Before now, several notable and respected men in the world had predicted dates of the coming of Jesus Christ and the end of this world, contrary to the plain statement of the Bible as found in the book of Matthew 24:35-36 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall 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.”
- “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep [meaning that not all Christians will die physically before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ—KSA], but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).
- “But the day of the lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with a fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness dwells (2 Peter 3:10-13).
The next question arising from this is “When is the world coming to an end?” The was answered by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:35-36 “…but of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”. The exact day cannot be predicted by any man irrespective of the technological advancement. Does it mean that all who have laboured to predict the exact day of the coming of Jesus Christ and the end of the world are liars?
As you would have noted, many predictions had been made, some dates already in history, while others in future and those in history have proven that their predictors are LIARS!
