Televangelist Juanita Bynum Christians Debate on Tongues Prayer on Facebook

Image via WikipediaI found this to be a very interesting Story. Typing in Tongues? Whether or not it is possible remains to be seen. After all the Bible does tell us about every Idol word we say is held accountable. 

Matthew 12
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2012&version=NKJV
³³ “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. ³⁴ Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. ³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart^[g] brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. ³⁶ But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. ³⁷ For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

The issue of Tongues have been going on for many, many years now. In fact, all the way back to time the Disciples were in the upper room praying shortly after The Christ (Messiah) was crucified and rose from the dead while hundreds of people watched.
Many Churches throughout history try very hard to avoid Tongues in Scripture. Probably because many just don't understand it.

Simply put it's just your Spirit talking with God Himself all through the Holy Spirit, (The Comforter) through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ himself. (Still don't make sense?) Its an easy way for men and women to talk with God in words that we in our own language cannot describe. Yes, mankind does not have words for everything. Especially when it comes to spiritual things.

Take a look at what happened when it all started Acts 1
Read all of it here. (note this is only one of the books that speak about this.)
<sup>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%201&version=NKJV

1</sup> The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, ² until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, ³ to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

As they continue on, This was asked

⁶ Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” ⁷ And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. ⁸ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me^[a] in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

⁹ Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, ¹¹ who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

The document continues on about what they were going through at this time, Many confused yet still waiting. Finally as the next chapter comes into play something happened. TONGUES?

Acts 2
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+2&version=NKJV
¹ When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord^[a] in one place. ² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

When this happen many understood what they said while many others sat around saying they were all drunk and out of their minds.  (This has not changed in over 2000 years) 

Be sure to read the full chapter for more about what happened on this day. The key to all this is what happened here.  

⁴¹ Then those who gladly^[g] received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

Today, Many still do there best to poke fun at those who speak in Tongues. Many churches ban this from being in there Churches. While many others believe it of the Devil. I've seen many try to teach all this by jumping around the Bible instead of reading the entire chapters as a whole. I'm not quite sure how anyone can tell what a whole book says by reading a couple of sentences from it. Yet this is the way they teach while many follow. 

Read the full chapters here. I cannot say whether or not we can type in Tongues. But, with God? All things are possible. My own personal thoughts? I think it's awesome. I love meeting people who speak in Tongues. This makes it much to know they do even ONLINE. 

I don't condemn them for it. But I do find it very interesting to see in an online community that loves the try teach us there is no God. This goes to show. God's people will do what God calls them to do now matter what you have to say about it. I love it.

Pentecostal televangelist and self-professed prophetess Juanita Bynum has sparked curiosity among some Internet users and the Christian community for several comments on the minister's Facebook page where she appears to type "in tongues."

• 

In a series of posts published on Aug. 17, on one of Bynum's many Facebook pages, the minister typed messages where it was believed by commenters and critics that the she was praying in tongues.

In the first message time stamped 3:57 p.m., it appeared that Juanita Bynum II, the account holder for the Facebook page, started praying for Zachery Tims, the Florida megachurch minister who was found dead in a New York City hotel room on Aug. 12:

GOD WE PRAY FOR THE DESTINY CHURCH FAMILY....WE PRAY FOR THE STRENGTH OF PASTOR RIVA TIMS....MIGHTY GOD...GIVE US STRENGTH.....WE ARE THE BODY THAT FEELS THIS PAIN.....WE ALL FEEL IT.....COVER THE MINDS OF HIS CHILDREN...GRAB THEM UP IN YOUR ARMS LORD JESUS......BE A COMFORT TO THEM.....YOU ARE THE MANY BREASTED ONE....

The prayer continued in a second post with the same time stamp:

YOU ARE THE ROCK AND THE SHIELD AND THE ANCHOR.......WARD OFF ALL THE VULCHERS...WHO WILL COME FOR GREEDY GAIN AND NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING IN THAT CHURCH......SEND THEM HELP FATHER...SEND THEM SPIRITUAL HELP THAT WOULD HELP TO HEAL THEM AND RESTORE THEIR LEGS IN YOU GOD!!!!!

