(This is a follow up to the post: December 21, 2012 IS Doomsday.)
I want to tell you why the world didn’t come to an end on December 21, 2012 like the Mayans predicted.
Do you know the answer?
It’s really quite simple.
Jesus said, “‘But of that day and hour [that the world ends] no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” (Matthew 24:36)
And so there you go.
It’s not much more complicated than that.
And I don’t intend to complicate it any more myself.
But wait a minute.
The world actually did come to an end (I said it in the headline)?
December 21, 2012 WAS doomsday for some?
If you read my initial post you would already know what I mean.
Here’s a little bit of what I said…
You see, the person who died on December 21, 2012 (dying / death is that moment where the physical body ceases to function, but the spirit continues on) ~ it’s that person that it was doomsday for. It’s that person that December 21, 2012 was doomsday ~ the person who didn’t know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. (Romans 10:9, 13)
December 21, 2012 WAS doomsday for that person. (Hebrews 9:27)
(I’ll let you go back and read the initial post for the rest.)
I can’t remember the exact quote (was it in “The Great Divorce” by C. S. Lewis?), but it goes something like this: “This earth will be the closest some will ever get to hell; for others it will be the closest they ever get to heaven.”
That’s really a hopeful / horrifying quote. It’s hopeful if you’re a believer. We’re going to a better place after this life is through. (Praise God!)
Not so for the unbeliever.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
“The Lord is … not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
