THE END OF THE WORLD IS ALMOST HERE! HOLY GOD WILL BRING JUDGMENT DAY ON MAY 2I,2OII
JUDGMENT DAY is feared by the world and is the day that God will destroy the world because of the sins of mankind. The world is
correct in believing that Judgment Day will come. The Bible gives us the correct and accvrate information about that Day.
The Bible is the Holy Book written by Holy God who is the Creator of this beautiful world. The Holy Bible is without question a very
ancient book, having been completd about 1,900 years ago. In its original languages (mostly Hebrew and Greek) it has never been changed, and each and every word in the original langages is from the mouth of God. The Bible is divided into two parts (the Old Testament and the New Testamen|, with each part divided into many books. Each book is divided into chapters,
and each chapter is divided into verses. One of the books is named Second Timothy Q Timothy). In Chapter 3, verse 16 A Timothy 3:16) of this book Holy God tells us: eer{ll Scripture rs given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.o' In Jeremiah36:1-4 God gives an example of how the Bible wun written:
"And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, thut this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Take thee a roll of a boolq and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. It may
be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I pwpose to do unto them; thait they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which He had spoken unto him, upon ^ roll of a book lthe roll of the book is the Biblef;'
Holy God is far, far greater than our human minds can even begrn to explain or underctand. In Genesis 1:1 God declares: ooln the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The Holy Bible is a book written to us so that we can know that Holy God created this beautiful universe, including all of its plants and animals, birds and sea creatures, and mankind who was created to rule this earth. Indeed there is no being of any kind that can compare with Holy God, who simply by speaking brought every kind of plant, animal, sea creafure, and mankind, sun, stars, etc., into existence. For example, Holy God tells us in His Holy Bible in Genesis l:242.6:
*And God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it wus good. And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fhh of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." The people of the eafih, which we call mail<ind" were created to rule over this ear1h. God gave laws by which we can live as happily and wisely as possible. He wams, however, that the
breaking of those laws is sin, and sin will bnng punishment from God. The Bible declares in Romans 6:23: ttFor the wages of sin rs death..."
The Bible teaches there is only one God. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 4:39: *Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine
hear! that the LORD He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else." Because God is so great and
glorious He calls Himself by many different names. Each name tells us something about the glorious character and nafure of God. Thus in the Bible we find such names as God, Jehovah, Christ, Jesus, Inrd, Allah, Holy Spirit, Savior, etc. Names such as Jehovah, Jesus, Savior, and Christ particularly point to God as the only means by which forgiveness from all of our sins and etemal life can be obtained by God's merciful and glorious actions. This forgiveness was made possible because Christ took upon Himself each and every sin of each and every person He saves from the wrath of God. The Holy Bible describes this astounding action as it w€N demonsfiated by Jesus, who never ceased to be God, being put to death on the cross to show how He paid for sins. He then wun raised from the grave and retumed into heaven.
That is why the Bible has much to say about those who place their complete trust in Christ, who did all the work required for their salvation. For more information on this subject, you may request a free copy of I Hope God Wll Save Me. Many books have been wriffen about the Bible, or are regarded as additions to the Bible. But however well they are accepted as a holy book, we know that the Bible is absolutely wriffen by God Himself, who is Holy even as the Bible is Holy. Therefore, God warns in Revelation 22:18: "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book."
The word "plagues" in this verse refers to the punishment of death and destruction that will come upon all those who sin. The Bible teaches that even though God loves this world, which He in His infinite wisdom created, the law of God requires that those who sin must be punished by death. The Bible sa)6 in Ezekiel 18:20: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." In Romans 3:10 the Bible declares: ooThere is none righteous lhas not sinnefl, no, not one." God must also obey His law and therefore, since all the people of the world are sinners, He finally must destroy the world. It is evident that sin in the world has become very great. The Bible warns in Jeremtah25:33: "And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end
of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground."
