Question: Hello, Brother, What are your thoughts on this preacher who predicts that the end of the world will start next week, on May 21st?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r) Dear Padraic Glynn: Jesus said, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only" (Matthew 24:36) Anyone who claims to know the end of the world is either an idiot, deluded, or demonically inspired. Regardless of which it is, such a person is certainly a false prophet. These false prophets continue to set date after date. They are no deterred when their predictions do not come true. Camping's last end-of-the-world date was September 1994. What is amazing is that people still follow these false prophets even after their predictions fail to come true over and over again. Such a person will be held accountible before God for the fear and anxiety he causes to the weak in faith. God Bless, Bro.
