The Last Great Day has passed all over the world...and nothing "biblical" happened yesterday. I do not revel in being correct about such things. I actually WANT to be wrong because it would greatly benefit the church, the brethren, and the world. The return of Jesus Christ would be a wonderful, joyous thing because it would benefit those I care about. (Even if I am to be gathered and cast into a fire to be destroyed because I left the church…I would still want that for others.)

In one of my parting conversations with a head minister at Headquaters, I posed this query: "So, Mr. Pack is an apostle and God is working with him. He sets a date for the return of Jesus Christ. The moment the words come out of his mouth, I know it won't happen. It comes to pass nothing does happen. Mr. Pack, the apostle, was wrong. I'm nothing. I'm just a lay member, yet I was correct. How am I supposed to process that? I'm right, but ‘the apostle’ is wrong? Again and again?

“If you say God is guiding Mr. Pack to come to these conclusions and God knows His Son is NOT going to return that day, then that makes God a liar. If Mr. Pack is simply following where God leads him, that makes God a knowing deceiver who is not only tricking Mr. Pack, He's tricking the entire church. The God of the Bible that I read about doesn't do that. Jesus Christ would not do that to His sheep. That is not a God I want to worship.”

The minister did not have a solid answer besides things like, “We can’t always know how God is working. He tests us all in various ways. God knows what He is doing. These things test our faith.”

God “tricks” the wicked, not His people.

But what do I know? After all, I’m just an antichrist.
