people must have felt? Can you imagine the devastation for the individuals who had sold off all of their property?

So,how did all of this happen?

The truth is simply that the unsuspecting followers of the Watchtower Society had been taken in by false prophets. If this sounds harsh to anyone, let us take a look at the evidence. A prophet is someone who works for Jehovah. They are appointed and anointed to both guild and warn His people about events that will take place in the future. When a prophet receives words from Jehovah the words that they have spoken will most definitely, without a doubt, come true. However, if the predictions fail to come to pass, the warnings were not from God. Our Heavenly Father never makes a mistake, and He is never wrong.

So... we stand to reason that the members of the Governing Body who predicted the end in 1975 did not get their information from Jehovah!

Unfortunately, there is another group that has surfaced recently and they are predicting that Judgement day will be here on May 21, 2011. I'm certain that the individuals responsible for this bold claim are false prophets. Since the actual date that is being predicted hasn't actually passed yet, I can't in all fairness use the; "if it doesn't come to pass argument", but I can use the words of Jesus.

It is vitally important to remember that Jesus warned us in advance that, "Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people." Matthew 24:11.

The next best way to spot a false prophet is to measure what they are prophesying up against the word of God. Jesus said, "No one, knows the day or hour when these things will happen." Matthew 24: 36. Because, Jesus said that no person knows the day, year or the hour, then nobody knows the actual time. It's that simple. I don't care what mathmathical charts or educated guesses anyone makes, if it contradicts what Jesus and the word of God says then: IT IS A LIE. The truth is; if there was supposed to be a person or a orgainization hand-picked by Jehovah to prepare us for the actual date, Jesus would have said it.

Let us not forget that Jehovah's major reason of not allowing us to know the time or hour is because He wants His children to constantly remain on Guard. Read Matthew chapter 24.

I encourage people everywhere to embrace the advice that Jesus gave us when He warned, "Don't let anyone mislead you." We will never be mislead as long as we measure every teaching and teacher up against the word of God!
