Abstract
I take no pleasure in writing this.
There are false prophets right now among us preaching that the world is ending. Ignore them. They are distracting from the truth. Worse, those who pay attention to them may be led astray. Jesus taught us to be wary of such individuals because “if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew 24:24).
Consider these six things.
1. Only God the Father, Not Even Jesus, Knows When the End Will Be
Jesus taught plainly, “But of that day and hour [when the end will come] knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36, emphasis added).
Anyone claiming to know when the end is nigh is claiming to be God the Father. They are to be ignored.