However, the Holy Bible tells us that Holy God is a God of great mercy, compassion and love. That is why He has given us in advance of the destruction the exact time of the Day of Judgment. The Bible tells us in Amos 3:7: ooSurely the Lord GOD will do nothirg, but He revealeth his secret unto His servants the prophets." Consequently we now can know from the Bible the exact time and many details of God's destruction plan that is to come upon the whole world. While there is still time we can very
humbly cry to God for His gracious mercy. MaFe, since God is such a merciful God, He might forgive someone who is humbly pleading with God for mercy. God promises for example n Zephaniah 2:3:'oSeek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgmentl seek righteousness, seek meekness: it mav be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger."
Holy God demonstrates for us that He is completely able to bring destruction on this whole world because of sin. The Holy Bible
informs us of this awesome fact in Genesis 6:12-13: o'And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had
corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with
violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth."
By careful study of the Bible we learn thrt in the year 4990 B.C. (Before Christ) God brought a flood of water and destroyed the
entire earth except for eight people and the animals that were with them. They were not desfroyed because God brought them into the safety of the ark. Their leader, Noah, had obeyed God's command to build a huge boat, called an ark, about 450 feet (L37 meters) long. The Holy Bible tells us in Hebrews lI:7: ooBy faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his housel by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."
Seven days before the beginning of the Flood that completely covered the entire earth, God commanded Noah to wam the peoples of the world that they had seven days to get into the safety of the ark. The Holy Bible tells us that on the I7h day of the 2nd month of that year God shut the door of the ark. Then, the Flood began to completely cover the entire earth. About 5,000 years later God wrote in His Holy Bible in 2 Peter Chapter 3 about this worldwide destruction by water in the days of Noah. kr the same chapter He also wamed that the time would come when Holy God would destroy the whole world by fire. Our entire universe would be forever destroyed. In between these two declarations of worldwide destruction that would come because of sin
God made a very important statement. God declared in 2 Peter 3:8: 'oButo beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day rs with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
God had written in the Holy Bible in Genesis 7:4: "Bor yet seven dap, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty dap and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth"" God added in Genesis 7:10-11:
*And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the Flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth dav ofthe month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heavenwere opened.tt The ark that Noah had built was the only place of safety from the destruction of the
Fiood. Likewise, God's gracious mercy is the only place of safety from the destruction that is coming on the Day of Judgment. In 2 Peter 3:8, which is quoted above, Holy God reminds us that one day is as 1,000 years.
Therefore, with the correct undentanding that the seven days referred to in Genesis 7:4 can be understood as 7,000 years, we eam that when God told Noah there were seven days to escape worldwide destruction, He was also telling the world there would be exactly 7,000 years (one day is as 1,000 years) to escape the wrath of God that would come when He destroys the world on Judgment Day. Because Holy Infinite God is all-knowing, He knows the end from the beginning. He knew how sinful the world would become. Seven thousand years after 4990 B.C.(the year of the Flood) is the year 201I A.D. (our calendar). 4990+2011-1:7,000
[One year must be subtracted in going from an Old Testament B.C. calendar date to a New Testament A.D. calendar date because the calendar does not have ayear zero.] Thus Holy God is showing us by the words of 2 Peter 3:8 that He wants us to know that exactly 7,000 years after He desnoyed the world with water in Noah's day, He plans to destroy the entire world forever. Because the year 2011 A.D. is exactly 7,000 years after 4990 B.C. when theflood began, the Bible has given us absolute proof that the year 2011 is the end of the world during the Doy of Judgment, which will con e on the last d"y of the Day of Judgment.
e--mgry,Uay2l,20ll is the 17ft dayof the 2d month of the Biblical calendar of our day. Rernember, the flood waters also began on
the 176 day of the 2od month, in the year 4990 B.C. The Holy Bible gives swoal additional astounding prooft that Nday 21,2011 is very accurate as the time for the Day of Judgment.

God is proving to us that we have very accurately leamed from the Holy Bible God's time-plan for the end ofthe world. GOD'S SUBLIME MERCY AND COMPASSION God in His Holy Bible has given us a beautiful example of His compassionate mercy. Included in the Holy Bible is the book called Jonah. In it God tells of a very wicked city with a population of more than 120,000 people that existed about 2,800 years ago. It was called Nineveh, which was a capital city of the nation of Assyria that knew nothing of the Bible. But because of its wickedness and because Holy God is merciful, He sent a prophet named Jonah to that city. Jonah's message from God to them was that in 40 days the whole city was to be destroyed. The whole city correctly believed with all their hearts that this waming was from Holy God.
