Jack noticed an unusual sign in Great Falls the other day, warning people that The End Is Near. How near? About five weeks. To be precise – May 12, 2011. If that’s true, then the movie “2012” will be remembered only as pure fiction, rather than a valid prophecy and dire warning.
There are actually several of those signs around town…they are based on the prediction by Harold Camping (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Camping). He has predicted the end of the world before, in September 1994 I think, which obviously didn’t come true.
Being Christian myself, I don’t take a whole lot of stock in these predictions. I tend to lean more towards the bible where it says, in Matthew 24:36 that “Of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my father only” I guess if it is true, there isn’t a whole lot we can do about it….
