The Rapture

I hope none of my readers were fooled by the false prophesy that claimed the Rapture (Matthew 24:40-41) would occur on May 21 2011.

It is sad how many ignorant Christians quit their jobs, sold their possessions, and even borrowed money to waste on the teachings of a proven false prophet.

Jesus warned us that these things would happen, yet all of the time Christians fall for lies. As Christ Himself said, "...the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light..." (Luke 16:8 NIV).

Do not be deceived...

Matthew 24:36-44

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

(NIV)

I can't make it any more clear than that. Christ Himself said we will not know what day the rapture will occur, so if some prophet declares that it is going to be "this day" or "that day", we know that they are a false prophet.

Matthew 24:23-27

At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.

So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

(NIV)

Please don't fall for the false prophet.