Thus from the king on down to the lowest servant they repented, which means they tumed away from their sins and their pride. The Holy Bible tells us that they sat in sackcloth and ashes. This meant that they fully realized that because of their sins they had
dreadfully shamed God. To put on sackcloth and ashes was an act of supreme humility to show in the clearest way to God and to al1 of the people how greatly they were humbled by their sins against Holy God. It showed that they knew that they fully deserved that God should desfoy them because oftheir sin. But mafre, there was hope that Holy God might change His mind and instead have mercy on thern. The Bible tells us in Jonah 3:6-9: "For the word came unto the king of Nineve\ and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackclotll and sat in ashes. And he caused i to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying Let neither man nor beasto herd nor flocko taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackclotll and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way and from the violence that ls in their hands. Who can tell ir God will turn and renent and turn away from his fierce angero that we perish not?t'
In answer to their complete humility we read of God's frbulous, incomprehensible mercy toward these extemely wicked people. God tells us in Jonah 3:10: 'oAnd God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that He had said that He would do unto theml and IIe did il not" Because this entire wicked city of Nineveh tumed from their evil ways and with great humility cried to God for mercy, Ho$ God did change His mind and did not desfroy them. Sadly, the Holy Bible tells us that only a small percentage of today's world will flrm from their evil ways, and with great humility and fear will cry to God for mercy. Nevertheless, the Bible assures us that many of the people who do beg God for His mercy will not be desto@. We
leam from the Bible that Holy God plans to rescue about 200 million people (tbat is about 3%o of today's population). On the first day of the Day of Judgment QvIay 21,2011) they will be caught up (raptured) into Heaven because God had great mercy for them. This is why we can be so thanldrl that God has given us adrance notice of Judgment Day. Because God is so mercifirl,
mafe He will have mercy on you. The Holy Bible saln in Psalm 5l:17: "The sacrifices of GodI are a broken spirit a broken and a
contrite heart O God, thou wilt not despise"
And in Psalm 5l:l-3 Holy God shows us the attitude we ought to have as we pray for His mercy ttHave mercy upon me, O God,
according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin tr'or I acknowledqe mv transgressions: @o' Sadly, you can't fum to your religion or go to your priest or pastor or spiritual leader for help. They, too, should be begging God for mercy for themselves. This is a matter only between you and Holy God. God knows every one of your thoughts, words, and actions. Tum
away from your sins and humblybeg, beseech, and implore God for forgiveness. And, thank God that in His great mercy He has given you this waming of the destuction that is almost here, and the great hope that you, too, might be one whom God will bring to Heave,n to be with God forevermore in the highest happiness and joy and glory.
Holy God in the Holy Bible teaches us in Luke 18:10-14: ttTwo men went up into the temple to pray; fhe one a Pharisee, and the other a publican The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, Godo I thank thee, that I am not as other men ate, xtortioners, unjusf adulterers, or eyen as this publican I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publicar4 standing afar off, would not lift up so much as ftrir eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast sayrng, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell yot4 this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
May God have mercy on you as He did on this publican.

Yes, it's kinda a long article, I apologise, although I thought it would be good to post the whole thing. Sorry if parts of it have weird characters, this is copied from a scanned PDF that I did from the original hard copy.
So I started reading this on the train on the way home, and was reading the first half and thinking "Good, these guys are not half bad, their beliefs seem to be fairly solid". Then I got to the bit where it says that we can predict the exact date of Judgement Day. As soon as I read that, alarm bells started ringing, and many verses in the NT came to mind about the last day coming like a theif in the night, and not even the Son knows the date. So it's fairly obvious that I don't beleive we can or should bother with predicting end times dates. It's what happens and what we should do preceding that that is important, rather than the date.
Anyway, through some number calculations regarding Noah, they have predicted the end of the world on May 21st, 2011. Now, not that I believe it, but it's definately the most credible date prediction I have heard, although I admit to not hearing very many, as I tend to stick away from such matters.
Anyway, I just thought it was an interesting read. Hope you guys found it interesting, and feel free to discuss.