Like us on Facebook

In the third post, published about a minute later, the "tongues" text started to appear:
GIRD THEM UP IN THE SPIRIT...GIVE THEM A MIND TO PRAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE....WE CALL ON YOU JESUS....YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE!!!!!!!!NDHDIUBGUGTRUCGNRTUGTIGRTIGRGBNRDRGNGGJNRIC YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE....RFSCNGUGHURGVHKTGHDKUNHSTNSVHGN YOU GOD......YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE!!!!!! OUR HOPE IS IN YOU FATHER......OUR STRENGTH FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS IS IN YOU FATHER......HELP US NOW......LORD WE DONT ASK FOR HELP FOR JUST THEM....THIS IS US....THIS IS A PART OF OUR OWN BODY.....

Several prayer posts with intelligible spellings continued to appear and visitors to Bynum's Facebook page began questioning the text.
Bynum's prayer posts soon caught the attention of the media, with one reporter at a spirituality and faith website speculating that the minister was communicating "in tongues."

On one prayer post, visitor Cindy McCraw commented, expressing her agreement.
"I believe it's tongues (holy spirit). It's called praying in the Spirit," McCraw wrote.
Another visitor to the page expressed disbelief.
"Are you typing tongues? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me," questioned Damita Stargell.

Since the prayer posts have appeared, visitors have been debating whether it was possible for a Christian to write or type in tongues, since the Bible only depicts those inspired by the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues.

Judge upholds ruling for Murfreesboro mosque There Is No Proof Islam Is A Religion

Image via Wikipedia
For the very first time, I see a statement here in this article that says it like it is. At the bottom of the article here, you will notice what is said.  

“Chancellor Corlew seems to go on and on that it’s been decided that Islam is a religion, and we take issue with that,” Brandon said. “There’s no proof in this case that Islam is a religion. There is no case law or code that Islam is a religion.”
Is Islam a Religion?

Fact of the matter is NO. Religion was never set up as a place to Worship. It there so that we practice Religion anywhere and everywhere. Somehow law makers have taken this and twisted it so that it is only means in buildings.
As for the fact of Islam. It has nothing to do with what people call religion. It is a book of Laws. Most of those laws do not even co-exist with the very laws of our own land. Not sure if anyone has noticed this. But the instant we see these new Mosques come in. We almost immediately see more court cases how they want to punish others under there own laws. This has and will continue to happen over and over again.

For anyone who has Loved America should know our basic laws. Simple stuff like Do not murder, Rape, Steal, Cheat. Most of it are Basic Morals. On the other hand. The Qur'an is not like this whatsoever. All these are allowed to further the cause of Holy War. Those who choose not to believe this should take the time to read. Mostly, if you plan to make this book your new laws. Because this is exactly what the primary goal is in the Book. To take over the populations and bring in Their laws under the name of Islam.
Now, Don't take my word for it. Read it yourself.

http://quran.com/

Check out 3 34 Is this really what you want to see become our new Laws?
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.

2:191
And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
5:51

O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.
As you continue to read you realize, This teaches not to co-exist or even accept their ways. Yet it goes even further.
I'll be placing a few more here but you can read a lot more here.

http://www.islam-watch.org/Sami/Islam-Tolerant-Religion-Kill-the-Infidels.htm
“And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress, surely the unbelievers are your open ENEMY.” (Sura 4, verse 101).

“O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).” (Sura 9, verse 123).

“Surely We have prepared for the unbelievers chains and shackles and a burning fire.” (Sura 76, verse 4).

“They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them (the unbelievers) friends until they flee (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and KILL them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.” (Sura 4, verse 89)

The sad part is this goes on and on and on throughout the entire book. Notice it really isn't about Worship. It's more of submit to your prayers and do what your told. That's it. If not your and infidel and should be killed or imprisoned. Again don't take my word for it. Read it yourself.
Now what is the Bible? Isn't it the same? No! It has a very Morality laws in it. But for the most part its about Men and Women and tells about their stories with God and Jesus Christ.
What about America's Laws? They basically come off of this.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2020&version=NKJV

Exodus 20

The Ten Commandments

 ¹ And God spoke all these words, saying:
       ² “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
       ³ “You shall have no other gods before Me.
       ⁴ “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; ⁵ you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, ⁶ but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
       ⁷ “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
       ⁸ “ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⁹ Six days you shall labor and do all your work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. ¹¹ For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
       ¹² “ Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
       ¹³ “You shall not murder. (Notice the correct word here. Murder?)
       ¹⁴ “You shall not commit adultery.
       ¹⁵ “You shall not steal.
       ¹⁶ “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
       ¹⁷ “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
What about Jesus. and His laws?

