Non-Revelations

Preachers Pretending To Know The End Of Days When They Definitely Don’t

Misguided, unhinged religious dummies like to predict exactly when the world will end, when we know they have no clue.

Another day, another loser yelling that the end is near. And we always know one thing — they’re going to be wrong. They’re always wrong. They’re never close to being right.

The Bible tells us this about the end of humanity:

“Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.”

Mark 13:31–32 (New Living Translation)

The Bible clearly says no human will predict the end. There’s currently 8 billion people on Earth. So there’s a possibility of 8 billion wrong guesses.

[Sidenote: If we have everyone guess a day each, in consecutive order, for the next 8 billion days, we protect the Earth for 8 billion more days!]

So, you get some wannabe current-day prophet, who desperately wants to tell us the exact day. Which means he either:

A. Hasn’t read the Bible.

or

B. He’s hoping we haven’t read the Bible.

Because it’s quite clear — no one knows when the end will be. Ever. If you’re a Christian, at least.

Maybe different religions can try and guess the end, but everyone is wrong. Earth pre-dated humans and they’ll outlast them (hopefully with global warming, the thing God really is trying to warn us about). Earth also outlasted the beginning to end of every dinosaur.

Why do others try to predict the end?

Attention.

Good or bad, greedy or not, they want attention.

There’s no way God told this person the expiration date of the planet. But they pretend they have some amazing one-on-one connection that we’ll never have with The Almighty. We laugh at this person. We know their prediction won’t happen.

The local newscasts are only more than happy to show these people because it’s a good laugh. It works every time, because they’ve been wrong, every time.

Maybe their congregation has taken them seriously up to this point, and after their head of church announces their prediction, they get a big spike in attention. It’s just temporary though.

No one takes them seriously ever again after they’re proven wrong.

After their wrong prediction, we then know whoever they were taking to was definitely not God. Or maybe, if they’re lucky, God seeked them out just to lie to them, to make them look like a fool. But in the end, of their religious careers, we all know they’re just crackpots who are delusional.

It’s a lose-lose situation to predict the end. It’s career suicide.

Personally, I think it’s the best is when they get rid of everything, since they’re so sure there will be no tomorrow. Then the next day, they have nothing professionally or physically. That’s punishment enough. We gloat, or are delighted at the sight of this, because we know, they never should have made a public prediction in the first place. It’s a mockery to Christianity to predict with certainty when it will all end.
