Um... first before I want to say something about the topic for this entry, I would like to tell that I've been sort of "away" from the blogsphere and other Internet social stuff, with my reasons naturally inclining to being busy from balancing my time from work, the Bible, and personal researches on technical things programming geeks and project managers would be interested, and on world events relating to Biblical prophesies, and on stuff relating to Christian polemics and apologetics. So there, I was busy these days, and I still am.
But what prompted me to post something here is about an Internet link from what I've read through e-mails from my online friends regarding an alternative explanation to the end of days as prophesied by the Bible. (Alright, the second coming of Christ then, to make ourselves view the positive side associated with those events.) And first, I have to explain that, as an apology, I cannot share that link I've read from, as it contained potentially faith-shaking materials. I believe on the viewpoints of Christianity, so other viewpoints that are anti-Christian are definitely a no-no to me. I can explain those viewpoints in due time, but right now I think it would not be helpful if, by sharing that link, I mix this entry with trash.
So ok, my point now, the materials with an alternative explanation to the end days. It is quite obvious that it definitely is not Christian, though they spiced it with some passage from the Gospel according to the apostle Matthew. The proponent said something about "sacred" geometry, "sacred" music -- other "sacred" things, by the way, that I have to put it in quotes -- government-funded psychic projects, the Illuminati, convergence of consciousness, ET, planetary alignment. You know, trash... I wish I could say more of this, and some relevant Bible passages that talked about these things happening in the last days. But I have to be honest, I cannot recall the Scripture quotes at the moment.*
But there is one thought that is hanging in my mind as I was attempting to logically disassemble this alternative yet anti-Christian viewpoint of the last days: they can also explain if or when the Rapture will happen. Consider the scenario that the Rapture will have just happened, people saved by grace will have already been taken to Heaven, and with those who have left behind will have wondered why some people mysteriously vanished. Some of those left behind will have heard of the Christian viewpoint, and will start believing to Christ, them being the will-then-be-new Christians to spread His Word to other people. At this time also, the other people will also hear about this alternative viewpoint, and will also start believing on those heresy. It would be hard for the will-be-then Christians to explain these things to them, especially with the predicted persecutions. That is, hard to explain if they do not ask help from God about how to speak about these things...
I wish I could say more, but I'm out now. And I'm hoping to get back here to this topic.
God bless you all.
