Is Judgment Day Saturday, May 21,2011 ?

Will Jesus Christ return this Saturday?

Will this Saturday be the end of the Christian Olympics, the most enormous and longest competition the world has ever seen?

There are many groups claiming that on May 21,2011, what is known as the Rapture, the return of Jesus Christ for His followers, will take place this Saturday.

Could this be true? Is it possible to predict the day that Jesus Christ will return?

Answers to questions about the return of Jesus Christ can be found in the Bible’s analogy of a Jewish marriage in biblical times. Jesus Christ is called in the scriptures the bridegroom. And the Church, the spectacles in the Christian Olympics, or Christians are known as the bride of Christ.(St. John 3 :29, Romans 7:4, Ephesians 5:22-32,2 Corinthians 11:2 ,Revelations 19:7). In the Jewish custom, the bridegroom had to leave his father’s home and travel to the potential bride’s home. In order to purchase his bride from her father for a price. Jesus came from His Father’s home in heaven, to earth the home of His potential bride. He died on the cross and purchased His bride with His own blood from Satan the brides father(St. John 8:44, 1 John 3:8-10,1 Corinthians 6:20, 1 Peter 1:19). Then the bridegroom left and went back to his father’s house. After Jesus rose from the dead, He went back to His Father’s house in heaven (Acts 1:11).

The bridegroom would now start preparing a place in his father’s house for his bride. Before Jesus went back to heaven, He said that His Father’s house had many mansions and he was going to prepare a place for His bride.(St.. John 14:1-2)

Time would elapse while the bridegroom prepares for his bride. In the meantime the bride would prepare for marriage. When the bridegroom was ready he would travel to his bride’s home with his wedding party to take his bride to live with him. Although the bride knew that the bridegroom was coming to get her, she did not know when, so she had to be ready at anytime. When Jesus Christ finishes preparing a place for His bride, the Church He will come back for her in the sky with His heavenly host (St. John 14:3, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18).So the Church, the bride of Christ has to be ready at any time.

The analogy of a Jewish wedding is also used in the parable of the ten virgins. To further illustrate and to emphasize that no one will ever know the day or the hour that Jesus Christ will return. Our only instructions are to be prepared to go and to watch. (St. Matthew 25:1-13).

Are you prepared ? Are you watching? Are you looking for Jesus Christ to return ?He could return any day, any hour, any minute, or any second.

It could be today, tonight, or while you are reading this. You can prepare yourself right now to go with Jesus Christ when he comes back by praying this prayer:

Dear God:

I believe that I am a sinner. I am sorry. Please forgive me for my sins. I do not want to go to hell when I die, but have eternal life in heaven with you. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is God, who became a man to die in my place. I receive His death and the blood that He shed to wash my sins away as payment for the penalty of my sins. I believe in my heart that you raised Jesus Christ bodily from the grave. I now receive your gift of eternal life. Thank you for saving me from hell because of Jesus. In His name I pray. Amen.

The Flames Have Been Lit For The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics AND THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS...........

The flames were lit for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games on October 22, 2009 in Olympia, Greece. Keeping up with an ancient tradition there was a lighting ceremony for this exciting event. Olympia is the home of the Olympic flame and it was where the ancient Olympic Games took place about 3,000 years ago. There are many references to these ancient games throughout the Bible. And the Christian life has been compared to an Olympic competition.

According to tradition, the flames are always ignited in Olympia, Greece. The sunlight is used to ignite the Olympic flame by focusing the sun on a metal reflector. After the lighting ceremony, the Olympic Torch Rely began by transporting the Olympic Flame to Athens, Greece, where the first modern games took place in 1896. It arrived in Athens on October 29 for the handover ceremony, where the Olympic Flame was handed over to the Canadians for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. In attendance was Greek's President Karolos Papoulias and Her Excellency the Right Honorable Michaëlle Jean, who is the Governor General of Canada.

