Putting an end to end-times

The Editors

“Judgment day is almost here.” That is the message some people are sending out, according to a recent Associated Press wire story. They are warning that the end of the world will be coming this spring—on May 21, to be exact (www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40885541/ns/us_news-life/).

Those who expect the trumpets to sound on that day say the calculation is based on their careful reading of Scripture. And their hope is that it’s not too late for people to heed the warning and be among those who go to heaven, saved, when Christ comes a second time to judge humanity.
