Just about everyone knows that this is the date the Mayans say that the end of the world is to take place. Or so says Hollywood. In actuality this is the date that the Mayan creator/destroyer god is scheduled to return. According to a recent documentary on the history channel. They said that this God lived in a city in the sky with an army of metal birds. they also have a documentary showing casing different artifacts including models of these "metal birds" or rather solid Gold representations Planes or "sky Ships" as the history channel guy described. Not to mention they had a very accurate map of all of the coast lines in the Atlantic Ocean (Including the land mass that is now covered by Ice in the Antarctica.)
Now from a Christian perspective it is very easy to identify these "sky gods" as being false gods.. But what if...
What if they came bearing proof that they were the ones who Planted Adam and Eve on this planet or this "eden." Or, saved Noah and His family, or Gave Samson his strength, or Gave Solomon his wisdom, or Gave power and prophesy to the prophets or Yes, Even Gave Marry Her Baby?!?!?!
What if They had Some sort of video "proof?" What if they still had the actual "Man" who was called the Christ? What if we all got to put our hand in his side or touched where the nails went through? What if He could answer all of the questions that Atheists, Scientists, or even the most devoutly religious had? Again what if He had not only undeniable "video" proof (Or better yet bring people back to witness for themselves) of all of this??
what if everything he said really checked out? What if He had truthfully undeniable proof of who he was? Again, what if ABSOLUTLY everything checked out except one or two biblical inconsistencies? What if He explained these inconsistencies as "errors" that was introduced into the cannon of scripture by man, either by hook or by crook?
what if He had the original letters or the original books hand written by the apostles themselves that showed that "Christianity" was indeed corrupted by subsequent generations? that His "sacrifice" was not to set Christianity apart, but to unite all beliefs under one god? Again if this "man" has the absolute proof what is there to contest his claims?
What if he could unite the world in peace? now what if He wanted us to take a token, or wanted to identify ourselves to segregate ourselves (believers of the true or revealed Christ) From those of us who could not let go the "old" understanding of God? Those who fought against the New understanding of Christ in the name of their old God. Where would you stand where would your faith be if this Man, this "Christ" had all the answers to satisfy one's intellectual needs and religious needs? How could one argue if one's system of value is based on the absolute infallibility of evidence and the logic derived from said evidence? Where would you be if this Christ could full fill all of your Spiritual needs?
If you are not aware already The Christ I was describing was a sci fi interpretation of the Anti Christ. One based in biblical truth. He will be all this world needs, He will be the answer to every question. He has to be if He is going to unite us under one world religion and fool us into taking his mark even after so many of us are diligently looking for it.
The only defense for us is to not be spiritually needy or hungry. this can only be done with a solid relationship with the holy Spirit. If your's is not as strong as you know it could be then simply Ask, Seek and knock as Luke 11:5-13 tells us. We Ask in prayer, we seek in the bible, church and places like this, we knock by repeating this process till we get what we want.
12/21/2012 will come and go and no matter what may or may not happen. the real question is will you be ready to defend your faith from yourself, and how you have been taught to process and accept our media based life styles? we in Christianity think we are often times exempt from foolishness of the world only to be caught off guard or lulled to sleep by our own popular interpretations of scripture.
A follow up that broaden the meaning:
I think this world and especially the way western society holds "proof and evidence" at such a premium, that The Anti Christ will be able ride that wave into our lives. all of our lives atheists and religious alike.
It will be Because we all have been trained (All of our lives) to look to evidence first. If we hold evidence to a higher regard than we hold God then we will be subject to the logic that the "evidence" will provide. Leading many in the faith to this "true christ." Once we take this into consideration, Revelations or parts of it anyway, seem to make a little more sense.
Shortly there after there will be a great segregation of those who believe in the "old God" and the new one. The Remnant of the Church will be lumped into the same group as radical Islam. (Which should be foaming at the mouth at this point, and looking to strike down this "christ." maybe in the way of a head wound.) Moderate Islam will be Incorporated in the whole one world religion, just like luke warm christianity. This will be the reason to take the mark. so as to segregate the "crazies" from the believers of the "true christ."
I honestly do not think that the "rapture" will be a widely recognized event. At least not in the sense that the "left behind" series would have us believe. I am thinking a disease or biological weapon designed to take out all who do not get inoculated.(At the time you take the mark of the "true christ") Something that can be triggered or turned on and off quickly and in a controlled manner. Either way i do not think it will be a pleasant experience.
