End Times?

[Faun]

END TIME SIGNS

1. False Bible teachers would be money hungry. They would be smooth talkers, have many followers, and slur the Christian faith (2 Peter 2:1-3)

2. Homosexuality would be increasingly evident at the end of the age (2 Timothy 3:3)

3. Earthquakes would be in diverse places (Matthew 24:7)

4. Stress would be part of living (2 Timothy 3:1)

5. Many wars would erupt (Matthew 24:6)

6. People would forsake the Ten Commandments as a moral code, committing adultery, stealing, lying, and killing (Matthew 24:12)

7. There would be a cold religious system, in denying God's power (2 Timothy 3:5)

8. Men would substitute fantasy in place of Christian truth (2 Timothy 4:4). This is so evident at Christmas when the birth of the Savior is lost behind the myth of Santa Claus.

9. Deadly diseases would be prevalent (Matthew 24:7). The worldwide increase in AIDS deaths is almost inestimable. Over 160,000 Americans die of cancer each year.

10. The fact that God once flooded the earth (the Noahic flood) would be denied (2 Peter 3:5-6). There is a mass of fossil evidence to prove this fact, yet it is flatly ignored by the scientific world because of its uncanny implication.

11. The institution of marriage would be forsaken by many (1 Timothy 4:3)

12. There would be an increase in famines (Matthew 24:7)

13. Increase in vegetarianism would increase (1 Timothy 4:3-4)

14. There would be a cry for peace (1 Thessalonians 5:3)

15. The possession of Jerusalem would be at the center of international turmoil (Zechariah 12:3)

16. Knowledge would increase (Daniel 12:4)

17. There would be hypocrites within the Church (Matthew 13:25-30)

18. There would be an increase of religious cults/false teachers (Matthew 24:11 & 24)

19. The future would seem fearful to many (Luke 21:26)

20. Humanity would become materialistic (2 Timothy 3:4)

21. There would be many involved in travel (Daniel 12:4)

22. The Christian Gospel would be preached as a warning to all nations (Matthew 24:14)

23. Jesus said Christians would be hated "for His name's sake" (Matthew 24:9)

24: And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:25-26).

25: Youth would become rebellious. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy (2 Timothy 3:2)

26: Men would mock the warning signs of the end of the age saying, "for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." (2 Peter 3:4). The Bible even reveals their motivation, they love lust (verse 3). They fail to understand that a day to the Lord is as a thousand years to us. God is not subject to the time that He created. He can flick through time as we flick through the pages of a history book. The reason He seems to be silent, is because He is patiently waiting, not willing that any perish, but that all come to repentance.

There's one critical sign missing which is necessary for world to come to an end ...



... Gays will be legally allowed to marry each other. Now when THAT happens, kiss your ass goodbye!

 

[HaShev]

Thanks for clearifying that, then it means that site is dancing around the verse and they prove my point.

As Jews, we dwell on progressing and moving forward not dwelling and self fulfilling end of life, so there are no signs for end times.
Dan 12 signs deals with our going to and fro gaining knowledge (internet), to validate this; the word computer is in the Bible code for Dan 12: 1-4.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Greatest Generation hasnt quite passed from the scene and alrdy we are back to .....THE JEWS.........and are hell bent on totally isolating them

 

[shimon]

End of Times is a misnomer...It is End of Days ... This completely makes sense to me as the removal or end of the worshipping of the DAY Star and replacing it with the NIGHT star.... We are told when reciting the passover hagadoh all the days of your life are the days of your life but the NIGHT
S belong to the times of the messiah... So it is not some terrible time it is just the end of the times of the days progressing into the times of the nights..It is not a catastrophic event it is just a natural progression painfull for some but pleasent for others depends on which side of the equation you are sitting on....

 

[ninja007]

You know, every generation that is facing perilous times has felt that way, kjw47. It doesn't surprise me that people would be expecting Jesus to show up any day now. Before Mao took over? The Chinese Christians were waiting for the rapture. They believed Jesus Christ would show up. It was their tribulation but not the tribulation. Likewise when WWII happened? There were Christians who thought this is it! This must be the tribulation. But it wasn't. It was their tribulation but not the tribulation. Again -when the early Christians were being fed to the lions and crucified by the Romans they most likely expected the return of Jesus.

EXCEPT not ALL these things were taking place at the same time and Israel was not a nation.

Sounds like stuff that's been going on since before the bible was even written. Some prophecy

Seriously, "the youth will become rebellious"??? No way!

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

You know, every generation that is facing perilous times has felt that way, kjw47. It doesn't surprise me that people would be expecting Jesus to show up any day now. Before Mao took over? The Chinese Christians were waiting for the rapture. They believed Jesus Christ would show up. It was their tribulation but not the tribulation. Likewise when WWII happened? There were Christians who thought this is it! This must be the tribulation. But it wasn't. It was their tribulation but not the tribulation. Again -when the early Christians were being fed to the lions and crucified by the Romans they most likely expected the return of Jesus.

EXCEPT not ALL these things were taking place at the same time and Israel was not a nation.

While that is true, Ninja, consider that the North Korean Christians are suffering in tremendous tribulation - yet it is not the tribulation. Same goes for Christians in Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and other nations throughout the world. While it is true these Christians are suffering through a tribulation it isn't the one spoken of in Revelation. Is it near? I believe it is. Will it come before I leave this earth? I do not know. I know we are living in the end days. Clearly we can see that these are the end times spoken of in the Bible. The tribulation is a specific timeline and we are not there yet.