The Olympic Flame arrived in Victoria, the capital of British Columbia on October 30, which started the Canadian Olympic Torch Rely and the count down to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. The Torch Rely will run its course for the next 106 days to arrive on February 12, 2010 just in time for the Opening Ceremonies in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Which is the second largest country in the world. This will be the third time that Canada will host an Olympic event. This Torch Rely is to be considered the longest in Winter Olympic history, traveling all throughout Canada.

But there is another competition known as the Christian Olympics that began over 2,000 years ago with the lighting of the flame of fire, at the divine Opening Ceremony, that still burns today. This is the longest and largest running competition in the world. The flame still burns today because there has not been a closing ceremony in order to extinguish the flame since it began. And when it will close remains a mystery, but what we do know according to the Bible, it could happen any day, any hour, any minute, any moment, at the twinkling of an eye. Until then there is still time to go for the gold.


The Christian Olympics: Going for the Gold Crowns is the unveiling of the Bible’s comparison of the Christian race to the Olympic Games. Why is the Christian life compared to the Olympics? Because Christians are in an Olympic competition too, a spiritual athletic competition such as spiritual boxing, hurdling, and wrestling. When Christians see themselves in an Olympic game, it helps them to better understand and survive the Christian life. Becoming victorious through their difficulties, hardships and the trials that they face everyday. You would be amazed how seeing your self as an Olympian will help you through your problems and circumstances. And how to be an overcomer of the temptations of the devil.

Michael Phelps Confessing....Josh Davis’ Medals Missing.....

It appears that we have marched through the months of March and April without any Olympic scandals.
As you will recall, during the month of February, Michael Phelps, who has won the most medals than any Olympian, made the headlines. But it was not what the world was expecting. Apparently a photo surfaced catching him in the very act of smoking marijuana. Even though he apologized, he disappointed his fans, lost an endorsement, and was suspended by USA Swimming.
As if that was not enough in the same month, Olympian Josh Davis reported that some of his medals were missing. Davis who does motivational speaking, takes his medals with him to show to young people. After returning from a trip, he left them in his unlocked vehicle while attending a basketball game. Later he noticed that the medals were missing from his travel bag. Thankfully a couple of days later they were found.
What will be the next shocking news in the media about an Olympian? Will there be any surprises this month? Be assured that this is not the first and will not be the last. Those that receive Olympic medals are not flawless and will make mistakes. The medals of gold, silver, and bronze are a valuable, tangible commodity and can be lost or stolen
But you will never hear about Christian Olympians that have received their gold crowns making mistakes, being an embarrassment, and a disappointment. Because they will not actually receive their Gold Crowns until they go to heaven. Which is a benefit because they will never have to worry about rust corrupting it or thieves breaking in to steal their Gold Crowns. (St.Matt.6-19-21)Do you think that maybe, just maybe, this is why God planned for it to be this way ?

2007 P G A Championship

More than any other sport, golf is the sport whose success in winning determines how golfers think and what is on their minds before and while they are swinging their golf club.

The mind and thought pattern of spectacles in the Christian Olympians are also extremely important to win the competitions. By not having our minds conformed to this world, but by having our minds renewed (Romans 12:1-2).

Wimbledon 2007

It was reported at Wimbledon that one of the champions' stated that not only does he play his game of tennis but at the same time he has to deal with the mental anguish and stress that is also part of the game. In the Christian Olympics we may also experience mental anguish and stress. But if we keep our mind on God, He promises to keep us in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3)

AT&T USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships

It was exciting to watch the USA Track & Field today. It was very similar to Christians running the spiritual race. The runners displayed their endurance capabilities. They showed their strengths, muscles, and talents. All of their training and practicing paid off. Even though all of the runners finished the race, only the ones' that were the fastest were declared the winners. But one of the differences is that in the spiritual race all finishers are declared winners no matter how long it takes for them to reach the finish line.
