“All the relatives are going to stay at my place New Year’s
Eve because all the computers are going to crash and there will be no
power. We have a wood burner and have
stocked up food for the last few months” a church member told me. “Do you want
to come over, too?”
“No, I believe my God is bigger than Y2K. Besides with time
zones, we will know it is happening on the other side of the globe long before
it happens here.” They still met
together, absolutely sure that the world as we know it would end and we would
be thrown back 200 years. We would have
to use oil lambs for light, wood for heat, horses for travel and no microwaves!
It looks so silly in retrospect. There are teenagers that never experienced
the collective panic of Y2K. They would be so proud of their parents because nothing
happened that night. Everything went on
as before. Alarmists everywhere
scrambled to save face.
There is something to be said about being prepared for the
future. The Bible does say that the
world will end and that no man will know when that will be. The way to prepare
is not to stock up on weapons, food and water in order to survive, but to trust
Christ as Savior and have your eternal destination settled. Plus, there day-to-day blessing of having
Jesus accompany those that have gotten saved.
No need to panic. No need to fear
another Y2K.
“But of that day and
that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the
Son, but the Father.” Mark 13:32.
