Don't mock too much, remember the story of Jonah. Ninevah was to be destroyed, Jonah was sent, they repented and G-d held off from destroying them.
Prayer and repentance can hold off time-wise that which is prophesied without date. It is the people who think they know the mind of G-d who dare to try and change that.
So I guess today was the day the Earth was supposed to end...anybody see the fire?

tulc(is just sayn')Deuteronomy 18:20-22 said:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Here is how my day went.
I was awoken by the sound of yelling. The cause was a bunch of students gathered over at the football field, with the cheerleaders screaming:
"Gimmie a T!"
"Gimmie a U!"
"Gimmie a L!" (they are cheerleaders, mind)
"Gimmie a C!"
"Whats that spell?"
And the crowd replied with "The Apocalypse!"
Then a hoard of Zombies lurched onto the field from the visitors section, all going JustOneWay. Then I saw Death, riding a DarkHorse. The horse kept saying "brinny, brinny, brinny..." There was a mother selling beer. A NightHawk with only one eye was sitting on her shoulder. An Armoured car drove by covered in Daisies. One of the zombies was making a tink tink sound as he shuffled by and the cheerleaders said "oh that is so cute." Suddenly all the cheerleaders tilted their heads down and pointed behind me, chanting "scorn!" I turned to see a guy driving a mini-van-chevy, wondering why he was ever born.
I saw fire in the end zone. A Monk was there, trying to immolate himself. However he was chopped into submission by a Cowboy who knew Karate. A Bear came up behind me, and growled that the One-thousandth and Sixth in the line of Grandviziers liked my post, but that the Four-hundredeth and Fifty-First in the line of Cows did not. There was a Seashale eating Sea Oats by the Sea Shore. The sky darkened as the sun was obscured by a Super Cloud. I wanted to go home but I had missed the last Flight of the Night.
I walked toward the gate, but stopped when I saw someone lying on the ground. I was told his name was Ben, and that someone has Stamped on him. Then everyone starting singing "Its a Family Tradition!" I rented a car from Avid Rent-a-Cars. The radio was playing "In Vino Veritas," a song by KW Crazy and the Sunshine band. The Audacious DJ was telling me to Light my Mind. I thought that would be Messy.
I drove home and sat back down on the couch, eating a Patchwork Orange.
Strange day.
On the other hand I have been really sick the last week so it could have been the meds...
How many times did Jonah give false predictions?Don't mock too much, remember the story of Jonah. Ninevah was to be destroyed, Jonah was sent, they repented and G-d held off from destroying them.

Wasn't it supposed to end last month, too? Twice, I think, the 23rd and 28th were both dead certain this-time-for-sure locks, IIRC.
You have internet in heaven! And here I thought we had it down here only because obviously, it's the devil's tool.I was raptured away, ya'll are missing out, it's great up here in the clouds!
Maybe those people are gamblers. If it didn't hit on the first two, it's just gotta hit on the third!What I do find a bit comical is that certain names show up more than once on the list ...why would anyone take them seriously the 3rd time after they were wrong about the their first 2 predictions?
I slept through it! Just like with earthquakes... I always hear about it from someone else!So, you're telling me the end of the world came and I missed it?

You misunderstood what I was saying. Exactly as you say the bible does not give a time or date yet these people make 'predictions' not prophecies.Lulav said: ↑

And yet the bible tells us that we will not know the time nor the date, so where in the world are you getting that prayer and repentance can do anything to put off the end of the world?
Well, making fun of them may not be the nicest thing but I draw the lane at actually killing them for making a false prophecy:
tulc(is just sayn')
If they are not making prophecies then we are not mocking prophets, rather, we are making fun of people who rely on their own understanding to try to out think God.What are you 'just sayn'?
Why did you quote from Deuteronomy, where did I say anything about killing anyone? As I said above, they aren't making prophecies, they are making an hypothesis from the information we have from the bible, current events, and interpretation.
I'm sure you could find a better use of your time?I have a prophecy.
In the year 2020 a month will come, it will be called, "April".
This month will be irritating for anybody who has a stoner friend, more so than usual, for no longer will it just be April 20th... no...
It will be, April 2020! It'll be like a regular 4/20 but more irritating!
The level of irritation will increase until April 20th where it will reach max irritation at 4:20 am and continue until 4:20 pm, the irritation levels will begin to slack then before finally beginning to rapidly decrease as the day turns into the 21st.
BEWARE THE MONTH OF TRIBULATIONS!
BEWARE THE MONTH OF IRRITATIONS!
BEWARE 04/20/2020 4:20 AM 4:20 PM!