THE END OF THE WORLD IS ALMOST HERE! HOLY GOD WILL BRING JUDGMENT DAY ON MAY 2I,2OII
JUDGMENT DAY is feared by the world and is the day that God will destroy the world because of the sins of mankind. The world is
correct in believing that Judgment Day will come. The Bible gives us the correct and accvrate information about that Day.
The Bible is the Holy Book written by Holy God who is the Creator of this beautiful world. The Holy Bible is without question a very
ancient book, having been completd about 1,900 years ago. In its original languages (mostly Hebrew and Greek) it has never been changed, and each and every word in the original langages is from the mouth of God. The Bible is divided into two parts (the Old Testament and the New Testamen|, with each part divided into many books. Each book is divided into chapters,
and each chapter is divided into verses. One of the books is named Second Timothy Q Timothy). In Chapter 3, verse 16 A Timothy 3:16) of this book Holy God tells us: eer{ll Scripture rs given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.o' In Jeremiah36:1-4 God gives an example of how the Bible wun written:
"And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, thut this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Take thee a roll of a boolq and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. It may
be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I pwpose to do unto them; thait they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which He had spoken unto him, upon ^ roll of a book lthe roll of the book is the Biblef;'
Holy God is far, far greater than our human minds can even begrn to explain or underctand. In Genesis 1:1 God declares: ooln the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The Holy Bible is a book written to us so that we can know that Holy God created this beautiful universe, including all of its plants and animals, birds and sea creatures, and mankind who was created to rule this earth. Indeed there is no being of any kind that can compare with Holy God, who simply by speaking brought every kind of plant, animal, sea creafure, and mankind, sun, stars, etc., into existence. For example, Holy God tells us in His Holy Bible in Genesis l:242.6:
*And God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it wus good. And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fhh of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." The people of the eafih, which we call mail<ind" were created to rule over this ear1h. God gave laws by which we can live as happily and wisely as possible. He wams, however, that the
breaking of those laws is sin, and sin will bnng punishment from God. The Bible declares in Romans 6:23: ttFor the wages of sin rs death..."
The Bible teaches there is only one God. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 4:39: *Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine
hear! that the LORD He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else." Because God is so great and
glorious He calls Himself by many different names. Each name tells us something about the glorious character and nafure of God. Thus in the Bible we find such names as God, Jehovah, Christ, Jesus, Inrd, Allah, Holy Spirit, Savior, etc. Names such as Jehovah, Jesus, Savior, and Christ particularly point to God as the only means by which forgiveness from all of our sins and etemal life can be obtained by God's merciful and glorious actions. This forgiveness was made possible because Christ took upon Himself each and every sin of each and every person He saves from the wrath of God. The Holy Bible describes this astounding action as it w€N demonsfiated by Jesus, who never ceased to be God, being put to death on the cross to show how He paid for sins. He then wun raised from the grave and retumed into heaven.
That is why the Bible has much to say about those who place their complete trust in Christ, who did all the work required for their salvation. For more information on this subject, you may request a free copy of I Hope God Wll Save Me. Many books have been wriffen about the Bible, or are regarded as additions to the Bible. But however well they are accepted as a holy book, we know that the Bible is absolutely wriffen by God Himself, who is Holy even as the Bible is Holy. Therefore, God warns in Revelation 22:18: "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book."
The word "plagues" in this verse refers to the punishment of death and destruction that will come upon all those who sin. The Bible teaches that even though God loves this world, which He in His infinite wisdom created, the law of God requires that those who sin must be punished by death. The Bible sa)6 in Ezekiel 18:20: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." In Romans 3:10 the Bible declares: ooThere is none righteous lhas not sinnefl, no, not one." God must also obey His law and therefore, since all the people of the world are sinners, He finally must destroy the world. It is evident that sin in the world has become very great. The Bible warns in Jeremtah25:33: "And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end
of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground."
