Are We In The End Times?

[rhern53]

Everything the bible spoke has happened except for all tribes n languages heard about christ and the amount of martys are complete in heaven. These two things r happening n r near to completion. Only when the great comission is complete n the martys r comp#lete in heaven will the world end n so as it is near completion in terms of the world knowing christ, most probably n i am 99.99% sure the world would end this century. Jesus said we would not know the day or hour but mentioned in terms of happening we will roughly know it is near. God gave us scripture in terms of events so that we will know it is near. This is to prepare us in terms of living a good life knowing the end is near. Got gave us ample clues n only short of the exact day so that we r prepared like the bridesmaid with oil.

Yes are right about some things. Where are you from and is there anyone else studying with you. My name is Robert.

I like to teach from the bible. I like the King James Bible it is an old bible version.

Many of the newer bibles version that change the words which at times changes the meaning of the passage.

Let me start with these passages. It is from the Old Testament but it is about the future.

It is about the second coming of the Lord, the first day, The Day of The Lord who we know as Jesus.

Zechariah 14 King James Version (KJV)
1 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,
9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Please read the whole Chapter so you can understand what is happening. If there are too many people in this Web Posting you can email: [email protected] ..ask any questions

I do believe that the End is really upon us.

In Isaiah 46 God said:

8 “Remember this and stand firm,
recall it to mind, you transgressors,
9 remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me,
10 declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
11 calling a bird of prey from the east,
the man of my counsel from a far country.
I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
I have purposed, and I will do it

God declared the End from the Beginning.

God does not lie.

There is a lot of prophecies in the bible from the first verses of Genesis revealing when the end will be. All we have to do is decipher them.

It is a long discussion and lots of material.

God bless us all.

 

[ChickenBawkBawk]

Amen, friends. Let us keep our holy zeal for The Lord and let not this world steal our affections away from Him!

 

[Elijah God's grace Okwi]

In the acts of the Apostles, the desciples of Jesus expected his imminent return so they prepared for it vigorously..... As days passed on into month then years they realized only God knew the time though deep down then they were like "Jesus if you come even now IAM ready and am making everyone ready". To them we ought not to know the day or hour but be ready at all times. I am willingly ready are you......

 

[Hi-Friends]

Gimme a break. Apocalypse being predicted every year for 20 centuries. Not that our world won’t have an end

 

[r1xlx]

Do you believe that we are in the very end times, where Jesus can return within the next 100 years or so?

Matthew 24:36 - But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

I think the 10 December 2018 barbecue the FalseJew-Caananites (Acts 7) held in Jerusalem was the start of the 7 years tribulation.
Fires, floods, epidemic, hail, locusts, droughts, Christian Donald signing PEACE with pagan Muslims, financial problems, Boeings troubles, Catholic and JW pedophile scandals - surely we have never seen such a total in all history?
I'm a Christian and don't worry about the future but no doubt when pagans come knock down my door and sey 'bow to allah or lose your head' I will be scared.

 

[PloughBoy]

One thing for sure, you are updated and taken notice. While many are in a stupor.

If this were the case then who on the world stage would you say is the antichrist as we should be able to see him. He comes in to power as the solver of all the problems.
I for one see no one in the public eye solving anything as of yet.
We all as countries or unions have our own currency and no country as of yet has gone completely cashless, that doesn't occur until 2023 with Sweden. That said it's extremely
premature to say that the tribulation period has begun as Jesus says "there shall be GREAT TRIBULATION such as was not since the beginning of the world......" Don't see that either. I do see a world that is getting smaller and smaller in an economic sense as most countries rely on one another to sustain their economies. This will eventually lead to digital world wide currency and a mark in order to stop hacking/theft or at least will be portrayed that way. There is a company called SOMARK that has been doing invisible ink tattoing of animals since 2008 and can be read with an RFID scanner. The whole tattoo process takes less than 10 seconds and can include just about everything imaginable about a persons biometric markers.
I see no temple rebuilt in Israel much less anyone sitting in the temple claiming to be God.
And as there has not yet been the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom to all the world as a witness as this will be very noticeable to those of us who are believers.
About all I see these days is false doctrine and bake sales and congregational gatherings to do a lot of singing but no real teaching. But that is to be expected as God does not teach wisdom to any other than those that have been drawn from the breast and of age to consume solid food. Only milk and soft cookies in the organizations these days.
We could go into the last kingdom that arises into power on the face of the earth through a platform of peace and prosperity, and the 7 heads, with 10 horns but that would take a while. Suffice it to say that KING # 3 has been seated as of 2019. And #11 is he that sits in the temple showing himself to be God.

