I was just thinking that many people who have mocked Harold Campings prediction will find satisfaction that the world did not end, the rapture did not occur. Many of those, who are satisfied, will find this failed prediction as further evidence that there will not be a judgment. But nothing can be further from the truth. Just because Jesus did not come today, does not mean that He will never come.
The Bible says that Jesus will come like a thief in the night. That is His coming will be unexpected. People will be going on in their daily lives without concern. And I am sure that after all the hoopla over this weekend, people will go on without considering that judgment day is coming.
As I said in my last post, our job as Christians is not to focus on when, but trust in the promise. That promise drives us to be His witnesses for we need to make sure that as many people are ready. The only way for people to be ready for the day of judgment, is to trust Jesus Christ, who faced judgment on our behalf. It may be harder for people to believe for awhile, but that should not deter us. We are called to continue to be His witness until Jesus does come again. Think about it.
