Set A Date = Get It Wrong!

Sorry kids, but anyone who sets a date for their prophecies invariable get it wrong. Even Joana, when he said to Nineveh; “40 days an then Judgment” got it wrong… well, we will never know whether he was wrong, or whether Nineveh “got it” and repented in time and were saved, but he was not proven right on his date either. It seems God doesn’t like appointments.

How many other prophets are “off” on their dates, sometimes to huge embarrassment? So The Mayan Doomsday date of December 21st, 2012 is probably not happening either. I can caste multiple doubts on that date without much effort: least of which is the fuzzy nature of our dating system (Calendar) verses the Mayan long count calendar – I mean really, who correlated these two numbering systems and do you trust them?

Let me put it another way… any “history” that dates back more than 10 generations (10 X 70 year generations) or 700 years is necessarily suspect : 10 generations should be considered as “living memory” and should be suspect enough, but any time prior to living memory is really suspect. Anyone that tells you differently, be they historians or anthropologists, are working from “ego” and not fact.

I am not discounting all prophecy, only prophecies that use dates. If a prophecy uses a “temporal marker” like “when you see the Red Heifer, then duck!” or “when the sun rises black as sackcloth for three days, then duck” these prophecies are far more likely.

So don’t get your knickers in a twist net month… There is plenty that could go wrong before them or on that date, but it won’t go off as the doomsayers relate.
