All day today many very dedicated Christians as well as a lot of superstitious Chinese people will be pondering over the date and its significance.
Frankly, I can overlook the Chinese who have quite and obsession with numbers, but Christians???? Come on!
Why is it that Christians seize every opportunity to panic over imagined significance in everything from particular dates to when then planets line up, or someone sees the Virgin Mary"s face reflected in a pool of oil in Saudi Arabia.
Basically, so many Christians have absolutely nothing to do with their time, and so many spend what time they have digging into bizarre theories.
For instance, take the matter of dates. Any student of history knows how many times the calendar we use has been changed. Roman and other Emperors and Kings changed the calendar to reflect their own particular whims. "The Church" changed the calendar over many centuries to suit a particular doctrine or teaching.
If God has a calendar, I doubt much if His says 08.08.08 today! Therefore to try and draw a conclusion or teaching from this is absurd and beyond reason!
Strange how we are pre-occupied with little "weird and bizarre " teachings whilst the world "goes to hell in a bucket" with the complicity of a sleeping church, who tries to show its spirituality in strange and wonderful things drawn at random from the air.
Ah so! Keith we have to keep the troops occupied till the Second Coming
