Bus Benches Claim to Reveal Return of Christ

While waiting for your next bus, you may have an urge to prepare yourself to wait for Jesus. Bus benches around Colorado Springs say: "Save the Date: Return of Christ, May 21, 2011."

Marie Exley of Colorado Springs paid for these ads with her own money after seeing a similar billboard in Texas even though she's in between jOBs.

"I decided to try to go out on my own and do what I could to get the message out myself," says Exley.

She says her jOB until Judgment Day is to spread the word.

"It's basically by faith I'm going out there and putting myself out there and allow people to think I'm crazy. I'm sure people in Noah's days thought he was crazy," says Exley.

The ads were made by the people who created the website WeCanKnow.com, based out of Ohio. The site is dedicated to telling people of the return of Jesus Christ.

A spokesperson for the website says the date comes from the Bible and having an understanding of God's Word as He reveals it to people.

Jerry Jenkins co-authored the fictional "Left Behind" book series, which chronicles the Earth's final days. Jenkins says he believes we should also be ready for the return of Christ, but he doesn't believe in a set date.

"If Jesus himself doesn't know when He's returning, I don't think we know either," says Jenkins. "I think its folly to predict the timing, but yeah, I think it's a great discussion and I applaud anyone who brings up the subject."

The bus benches in Colorado Springs will be up for about three months.

As you wait for your next bus, save the date. By the way, May 21, 2011 is a Saturday.

We have a radio station hear called family radio. It is Harold Camping's station, and he teaches that Jesus is coming May 21, 2011. This article made me think of him right away. The first time I heard him say it, I called my sister up right away and told her she is going to have a surprise on her birthday! I told her that Jesus is coming on her Birthday. Of course she laughed and said riiiiiiiiiight.

Boy do I sure wish Camping would sign something that would leave all his radio stations and belongings to me on May 21.

Amazing God let these people know the date but He didn't tell Jesus or us!

Hmmm, maybe I should forget thinking of getting AC for the house next spring since it won't warm up that much before May 21 anyway.

Yes, No A/C will be needed up there.

Well, I guess we know which day Christ won't be coming back...

LOL John. I am so tired of these date setters. Well said!

I just don't understand why people keep doing this when the Bible tells us that no one knows the day nor the hour.

Do you suppose some people who do this let old Satan lead them, deceving them, into thinking God has given them special revelations, perhaps through the Holy Scriptures to the time Jesus will come for His own.

A friend told me that he had heard that on Family Radio, so I looked on their website, and sure enough, there it was.
