Your right DA, it has been predicted many times. That's prolly the reason why most people reject God today. However, don't allow a few bad apples to hurt you in a way that can't be fixed and is utterly permanant, you were created to last for eternity, whether that eternity is spent in heaven or in hell is up to you and you alone don't allow someone else to take something from you they don't have the right to take. Most of those people were saying the things they were saying for their own personal reasons, fame etc... in my own opinion those people are a detriment to the church and to God and should be kicked out of the church but that's not my decision to make. This is personal between you and God, and that's the way God looks at it too. Ignoring it/him can only be bad for you in the end.
ALOT of Christians are talking about this now, they see things happening today which is believed to match ancient prophecies on a level not ever seen before in history, and i have to agree. Jesus said to be ready when he came back, i don't believe i'll have the time to repent when what ever is going to happen happens, so i'm going to be ready regardless. I have suffered enough in my life and i have no intentions of suffering one day longer than i have to. I was also an athiest at one time, however God has a way of getting your attention when he knows the time is right, Usually it's when things go bad for you, he got my attention a few years ago. Now no matter whatever happens in this world for the rest of my life i'll NEVER doubt that the things i experienced were real and completly validated Gods existance to me. The same thing can happen to anyone who wants it to happen or just wants to know the truth, but it won't happen when you are not willing to allow it to happen or are not openminded enough to accept it.