Perfect Love casts out all fear thus you were somewhat judged already by your own words.

 

[r1xlx]

Is that pre trib or post trib you speak of? Pre trib is a false doctrine!! Why would God test and try those that came before us all the way to their death and not the last of us? Do we not require this testing and trying for refinement as well?

Rapture occurs just at the peak of the plagues and wars when it looks like humanity will be wiped out.

 

[Samson2020]

Rapture occurs just at the peak of the plagues and wars when it looks like humanity will be wiped out.

Matthew 24:29-31 says exactly when that will occur and correlates with the opening of the 6th seal. But for clarity look at the 5th seal opening and see what takes place prior to the 6th.

 

[Born Again 2004]

Whether you are still here when He returns or you die first, you will be with Him regardless

Rapture occurs just at the peak of the plagues and wars when it looks like humanity will be wiped out.

I think that's referring to the beginning of the 2nd coming or at the Very end -- Rather than the time of the rapture.

 

[Sue D.]

Whether you are still hear when He returns or you die first, you will be with Him regardless

Yes, born again believers will be.

 

[Born Again 2004]

I want to be here and I want to be raptured but ,I must say I will more than likely die first...
In either case, I look forward to being with Lord!

 

[Sue D.]

According to your bio info -- we're the same age. My Mother lived to be 98. So we never really know.

That's a wonderful thing to look forward to.

 

[Peergint (Peer]

WOW!! What a good subject this is.
Last days, your message here is very profound and needed to be heard.
I believe we are much closer than most people think.
From what is happening in the world, coronavirus, world leaders talking about a "One World Government" to fight the virus, Bill Gates wanting people to have implants to enable them to track people for health and "other" reasons - mark of the beast perhaps - prophecies regarding Israel coming true, nations appearing to align themselves to the north of Israel, Russia, Iran and Turkey, and they are certainly involved in the Syria conflict, the European Union becoming a United States of Europe - albeit without Britain thank goodness. Things seem to be setting up for the beast and the anti-Christ in Europe. Just seems to me we are heading for the return of the Lord sooner than we think and we need to be ready.
Also, sin is increasing in intensity as prophesied. Men are inventing ways to be evil.
Romans 1:28-31 New King James Version (NKJV)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [o]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgement of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
2 Timothy 3 New King James Version (NKJV)
Perilous Times and Perilous Men
3 But know this, that in the last days [a]perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, [b]unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Add to this the false teachers like Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, Jesse Duplanits, Joseph Prince, Joel Osteen, Rodney Howard Brown, Benny Hinn and the like. They will deceive many, even the elect.

I believe the days of the Gentiles are coming to an end and apostasy is rising within the church.

We must watch and be ready, for the Lord is coming very soon.

God bless you all.

 

[Born Again 2004]

Yes he is coming soon but what is more likely, you will die first, either way we are with the Lord
GOD says he is spirit and we must worship him spirit and truth. The truth of the matter is Jesus is spirit also, God says we will share in all of Jesus's inheriance... that will be in the spirit world, God's realm, not in the physical...whether he returns to gather his church or you come into his presence after you die, it is all the same. Our challenge is to prepare for the spiritual, are you ready?

 

[Peergint (Peer]

On the question of being ready. I would like to deepen my relationship with Jesus. I think there are many who say they are Christians who haven't taken their faith seriously enough. I believe that now, especially with this awful virus, and other world events, is that time to get serious.
I think there are many who have been like the prodigal son and , not so much walked away from the faith, but slipped back into our old ways a bit, maybe even a lot. I know I have struggled with my faith over the last few years, but things are now "back on track" if I could use that term. God is faithful, so much more than we are and He understands. His grace abounds so we must get serious because we don't know the time when Jesus will return.
Am I ready? Maybe not yet as I want God to use me as He will for the benefit of others. If he takes me soon I will go. I just would rather be raptured out and not die.
Is anyone really ready? I would definitely say some are and some like me are not quite, but that's me. If God takes me then He knows if I am ready or not.

 

[PloughBoy]

How would we address this?
Could it be “Mid-night” now, “[Covid-19]”. Meaning time to trim our lambs?

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: 4but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. 7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. 9But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. 11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
