Will May 21, 2011 really be Judgment Day???

Will May 21, 2011 really be Judgment Day? Are we really at the end of the world?

The answer is, “Yes.” May 21 in the year 2011 is it. This is all the time that God has allotted for salvation in this world. There will be five months additional time in the world, but it will be five months of torment. This torment will primarily be due to the fact that there will no longer be any salvation possible for the inhabitants of the earth. Therefore, May 21, 2011 is Judgment Day. It is really, for all intents and purposes, the day of the end, even though it will not be until five months later—on October 21 in 2011—when God actually destroys the earth and the universe and this whole creation.

God is not doing this out of the blue. In the Bible, God has often told mankind of His plain intention to destroy this universe. Why is God going to destroy it? Because God created man good but man has brought the judgment of God down upon himself with his sin, in his sinful rebellion against his Creator.

We read of God’s intention to destroy this present world in 2 Peter 3:10 where it says:

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

This is also stated very clearly in 1 John 2. God tells us in 1 John 2:15-17:

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

It is out of concern that God commands us to not love this world. We are not to get too attached because it is only here temporarily.

How much more true is this today? Our time left is extremely short. The time that we have left from now until the end of the world is coming very quickly. Like sand dropping out of an hourglass, the time is almost gone.

It is obvious that God will one day destroy the world. I say this because the Bible states this matter-of-factly for individuals who believe the Bible, and it is God’s people who believe the Bible. For the ones whom He has given faith and salvation and an understanding of His Word, they absolutely believe that the Bible is the Word of God. Therefore, of course, God intends to destroy the world because this is throughout the Bible in various places.

Since this is the case, the question that must be asked at this point is, “Why not now?” Why not now? Are we not ripe for judgment; that is, this world that we live in and the church world also?

As we see the churches and congregations everywhere in the world fall away from the truth of the Bible, we really have to ask ourself the question, “Has not the sin of this world far surpassed the wickedness of any past generations? Can we look back in secular or church history to find a more wicked people?”

Some people like to point to the Roman Empire and say, “Well, they were immoral.” A lot of bad things are said about the Roman Empire; but, actually, we find in the pages of the Bible that when the Romans were in view, they had a very high regard for the law.

So I do not think that this is arguable. I think that this is very obvious to all of us today. We know that we are in uncharted waters. As far as it comes to wickedness, we are extremely more evil than any people who have ever lived upon the earth. The hearts of men have grown cold in this day like never before. The world is most definitely ripe for judgment.

Likewise, the churches and congregations of the world have fallen away from truth. They disregard what the Bible teaches on point after point after point. They go their own way. They teach their own doctrines. They develop their own music. They even develop their own translations of the Bible, a watered-down gospel, watered-down translations, worldly music, and doctrinal teaching after doctrinal teaching in error and in opposition to what the Bible says. There has never been a time in history like now when, really, the whole world with one voice is crying out to God for judgment.

When we share that the Bible teaches that the end of the world is coming in 2011, that Judgment Day is May 21, it is very significant that people do not say—at least I have not run into anyone who has said this—they do not say, “Well, God cannot judge the world. Look at how much progress we are making as a human race. Look at how we are progressing in love and care. Our society is at least making some progress in goodness.”

Absolutely no one thinks this or says this. They might say, “Oh, you cannot know.” People in the churches very significantly say, “No man knows the day or hour; this is why it is not going to happen.” However, they do not say, “Look at the churches. Look at how faithful the congregations are. Look at how they so desire to obey God and His Word. Look at their diligence as they study, study, study to correct their doctrine.”

No one says this. Absolutely no one! It is very obvious for those who have eyes to see that the church of our day is exceedingly sinful and has fallen away.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:3, God tells us that the Day of Christ will not come:

…except there come a falling away first…

Will May 21, 2011 really be Judgment Day?

If we look at the world of our day and if we look at the church world of our day, we can certainly see how it is most appropriate. If God brings judgment on that day—and He will—then nobody can say that it was unfair. No one can say that they should not have experienced the judgment of God.
