2012

Jesus warns us that in the end of age things like these will happen:

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Matthew 24:29 (NKJV)

Obviously we see some sings here in the heavens. Something will have to happen in space for these signs to appear. A possible change is coming to our solar system in the year 2012. It is believed something (some say a planet, others say its a comet) will come into our solar system and that something will either hit earth or pass by closely. I don't think this celestial body will hit earth, but i do think that it will cause these sings that Jesus was talking about in the heavens to show up. Also, the word "comet" and "2012" is found in the bible code. (for more on this topic visit: 2012-comet.com). This upcoming even in the year 2012 could also be in another prophecy in the bible which I will discuss in another blog.

The book of Revelation, chapter 8, also speaks of a comet impacting earth:

7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10
Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.

11
The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. (NKJV)

If Apostle John's visions in the book of Revelation were written in the order in which they will occur, this comet will come after other sings including: a great earthquake, the sun turning black and the moon turning red and the disappearance of islands and mountains (Rev 12:12). But also in order in Revelation these things happen before the Anti-Christ rules the earth. Some say the book of Revelation was not necessarily written in order of events, so some things in the book that are written in the later chapters could actually happen before. Either way we have to be prepared, most importantly spiritually, knowing that we have an eternal life in Christ Jesus and He will protect us from the things to come as He promised:

John 16:33 (NKJV) These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Accept Jesus as your personal savior, confessing your sins to Him and you will have the assurance of eternal life.

John 3:16: 16 (NKJV) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Here's the prayer of salvation, or if you prefer you can make your own prayer in your own words, either way Jesus is just looking for an honest and pure heart

Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent. I ask you to forgive me. I believe that you died on the cross for me, to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life, I give it to you. Help me to live every day in a way that pleases you. I love you, Lord, and I thank you that I will spend all eternity with you.

Amen
