judgement day?

well, would u believe today is judgement day and the end of the world and that kind of thingy! which brings to my mind, ms skeeter davis's, best known pop classic, the end of the world from the year that was several decades ago, in the year 1963.

says who?

this is according to one mr harold camping, 89, a retired civil engineer who has a multimillion-dollar christian media empire.

He has also predicted judgment days on May 21, 1988, and September 7, 1994.

my comments:

i don't know why there will always be attempts by anyone to predict when our world will be coming to an end because Jesus himself says no one except the Father knows when the world will end as quoted in Mark, Chapter 13, verse 32 which says:

"but about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

it is truly sad that many will choose to believe in all of these doomsday predictions and some will even drop everything and head for the hills to await the coming of the end of the world.

an analogy on the end of the world thingy which i shall illustrate is seeing many people here live like there is no tomorrow and worst, borrowing everything they can to the hilt to finance their conspicious lifestyle.

i have always been asked who is my competition and the answer is rather obvious (or not so obvious).

you may guess it should be the life insurance tied agency, bancassurance, direct channel or even priority and private banking, right?

well, honestly no. i hold the view that my competitor has and will always be this thingy which i term, conspicious consumption. this is especially so because we are living in an age of instant gratification or 'i must have it syndrome'; whether it is to see the world, eating and dressing well or aspiring to own the 5Cs, which is all too seductive because the latter displaces wealth protection planning from occupying the topmost priority.

but i will continue to soldier on (by God's grace)........