However, the Holy Bible tells us that Holy God is a God of great mercy, compassion and love. That is why He has given us in advance of the destruction the exact time of the Day of Judgment. The Bible tells us in Amos 3:7: ooSurely the Lord GOD will do nothirg, but He revealeth his secret unto His servants the prophets." Consequently we now can know from the Bible the exact time and many details of God's destruction plan that is to come upon the whole world. While there is still time we can very
humbly cry to God for His gracious mercy. MaFe, since God is such a merciful God, He might forgive someone who is humbly pleading with God for mercy. God promises for example n Zephaniah 2:3:'oSeek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgmentl seek righteousness, seek meekness: it mav be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger."
Holy God demonstrates for us that He is completely able to bring destruction on this whole world because of sin. The Holy Bible
informs us of this awesome fact in Genesis 6:12-13: o'And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had
corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with
violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth."
By careful study of the Bible we learn thrt in the year 4990 B.C. (Before Christ) God brought a flood of water and destroyed the
entire earth except for eight people and the animals that were with them. They were not desfroyed because God brought them into the safety of the ark. Their leader, Noah, had obeyed God's command to build a huge boat, called an ark, about 450 feet (L37 meters) long. The Holy Bible tells us in Hebrews lI:7: ooBy faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his housel by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."
Seven days before the beginning of the Flood that completely covered the entire earth, God commanded Noah to wam the peoples of the world that they had seven days to get into the safety of the ark. The Holy Bible tells us that on the I7h day of the 2nd month of that year God shut the door of the ark. Then, the Flood began to completely cover the entire earth. About 5,000 years later God wrote in His Holy Bible in 2 Peter Chapter 3 about this worldwide destruction by water in the days of Noah. kr the same chapter He also wamed that the time would come when Holy God would destroy the whole world by fire. Our entire universe would be forever destroyed. In between these two declarations of worldwide destruction that would come because of sin
God made a very important statement. God declared in 2 Peter 3:8: 'oButo beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day rs with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
God had written in the Holy Bible in Genesis 7:4: "Bor yet seven dap, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty dap and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth"" God added in Genesis 7:10-11:
*And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the Flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth dav ofthe month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heavenwere opened.tt The ark that Noah had built was the only place of safety from the destruction of the
Fiood. Likewise, God's gracious mercy is the only place of safety from the destruction that is coming on the Day of Judgment. In 2 Peter 3:8, which is quoted above, Holy God reminds us that one day is as 1,000 years.
Therefore, with the correct undentanding that the seven days referred to in Genesis 7:4 can be understood as 7,000 years, we eam that when God told Noah there were seven days to escape worldwide destruction, He was also telling the world there would be exactly 7,000 years (one day is as 1,000 years) to escape the wrath of God that would come when He destroys the world on Judgment Day. Because Holy Infinite God is all-knowing, He knows the end from the beginning. He knew how sinful the world would become. Seven thousand years after 4990 B.C.(the year of the Flood) is the year 201I A.D. (our calendar). 4990+2011-1:7,000
[One year must be subtracted in going from an Old Testament B.C. calendar date to a New Testament A.D. calendar date because the calendar does not have ayear zero.] Thus Holy God is showing us by the words of 2 Peter 3:8 that He wants us to know that exactly 7,000 years after He desnoyed the world with water in Noah's day, He plans to destroy the entire world forever. Because the year 2011 A.D. is exactly 7,000 years after 4990 B.C. when theflood began, the Bible has given us absolute proof that the year 2011 is the end of the world during the Doy of Judgment, which will con e on the last d"y of the Day of Judgment.
e--mgry,Uay2l,20ll is the 17ft dayof the 2d month of the Biblical calendar of our day. Rernember, the flood waters also began on
the 176 day of the 2od month, in the year 4990 B.C. The Holy Bible gives swoal additional astounding prooft that Nday 21,2011 is very accurate as the time for the Day of Judgment.

God is proving to us that we have very accurately leamed from the Holy Bible God's time-plan for the end ofthe world. GOD'S SUBLIME MERCY AND COMPASSION God in His Holy Bible has given us a beautiful example of His compassionate mercy. Included in the Holy Bible is the book called Jonah. In it God tells of a very wicked city with a population of more than 120,000 people that existed about 2,800 years ago. It was called Nineveh, which was a capital city of the nation of Assyria that knew nothing of the Bible. But because of its wickedness and because Holy God is merciful, He sent a prophet named Jonah to that city. Jonah's message from God to them was that in 40 days the whole city was to be destroyed. The whole city correctly believed with all their hearts that this waming was from Holy God.