The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022&version=NKJV  
³⁴ But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. ³⁵ Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, ³⁶ “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

³⁷ Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

³⁸ This is the first and great commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ⁴⁰ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

You be the judge. Be sure to read both books, Make up your own mind. Which one is Peaceful? Which one is not? I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how anyone could call Islam Peaceful. Murder is never peaceful.
Now take a look at the article below. What do you think. Is Islam a Religion or just a book of Laws? Being it is all about Laws. Are you really that willing to make their laws our own here in America? Many state are already well on there way.

http://www.tennessean.com/article/20110831/NEWS01/308310117/Judge-upholds-ruling-Murfreesboro-mosque?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|s

MURFREESBORO — A Rutherford County judge decided to uphold his earlier decision that the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro has a right, by law, to build a bigger place of worship.
“Those who are adherents to Islam are entitled to pursue their worship in the United States just as are those who are adherents to more universally established faiths (in our community),” ruled Chancellor Robert Corlew III.
Opponents of the mosque had asked Corlew to reconsider the decision he made in May, which was that the 17 plaintiffs suing Rutherford County government can only challenge whether an open meeting violation occurred over the mosque’s approval.
No trial has been scheduled on whether the county failed to provide sufficient public notice before its Regional Planning Commission met May 24, 2010, to vote on the Islamic center’s plans to construct a 52,960-square-foot community center with a mosque on Veals Road.

Federal appeals court: Saying “Jesus” during public prayer is unconstitutional

Federal appeals court: Saying “Jesus” during public prayer is unconstitutional
As in most counties in America, the Board of Commissioners of Forsyth County, North Carolina, begins its public meetings with an invocation. These prayers are given by local religious leaders on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Given that 95 percent of local religious houses identify as Christian, it’s not surprising that many of the invocations include specifically Christian language, often closing the prayer in the name of “Jesus Christ” or “Jesus.”
Two non-Christians from the community with a population of approximately 350,000 sued, arguing that an invocation mentioning Jesus Christ during a public prayer violates the Establishment Clause of the Constitution.
Even though the pair acknowledged that the Supreme Court held public prayers—called “legislative prayers”—are constitutional in the 1983 case Marsh v. Chambers, the federal district court in North Carolina sided with the protestors.
In a stunning decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit affirmed that judgment in a 2-to-1 decision, holding in the case Joyner v. Forsyth County that prayers unconstitutionally advance Christianity if references to Jesus are more than isolated, or if the content is otherwise too Christian for the court’s taste.
Writing for the majority, Judge Harvie Wilkinson - a respected appellate judge who was appointed by President Reagan - wrote that public prayers are for the purpose of welcoming and including the community to be involved in government. (That’s odd. I always thought it was to ask for God’s blessing.)
The predominance of Christian prayers violated Judge Wilkinson’s novel understanding, and so, joined by Barbara Keenan, who was appointed by President Obama, the court struck down the county’s longstanding practice, calling it “sectarian.”
Judge Paul Victor Niemeyer, a judicial conservative regarded as one of the smartest judges on the federal bench, wrote in a strong dissent: “Thus … the majority has dared to step in and regulate the language of prayer—the sacred dialogue between humankind and God. Such a decision treats prayer agnostically; reduces it to a civil nicety; … Most frightfully, it will require secular [authorities] to evaluate and parse particular religious prayers…”

Signs of the times? Bible Prophecy happening now?

Image via WikipediaAs we continue to read through the chapters of Isaiah and many others. Like Daniel 11 and 12, Joel 3, Revelations, Matthew 24 and so many others. It's a wonder how so many have not seen what is happening in the world today.
Are we actually seeing the signs of the times? Is Bible Prophecy actually happening right now? As much as I would love to post every chapter in the Bible from what is happening throughout the world right now. I just don't have the room on just one Blog. Egypt right now along with the Global cause of the U.N. Seem to be right inline with every thing the Bible says.

