Does the world end on the 21 st May ??

The end of the world on the 21st May is being named by some as the Rapture discribed in the Bible.

The Rapture is a reference to the being caught up referred to in the Biblical passage 1 Thess 4:17 when in the End Times the Christians will be gathered together in the air to meet Christ.


The primary passage used to support the idea of the Rapture is 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, in which Paul cites "the word of the Lord" about the return of Jesus to gather his saints.

... and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.1 Thess 4

There are many views among Christians regarding the timing of Christ's return (including whether it will occur in one event or two), and various views regarding the destination of the 1 Thessalonians 4 aerial gathering

Well , lets wait and see !!! ( I still believe Mark 13:32 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father )

Shape-Shifting Monster in South Africa

Steytlerville - Steytlerville, a small Karoo town, is being plagued by rumours of a shape-shifting monster, Eastern Cape police said on Thursday.


"The community says that the monster changes shape while you are looking at it," Warrant Officer Zandisile Nelani said.

He said one man had reported it changed from a man wearing a suit into a pig and then into a bat. The creature had been sighted on a number of occasions near a church and only appeared at night, Nelani said.

Local residents met with police last week to discuss the strange phenomenon.

Nelani said he had asked people to take a photograph of the alleged monster. Although some locals were frightened of it, it had not harmed any people or livestock.

Loch Ness Monster

This was last year but thought it is worth a mention, Any news on the Loch ness monster is worth a mention...

Science and the Bible.

The Bible(2,000–3,000 years ago)


The earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22).Science of that time=the earth is flat

The Bible

Innumerable stars (Jeremiah 33:22).Science then=1,400 stars

Science now=Innumerable stars.



The earth floats free in space(Job 26:7)---Job was written 4000 years ago. No one knew this fact 4000 years ago.

Creation is made of particle, indiscernible to our eyes(atoms, molecules, electrons,.......)(Hebrews 11:3)--- Not until the 19th century was that known.

There are mountains on the bottom of the ocean(Jonah 2:5,6)---This was discovered in the last century.

Blood is the source of life and health(Leviticus 17:11,14)---Up until 120 years ago, sick people were "bled" and many died as a result(e.g. George Washington). Today we know that healthy blood is necessary to bring life giving nutrients to every cell in the body. God declared that "the life of the flesh is in the blood" long before science understood it's function.

Our bodies are made of the dust of the ground(Genesis 2:7;3:19)----Scientists have discovered that the human body is comprised of 28 trace elements, all of which are found in the earth.

The universe had a beginning(Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 1:10-12)---Starting with the studies of Albert Einstein in the early 1900's, science has confirmed the biblical view that the universe had a beginning. When the bible was written most people believed that the universe was eternal. Science has proven them wrong but the bible was correct.

The earth is a sphere(Isaiah 40:22)---At the time when many thought the earth was flat, the bible told us that the earth is spherical. Incidently, for those who call christians 'flat earthers', that verse is 2700 years

old.

Scripture assumes a revolving spherical earth(Luke 17:34-36)----Jesus said that at his return some would be asleep at night while others would be working at daytime activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth with day and night occurring simultaneously.

Light can be divided(Job 38:24)---Sir Isaac Newton studied light and discovered that white light is made of 7 colors, which can be parted and then recombined. Science confirmed this 400 years ago, The Bible declared this 4000 years ago.

The continents were created as one large land mass(Genesis 1:9,10)---Many geologists agree that the earth was originally one super continent.

Hydrological cycle described(Job 36:27,28)---About4000 years ago the bible declared that God "draws up drops of water which distills as rain from the mist which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly on man". The ancients observed mighty rivers flowing into the ocean, but they could not conceive why the sea level never rose.. Though they observed rainfall they had only quaint theories as to it's origin. Meteorologists now understand that the hydrological cycle consists of evaporation, atmospheric transportation,distillation and precipitation.

Circumcision on the 8th day is ideal(Genesis 17:12)---Medical science has discovered that the blood clotting chemical Prothrombin peaks in a newborn on the 8th day. This is therefore, the safest day to circumcise a baby. If you do it before that he'll bleed to death. How did Moses know that?

The universe is expanding(Job9:8,Isaiah42:5,Je... 51:15,Zechariah12:1 and other verses)---Seventeen times in the Old Testament it says that "God is stretching the heavens". During the 20th century most scientists(including Einstein) believed the universe was static. Others believed it should have collapsed due to gravity. Then in 1929 astronomer Edwin Hubble showed distant galaxies were receding from the earth and the further away they were, the faster they were moving. This discovery revolutionized the field of astronomy. Einstein admitted his mistake and today most astronomers agree with what the creator told us thousands of years ago--the universe is expanding.

Light travels in a path(Job 38:19)--- Light is said to have a "way"{Hebrew:derek, literally a traveled path or road]. Until the 17th century it was believed that light was transmitted instantaneously. We now know that light is a form of energy that travel at 186,000 miles per second in a straight line. Indeed, there is a way of light.

Air has weight(Job 28:25)--- It was once thought that air was weightless. Yet 4000 years ago Job declared that God established "a weight for the wind".

Ocean currents anticipated(Psalms 8:8)----About 3000 years ago the bible describles the "paths of the sea". In the 19th century Mathew Maury...the father of oceanography, after reading Psalms chapter 8, researched and discovered ocean currents that follow specific paths through the seas.



Contrary to all the gibberish you hear in todays secular humanist public schools about how we used to believe a lot of myths in the bible and then science came along and proved the bible wrong.....on the contrary, the bible was way ahead of science. Even though the bible is not a scientific book.

Red sea crossing

In the story told in the Bible and Koran, "Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night."

In reality, wind, hydrodynamics and the unique topography of the Nile Delta may have had the same effect - with the same miraculous results for the Israelites.

The study by the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research and the University of Colorado replaces the hand of God with a 139km east wind blowing for at least 12 hours.  It also suggests that the epic crossing of the Red Sea happened 120km north of Suez, where an ancient branch of the Nile approached a shallow coastal lagoon, and near the modern Port Said.

Otherwise, one of the study's authors claims: "The simulations match fairly closely with the account in Exodus."  In that account Moses and the Israelites are driven from Egypt by the Pharoah's army, which pursues them across the Red Sea only to be drowned when the waters return to their natural state.

If the pursuit took place across the lagoon known as the Lake of Tanis, "the parting of the waters can be understood through fluid dynamics," according to Carl Drews, the lead author of Dynamics of Wind Setdown at Suez and the Eastern Nile Delta.

Using computer models and modern understanding of the phenomenon of "wind setdown" - by which strong, steady winds have been shown to push back large volumes of water temporarily - Drews concluded that a gale of the kind described in the Bible could have created a land bridge 3.2km wide and 4.8km long and open for perhaps four hours.

1 Peter 1 : 24 -25

For "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the lord stands forever" - 1 Peter 1 : 24 -25

It's a fact that a few books survive very long.  Only one book is eternal.  The Bible stands forever.  The word of God lives forever.

We are even warned of what will happen if try to destroy the Bible.  Revelations 22 : 18 -19 "And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears of the words of prophecy written in this book; If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book.  And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life, and in the holy city that are described in this book.

Galatians 4:6

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your heart, crying out, " Abba, Father".   Galatians 4:6


In the Bible, Jesus said, "Therefore,do not worry, saying ' What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or ' What shall we wear?' For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things" ( Matthew 6: 31-32)

Once, He said.  "If you then, being Evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heavengive good gifts to those who ask him!" (Matthew 7:11)

Know that He is your Father, and ask Him, and you Will receive !!!
