Obviously, the collapse did not occur and, right on time, the world's computer systems joined humanity as we waltzed into the 21st century without losing modernity.
But as September approaches, some are warning of a much more provable threat – one rooted in the Jewish religion and in history – called the Shemitah Year, a 3,000-year-old mystery that is remains part of the Jewish faith.
What is the Shemitah? It is the "Sabbath year," which is also known as the sabbatical or sheviit; the seventh year of a seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah, Judaism's religious guidance, for the Land of Israel.
As reported by CBN's "The 700 Club," Shemitah "is about the events happening in America and around the world that were predicted to the time and date of occurrence" based on writings and interpretations in the Torah.

Religious historical reference
Some believe the Shemitah portends a "day of reckoning" for the United States.
As reported by WorldNetDaily in June, a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision allegedly hastened that day:
With the climax of the Shemitah year now just three months away on Sept. 13, America continues to saunter down the path of defiance to the will of God, say Christian leaders, inviting judgment on the land.
The latest affront to biblical sensibilities came this week when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Americans born in Jerusalem must not have "Israel" listed on their passports as their place of birth, saying the city remains part of disputed territory....Such a move could provoke Muslims to violence, President Obama's U.S. State Department argued, so the passport should say "Jerusalem" not "Israel." Congress took the opposite stand, and the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the executive branch.
While that may not seem important to most Americans, InvestmentWatchBlog provided further evidence that the "seventh year" is again upon us:
Rabbi Johnathan Cahn noted that the Shmitah in 2001 caused the stock market collapse at the end of September, and then in 2008 the Shmitah also caused the economy trouble. The next Shmitah happens to be at the end of the 29th day of Elul this September.
The site goes on to list a dozen other examples that seem to support the claim that another Shemitah year is upon us.

Disturbing trends?
Carl Gallups, pastor of Florida-based Hickory Hammock Baptist Church, host of a Christian radio show and author of "Final Warning: Understanding the Trumpet Days of Revelation," agrees that time is growing short, WND reported.
"There can be no doubt that there is an amazing convergence of end-time prophecies occurring right before our eyes," he told the news site. "Think of where we are in history – Israel is back in its land – a 2,500-year-old prophecy fulfillment – Jerusalem is in the hands of Israel, the nations of the world are rallying against Israel, including the U.S., and Israel is now literally surrounded by Islamic enemies who are publicly calling for the complete destruction of the Jewish state."
There are additional signs that something is in store. First, as noted by AllNewsPipeline.com, there are a number of long-term storable food retailers experiencing a run on their products, leaving them short on some and completely out of stock on others, with restock times as long as 3-4 weeks.
In speaking to some retailers, the site reported that the rush on supplies appears to be tied to "some September event."
Others note that the secretive Jade Helm 15 military exercise, begun in July, is scheduled to conclude in mid-September.
If the September event transpires, the only one you'll be able to rely on is yourself.

When things are out of balance, there is a great tendency for things not to work.
Too much stress makes you sick while too much rest makes you lazy.
Too much spending makes you a shopaholic while too much saving makes you a hoarder.
Too much eating makes you fat while too much dieting makes you skinny.
Too much emphasis on prosperity does not necessarily imply it is a sign of God's favor. Too much emphasis on poverty as a sign of closeness to God is equally erroneous. Both extremes are not good ways to understand how God's kingdom principles work.
But there is one thing that you will never get out of balance when it comes to the assurance of your salvation or eternal life for it is the most important gift that you must receive from God especially now that we are in the last days.
Speaking of the last days is the reason for this blog and to make us aware of any impending perils or disasters that might caught us off guard. We must be able to discern the signs of times by knowing and validate the current news around the globe and always be prepared more than ever for the soon coming of our Lord "Jesus Christ," the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

To Christians and servants of God: While the purpose of this blog is to prepare us both spiritually and physically and to make necessary preparations before any emergency or crisis could happen, do not be caught up or paranoid and be scared of the date and times about any impending perils or disasters but instead be more useful to God, doing what you are told to do in season or out season especially in sharing and preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Though no one knows about the exact time or date of the Rapture or His soon return, let us be watchful and spiritually vigilant, always abounding in the work of the Lord knowing that your labor of love will not be in vain, be the salt and light in this dark world. God bless us and always be guided and empowered by His Holy Spirit.

Biblical Perspective:
"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Matt. 24:6,7,8,14)
"And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment," (Heb. 9:27)
"...behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (2 Cor. 6:2)