Thus from the king on down to the lowest servant they repented, which means they tumed away from their sins and their pride. The Holy Bible tells us that they sat in sackcloth and ashes. This meant that they fully realized that because of their sins they had
dreadfully shamed God. To put on sackcloth and ashes was an act of supreme humility to show in the clearest way to God and to al1 of the people how greatly they were humbled by their sins against Holy God. It showed that they knew that they fully deserved that God should desfoy them because oftheir sin. But mafre, there was hope that Holy God might change His mind and instead have mercy on thern. The Bible tells us in Jonah 3:6-9: "For the word came unto the king of Nineve\ and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackclotll and sat in ashes. And he caused i to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying Let neither man nor beasto herd nor flocko taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackclotll and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way and from the violence that ls in their hands. Who can tell ir God will turn and renent and turn away from his fierce angero that we perish not?t'
In answer to their complete humility we read of God's frbulous, incomprehensible mercy toward these extemely wicked people. God tells us in Jonah 3:10: 'oAnd God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that He had said that He would do unto theml and IIe did il not" Because this entire wicked city of Nineveh tumed from their evil ways and with great humility cried to God for mercy, Ho$ God did change His mind and did not desfroy them. Sadly, the Holy Bible tells us that only a small percentage of today's world will flrm from their evil ways, and with great humility and fear will cry to God for mercy. Nevertheless, the Bible assures us that many of the people who do beg God for His mercy will not be desto@. We
leam from the Bible that Holy God plans to rescue about 200 million people (tbat is about 3%o of today's population). On the first day of the Day of Judgment QvIay 21,2011) they will be caught up (raptured) into Heaven because God had great mercy for them. This is why we can be so thanldrl that God has given us adrance notice of Judgment Day. Because God is so mercifirl,
mafe He will have mercy on you. The Holy Bible saln in Psalm 5l:17: "The sacrifices of GodI are a broken spirit a broken and a
contrite heart O God, thou wilt not despise"
And in Psalm 5l:l-3 Holy God shows us the attitude we ought to have as we pray for His mercy ttHave mercy upon me, O God,
according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin tr'or I acknowledqe mv transgressions: @o' Sadly, you can't fum to your religion or go to your priest or pastor or spiritual leader for help. They, too, should be begging God for mercy for themselves. This is a matter only between you and Holy God. God knows every one of your thoughts, words, and actions. Tum
away from your sins and humblybeg, beseech, and implore God for forgiveness. And, thank God that in His great mercy He has given you this waming of the destuction that is almost here, and the great hope that you, too, might be one whom God will bring to Heave,n to be with God forevermore in the highest happiness and joy and glory.
Holy God in the Holy Bible teaches us in Luke 18:10-14: ttTwo men went up into the temple to pray; fhe one a Pharisee, and the other a publican The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, Godo I thank thee, that I am not as other men ate, xtortioners, unjusf adulterers, or eyen as this publican I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publicar4 standing afar off, would not lift up so much as ftrir eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast sayrng, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell yot4 this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
May God have mercy on you as He did on this publican.

Yes, it's kinda a long article, I apologise, although I thought it would be good to post the whole thing. Sorry if parts of it have weird characters, this is copied from a scanned PDF that I did from the original hard copy.
So I started reading this on the train on the way home, and was reading the first half and thinking "Good, these guys are not half bad, their beliefs seem to be fairly solid". Then I got to the bit where it says that we can predict the exact date of Judgement Day. As soon as I read that, alarm bells started ringing, and many verses in the NT came to mind about the last day coming like a theif in the night, and not even the Son knows the date. So it's fairly obvious that I don't beleive we can or should bother with predicting end times dates. It's what happens and what we should do preceding that that is important, rather than the date.
Anyway, through some number calculations regarding Noah, they have predicted the end of the world on May 21st, 2011. Now, not that I believe it, but it's definately the most credible date prediction I have heard, although I admit to not hearing very many, as I tend to stick away from such matters.
Anyway, I just thought it was an interesting read. Hope you guys found it interesting, and feel free to discuss.
