No one knows

I love prognosticators, those who love to try to predict the future from present signs. You can find prognosticators in most any arena: sports, financials, entertainment, relationship, end times. There are a lot of people who listen to these prognosticators and even shape their lives around what they predict. Sad to say, but it is true.

Wikipedia lists over 150 failed end time predictions, along with seven future predictions and thirteen future scientific predictions. And, I am positive that they are ALL wrong. People love to predict when the end of the world, or some apocalyptic event is going to occur. And, when they do, people love to listen, and many fret. But, all we have to do to know about when the world will end is listen to JESUS.

Today's word is Mark 13:32, NIV, which reads, "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

Even in JESUS'S earthly time, folks were asking about the end of the world. People were concerned about how it would all "go down", how it would all transpire, when it would happen, just as people in our generation are. And, JESUS'S answer was simply, "No one knows except GOD the FATHER."

The key for us, as I have probably mentioned before, is not to get so wrapped up on when the world will end but to be focused on the fact that our world could end TODAY. We are not promised the very next breath, the very next second. We have to be prepared TODAY.

As for the prognosticators, there will always be those who try to predict anything and everything. But, when it comes to the end of the world, you can rest assured that no one knows.

Be Blessed,