Egypt remembers man whose death sparked revolution

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43299923/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/
Isaiah 19
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2019&version=NKJV
¹ The burden against Egypt.

      Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud,
      And will come into Egypt;
      The idols of Egypt will totter at His presence,
      And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
       ² “ I will set Egyptians against Egyptians;
      Everyone will fight against his brother,
      And everyone against his neighbor,
      City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
       ³ The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;
      I will destroy their counsel,
      And they will consult the idols and the charmers,
      The mediums and the sorcerers.
       ⁴ And the Egyptians I will give
      Into the hand of a cruel master,
      And a fierce king will rule over them,”
      Says the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
       ⁵ The waters will fail from the sea,
      And the river will be wasted and dried up.
       ⁶ The rivers will turn foul;
      The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up;
      The reeds and rushes will wither.

Daniel 11
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2011&version=NKJV
⁴⁰ “At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. ⁴¹ He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. ⁴² He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. ⁴³ He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. ⁴⁴ But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. ⁴⁵ And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.

Luke 21

The Destruction of Jerusalem

 
²⁰ “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. ²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. ²² For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Doomsday believer donates entire inheritance to Family Radio

Image by knowhimonline via FlickrAs depressing as this is. It only goes to show that if people who want to claim to be Christian and Love Christ with all their hearts, only makes sense to actually read the Bibles we are supposed to be reading. Stuff like this would not happen.  I find so many people who take a sentence here and there and only listen to a man telling them what to believe. Herald Camping does not know what he is talking about. He is what Jesus himself talked about being a false prophet. Many will come claiming that they know. Many will even say they are Christ. For those that want to believe. Please take the time and read your Bibles. Do not turn out like these people did.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- When the world didn't end on May 21, many people who had given up their earthly possessions were left with nothing.
But one believer never lived to see the day. She left nearly her entire estate -- around $300,000 -- to the group behind the failed prediction, leaving some family members out in the cold.
Eileen Heuwetter was shocked to find out that her aunt left the majority of her estate to Family Radio, the group responsible for the doomsday warnings that the world would end on May 21. She and her sister were each left $25,000 from their aunt's estate. The rest is going to Family Radio.
The network of Christian radio stations based in Oakland, Ca., is almost entirely funded by donations. According to IRS filings, the group brought in $18 million in contributions in 2009 alone.
Heuwetter, the executor of the will, knew how much her aunt loved the radio station and admired its leader, Harold Camping, who is viewed as a prophet by many of his followers.
While other family members insisted it was crazy to let her aunt give all that money to a radio station, Heuwetter didn't initially contest the conditions of the will. She knew little about the Christian radio station, but knew her aunt, Doris Schmitt, found comfort in it.
Schmitt had lived a tough life, struggling with alcoholism and losing her two children to drug addictions before dying alone at 78 on May 2, 2010 in her small home in Queens, New York.
"This was not a woman who had anything. She literally had Family Radio on day and night -- she went to bed with it and woke up to it," said Heuwetter. "That was all she had."

Doomsday prophet, followers ‘flabbergasted’ world didn’t end. Why?

Image via WikipediaIt is good to hear some of the people coming back out. I hope to get more news on them here soon. I'm going to take some time here to try to help those who believed the End of the World was coming and try to help easy there minds why it didn't happen.


First off Camping made one the biggest mistakes by simply stating a day this would happen even more so a time. If Jesus Christ himself said this cannot be done we must be faithful enough to believe him over any man that claims so much.

The second major mistake was quoting one sentence at a time. Many, many churches do this today. Mostly to make sure they get their point across. Yet, still so very dangerous to do as we can see so many lives have been affected by it already.


We need to remember read all of Matthew 24 not a couple of sentences. I will post more towards the bottom of this article.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110523/ts_yblog_thelookout/doomsday-prophet-followers-flabbergasted-world-didnt-end
It's hard to feel bad for someone whose doomsday predictions caused so much anxiety, but 89-year-old Harold Camping's recent admission that he's "flabbergasted" the world didn't end last weekend sounds somewhat pitiful.

