IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD

 

Reason why December 21, 2012 11 by 11 am is not the end of the world.

By Dr. Richard Vincent V. Narag

1. The Gregorian Calendar has made a 10-day discrepancy.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered to add ten (10) days to October 5, 1582 making it to become October 15, 1582. Due to the overestimation of ancient Egyptian astronomers Sosigenes of about 11 minutes a year – a year that leads to 10-day difference between the Julian and the Solar Year. The latter was closely associated to the Mayan Aztec Calendar.

So, to follow the Gregorian Calendar will lead us to conclude that the date today, this very day, is 10 days advance than the Solar Year. That means instead of identifying this day as December 19, 2012, it should be December 9.

2. The Biblical prophecy about the total darkening of the Sun.

According to the Holy Scriptures on the following verses, Matthew 24:29, Mark 13:24, Revelation 6:12, Isaiah 13:10, Micah 3:6, and Joel 2:31, that the sign of the end of the world is ‘when the sun is darkened.’ The Biblical prophecy states that once it happen, the sun will no more give its light.

Matthew 24:29

Immediately after the tribulation on those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, the stars shall fall from the heaven and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken.

The verse above signifies that when the sun darkens to its fullest potential there will also be loosening of its gravitational force causing the heavenly bodies including the stars, moon, asteroids, comets, meteors to fall from its intergalactic alignment causing collisions. The Earth will also be shaken. There will be polar shifting, as prophesied by Isaiah in Isaiah 24:20.

Last March 2012, the last image of the Sun shows that there is about 5-10% darkening of its surface which is scientifically known as ‘sun holes.’This proof literally is not enough to depict the end of the world this 21st of December, 2012. Yes, the earth will come to its end but it will take many more years for the sun to totally lose its glow.

3. Planet Nibiru or Planet X does not exist.

Planet Nibiru is known to collide with the earth in an elliptic orbit every 360 years. In 1984, the closer inspection of this planet revealed that this body is not a planet but a distant galaxy.

4. No one knows the exact time of the end of the world.

Matthew 24:36 says, “But the day and the hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but Eloah (God the Father) only.”

But for those who like a clue, the end of the world will come during a time of advance civilization like the time of Noah which was far advance compared to our known time.

During the time of Noah, there was high sophisticated way of living. There existed flying machines, helicopters, submarines, space crafts as depicted on the carvings at the Abydos Temple in Egypt and Nazca landing strips in Peru. They also had advanced computer technology known as Antikythera whose remains was found in Greece. High-powered weapons also existed, even portals (one in Peru) to other world dimensions. The downside was, men in those days were so evil that the Creator of the Universe regret he made man.

Matthew 24:37

But as the days of Noah were, so shall e the coming of the son of man (Jesus Christ).

Do not be deceived by people who tells you this or that is the exact time of the world’s end. Instead, repent and prepare for the Lord’s coming.

‘Prepare to meet thy God.’ Amos 4:12

Believe in the Lord Jesus (Yeshua) Christ and you will be saved. Acts 16:31

I tell you, nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3

Life, Defined

Toa55

Almost unheard, Congressman Manny Pacquiao defined life in 3 seconds:
“That’s life; sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.”

Yes, I live a life too; that’s for real. I’m proud of Mr Manny Pacquiao. Always a winner. And his wife and children are so blessed that he is their father.

More Outside the Ring

“…although we feel the impact of this loss…let me say, at least for me, you still are a real life hero. You’ve always known how to win, and now you show that you know how to lose as well. Yes Marquez won, but there will be other bigger challenges you will overcome outside the ring, and it will prove that you aren’t just a boxing champ but a real winner for the God who still has so much more victories for you in all aspects of your life. I stand with u my bro. This loss doesn’t define who and what u are in the eyes of God.” Gary Valenciano

When he tweeted this, my heart leaped for joy. It confirms what may heart says as well. Manny Pacquiao will always be a Filipino pride and hero, and a humble servant before the LORD.

Memoire

from freedigitalphotos.net

Three young teens passed by my table as I sat silently chewing a piece of burger in my mouth. Then two middle-aged men with smile on their faces followed them and have them all seated around 3 tables placed side by side.

This sight created a lump on my throat and tears easily welled in my eyes. It made me recall of my green days in college. It was a moment of struggle if I can go for further studies after highschool or not due to financial difficulties in the family. That was when I thought, will I ever get to college?

God opened a window for a light to shine through my clouded faith. I did not know him personally, except for one thing; he has the heart to help me. Mario ‘Bobby’ Heriales’ walked into my life.

Kuya Bobby, as I casually call him, was a publisher of then Silangan Shimbun in Japan. He was also one of the main providers of calling prepaid cards which were readily available to his Pinoy kababayans overseas, mainly in Japan, where he found a living.

A heart to help and a drive for education, those were his tools to keep on reaching his dreams. Those same forces moved him to sponsor students in their studies.

I was blessed enough to be chosen as one ofhis scholars. I remember that day of desperation. The scholars’ slots were all taken. The only way I could thought of was to personally talk to him via distant phone call and plead of him.

If for him that was a chance to take; but, for me, it was the last option left. God must have seen the sincerity of my heart. In four years, he patiently sustained me and alleviated the burden of my family. He took the load of paying for my tuition fees with a promise that I should do my best in school. I did my part, just as he hoped, and finished college with flying colors on common Alma Mater.

Philantrophs around us are a gift from God. Though some of them opt to remain unheard, the evidence of their hard work shouts out. Every brimming smile that a person returns after successfully getting through the expected course with another’s help is a simple note that the sweat paid off. How much more when the tangible help reached their personal life in the future?

This philantroph heart, I should say, is contagious. I believe that I, too, am on my way to passing this good gift forward. Forever I will thank Kuya Bobby for being there when the going for me got tough.
