The End Of The World?

in My Funny Side, Song Of The Day
Today, according to Harold Camping, the world is going to end, or, at least, according to his latest update, it’s the start of the ending that’s sure to come in October 2011. There have been many predictions of the end of the world by many different people throughout history. It’s sad to me that some people are actually believing and following these self-professed prophets, even after they’ve already shown themselves to be false when their prediction did not come true!
The Bible is very clear that nobody can know when the world will end. Jesus Himself said that even He doesn’t know when He’ll return, and when it happens it will be a surprise, like a thief in the night. Don’t get me wrong, as a friend of Jesus, I will be happy to see Jesus come back to set everything right in this world, and start a whole new world where peace and love reign supreme. I just don’t think Harold Camping or anyone who claims to know when that time is are operating with all their marbles. My friends, if Jesus Himself who is God says He doesn’t know, how can any mere man know? It is that simple of a thought process to me.
This morning, as I awoke to a beautiful sunny morning and the sound of birds chirping in the distance, the song “The End Of The World” by Skeeter Davis (1962) popped into my head, with a few revisions of my own. I have included the Youtube video of the original song, in case you don’t know it. Hope you like my sense of humor. 
The End Of The World 2 (or Ode to Harold Camping)
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
‘Cause Harold Camping is so sure?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
Aren’t Harold Camping’s words enough?
I wake up in the morning and no wonder;
Look, everything’s the same as it was.
I do understand, yes I do understand,
How life goes on the way it does.
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
‘Cause they know it’s not the end of the world
And Harold Camping’s told a lie.