"It has been a really tough weekend," Camping said Sunday, after emerging from his Alameda, California home for the first time to talk to a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm looking for answers ... But now I have nothing else to say," he said, adding that he would make a full statement today.

Camping's PR aide, Tom Evans, told the L.A. Times that the group is "disappointed" that 200 million true believers weren't lifted up to heaven on Saturday while everyone else suffered and eventually died as a series of earthquakes and famine destroyed the Earth. "You can imagine we're pretty disappointed, but the word of God is still true," Evans said. "We obviously went too far, and that's something we need to learn from." The group posted 2,000 billboards around the country warning of the rapture, while Camping--an uncertified fundamentalist minister--spread the word on his radio show.

Camping's Family Radio, which airs on 66 U.S. stations, has apparently rebranded itself quickly. Business Insider notes that the station's website has scrubbed all mentions of the Judgment Day. The site previously featured a countdown clock to the May 21 rapture on its homepage.

But the false prediction might not be so easily effaced from the lives of Camping's followers. The L.A. Times writes that Keith Bauer, a 38-year-old tractor trailer driver, took a road trip with his family to see the Grand Canyon before the world ended.
"With maxed-out credit cards and a growing mountain of bills, he said, the rapture would have been a relief," the paper writes.
But Bauer is not angry at Camping for his false prediction. "Worst-case scenario for me, I got to see the country," he told the paper. "If I should be angry at anybody, it should be me."

As the Media focused more on the End of the World hardly anyone focused on those who read the Bible itself. Even Hal Lindsey tried to tell people this was not going to happen.

We Cannot Know “The Day or Hour”
Hal Lindsey

I want all of my friends to know that I AM AGAINST any form of predicting a specific day that the end of this age and the Rapture will occur.

I am well aware that a Christian teacher has predicted that the end of this age will occur on May 21st 2011. When this fails, it will be used by our enemies to discredit the expectation that the Rapture could take place at any-moment.

The Lord Jesus clearly commanded that we are to recognize the general time of the seven-year tribulation that will end with Christ’s personal return to the earth to end Armageddon and set up His 1000 year Kingdom on Earth.

After Jesus made many prophecies about His coming and the end of the age, He said, “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but M y words will not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” (Matt. 24:32-36 NAS)

We Still have a long way to go before the End of The World Happens.

I love Prophecy and have studied it for most of my life. Not sure why but I find it very fascinating I have heard allot of them ranging from Nostradamus, The Mayans, Ancient Egypt, Islamic, and of course The Bible among many others. It wasn't until I was 30 years old before I accepted Christ into my life. And truthfully, It was watching Bible Prophecy come true that made my mind up. That along with some very good Christian Metal bands.
That aside. I want to show everyone how this mistake was so easily believed, and to help those understand the Bible still stands very true.
Take the time and read all of Matthew 24. If you notice. Jesus said everything in line with each event that occurs right after another. Notice, The Son of Man does not come until After the Abomination Of Desolation? Even so, Notice the False Christs and False Prophets?  As of right now my friends we are still in the Beginning of Sorrows stages. But I must agree we are not far off.

You can also read more from Mark 13, and Luke 21
Notice Luke 21? Where is the Abomination of Desolation?
Luke seems like he already knew what Daniel had said and talked about when it came to this.

Luke 21
²⁰ “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. ²¹ Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. ²² For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

This is coming and very fast. I know what I've said will probably step all over most theologians out there.  But, If anyone would stop jumping around the Bible so much and actually read it AS IS. They may begin to see the full Story of what God intended. To be read straight through. Not picked apart all the time. Rightly dividing the Word does not mean constantly dividing the Word.

I'm doing my best not to make this very long. But I want to point out how so many were mislead so easily. Camping decided he was going to take again one sentence from
1 Thessalonians 5

I Thessalonians 5:2-4 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 

As well as jumping around other Scriptures to make it say what he wanted it to say. 

He put his primary focus on scriptures like this. And would add to it and say. See It CLEARLY says that we will know. Anyone that says See It CLEARLY says this or that should raise up several red flags. I have noticed several churches throughout the entire U.S.A. are and have been teaching people this same way. It's very dangerous. As we can see here.  

Again for those that were lost in this mans teachings. Please don't loose Faith over this. But read the whole chapters he mentioned. This alone will tell you why he was wrong. Nowhere in the Bible does it says we will know the exact time. If this were the case. Jesus would not have said that Only the Father knows. After all if we did know the exact time of the Rapture everyone would party up until that day. 

Even if Our Father had chose that day? I'm sure he changed it on purpose because His Son Said No man knows the day. It would have made his Son a liar. That would not be good given the awesome record God has for not lying. 


One more thing. For anyone running around saying it the End of The World, I just want to point this out. 
We Still Have 1000 years of real Peace to go through.

Satan Bound 1000 Years

 ¹ Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. ² He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; ³ and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

The Saints Reign with Christ 1000 Years

   ⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a^[a] thousand years. ⁵ But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. ⁶ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Finally, There will not be Peace until Satan and all Evil is wiped off of this planet. I just hope that this clears up some of the mistakes made. Feel free to ask question if you wish to know more.

Broadcaster silent as Judgment Day hours tick by Pray for the victims.

Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

 I'm so worried about all those people who believe today is the end of the world. One lady already tried killing her kids and herself cause she didn't want them to have to go through it. We as Christians need to pray that these people DO Not overreact when this don't happen. Many have already sold everything and quit their jobs. We need to pray for them.  


Christian Cult Mother Tries to Kill Kids With Razor & Self Before Alleged May 21, 2011 'Tribulation' Come.

Source: http://www.ktla.com/videobeta/?watchId=9515e82b-b684-4849-aad5-b394f2599934

Palmdale (KTLA) -- A woman slit her daughters' throats before slitting her own early Friday evening, claiming that "the Tribulation" was going to occur and she wanted to prevent them from suffering through it, officials said.

Lyn Benedetto, 47, reportedly told her daughters to lie on a bed and proceeded to take a knife to their throats.

The suspect then took the knife to her own throat before driving the victims to an unoccupied friend's house to die.

Lancaster Station deputies responded to a call regarding an "assault with knife" at about 5:32pm from the owner of the residence where the victims had been taken.

The victims and the suspect were found and the location, and the suspect was subsequently arrested.

The victims were treated at Antelope Valley Hospital for moderate though non life-threatening injuries and released to custody of Department of Children's Services.
The Bible strickly warns us about men like this. 

Matthew 24
²² And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
²³ “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. ²⁴ For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. ²⁵ See, I have told you beforehand.
²⁶ “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. ²⁷ For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. ²⁸ For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

For those who actually read the Bible. They know the warnings at least they should. 

Among many others written about these times. We must pray and help those who have been totally deceived and stop calling them Crazy. This is not going to help them whatsoever.

SAN FRANCISCO | Sat May 21, 2011 2:31pm EDT

(Reuters) - With no sign his forecast of Judgment Day arriving on Saturday has come true, the 89-year-old California evangelical broadcaster and former civil engineer behind the pronouncement seemed to have gone silent.

Family Radio, the Christian stations network headed by Harold Camping which had spread his message of an approaching doomsday, was on Saturday playing recorded church music and devotional messages unrelated to the apocalypse.
Camping previously made a failed prediction Jesus Christ would return to Earth in 1994.
In his latest pronouncement, he had said doomsday would begin in Asia, but with midnight local time come and gone in Tokyo and Beijing and those cities already in the early hours of May 22, there was no sign of the apocalypse.
The Oakland, California, headquarters of the network of 66 U.S. stations, which has international affiliates and had posted billboards around the country warning of a May 21 Judgment Day, were shuttered with a sign in the door that read "This Office is Closed. Sorry we missed you!"
The headquarters, which appears to be normally closed on Saturday, was also shuttered on Friday.
Camping, whose deep sonorous voice is frequently heard on his radio network expounding the Bible, could not be reached immediately for comment on Saturday.
On Friday, the shades were drawn and no one answered the door at his house in Alameda, California.
Atheists in different parts of the country were planning celebrations and get-togethers to mark the failure of Camping's May 21 prediction to come true.