 

[HaShev]

End of Times is a misnomer...It is End of Days ... This completely makes sense to me as the removal or end of the worshipping of the DAY Star and replacing it with the NIGHT star.... We are told when reciting the passover hagadoh all the days of your life are the days of your life but the NIGHT

For all they know the end of world war 2 was the end of days when we defeated the 2 sun symboled flags.
Or Since everything is describing struggles with Assyrians, Babylonians, & Rome and Saddam was emulation of Nebuchadnezar then End of Days is the removal and overturning of the opposite entity his son UDay as the emulation of Belshazadar. Or for all we know it's further with the removal of Baal luciferous sun worship or Opus Dei or the Vatican's light of this world as the lady clothed in the sun.
But actually Day=ages in comnentary on Genesis creation in 7 days=ages, so end of days is "end of the age".

 

[pillars]

No. I think it's just us here on this planet, and the more that we search outside ourselves for someone to rescue us, the longer it will take for us to fix things.

I suppose I should add butter and red meat for dinner and donuts for breakfast, skip the workouts and enjoy candy bars for brunch and between meals snacks. If and only if I believe in an apocryphal book which has a number of different versions.

 

[shimon]

Well That is interesting Michael....So we are technically in the Messianic Age with the Rebirth of GDS son Israel....Course end of the Age could mean literally the End of "Aging" meaning that we will be able to stop Aging and since they found the gene that causes aging I believe in the Univ of North Carolina many years ago they could impement it if they so choose.....Interesting Times........

Those sitting at the end revealing the stages of ages
to the past and the process not yet known to them eventually catches up to the time they both meet.
Think about that carefully.

Future Predictions Of Nostradamus: 21st century


Nostradamas had some interesting concepts about End Times.

The 3rd and final Anti-Christ

According to Nostradamus, the first two anti-Christs were extremely evil, and history has shown this to be


News world daily
so; however, Nostradamus speaks of a third anti-Christ who is more hideous than
all the others combined. Some have said Sadaam Hussein, the dictator from Iraq
(proved false now), or even Osama Bin Laden. Could he be this evil tyrant?
Others say that he has not yet appeared. What does Nostradamus say about this
third anti-Christ? First, Nostradamus tells us he will come from the Middle
East.

Out of the country of Greater Arabia Shall be born
a strong master of Mohammed,

He will enter Europe wearing a blue turban.

He will be the terror of mankind.

Never more horror.

Here, Nostradamus says that a man from Greater Arabia will lead his forces on an invasion through Europe. This invasion will start a third world war that will be far worse than all the other wars put together. When will all this take place? In one quatrain Nostradamus gives us an exact date in which the war will be well under way.

In the year 1999 and seven months

From the sky will come the great King of Terror.

He will bring back to life the King of the Mongols;

Before and after war reigns.

Nostradamus predicts the war will begin shortly before the year 1999. It doesn’t make much sense to this author, but many are now saying that the ‘war’ was set ‘in motion’ in 1999, and now after Septermeber 11th these things are going to come true… as we are now ‘at war with terror.’ Interpret it how you will. He also tells us how long the war will last.

The war will last seven and twenty years. (so 27 years)

Nostradamus says that the war will be so terrible that the world will come face to face with final annihilation. Here, he implies that the war might involve some kind of horrible weapon, possibly nuclear. Nostradamus tells what the first target will be.

The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.

Fire approaches the great new city.

In this phrase, Nostradamus refers to a great city in the new world of America near forty-five degrees latitude. Experts agree this could only be New York. I know many of you are thinking of other websites that claim this means he predicted September 11th. Again, interpret it how you will. The sky did burn at 45 degrees, but New York was not destroyed, nor was it a nuclear attack.

By fire he will destroy their city,

A cold and cruel heart,

Blood will pour,

Mercy to none.

Although Nostradamus ‘s predictions for our future sound frightening, the accuracy and dates he gave do not seem to flow. Are they being misinterpreted, or are they just plain wrong? Is the New City at 45 degrees yet to be destroyed? He does give us some hope by telling us how this third world war will end. He says it will end as a result of an unexpected alliance.

When those of the Northern Pole are united,

In the East will be great fear and dread…

One day the two great leaders will be friends;

Their great powers will be seen to grow.

The New Land will be at the height of its power:

To the man of blood the number is reported.

Again, the new land was a common term used by Nostradamus to refer to what we now call America. The countries of the northern pole could be Russia and the United States. We have recently seen the breakdown of Communism in Russia and an increasing friendship between Russia and the U.S. Perhaps the two countries will work together against the source of evil.

The End of the World

Of course, not only have the “experts” on the prophets not always been correct – the seers themselves have not always been quite so accurate in their forecasts. Although people keep claiming that “it’s the world will end” they often ignore
other prophecies he wrote. Nostradamus NEVER said the world would end in 1666, 1999, 2012, 2096, or any of those years. In fact, he was quite clear we would survive through all of these other conflicts, and if we took it upon ourselves, we could change / prevent what was indeed going to happen.

Time will tell if the Iraq conflict or, indeed, the World Trade Center attack
had put the spark to a bigger barrel. As for the end of the world…
Nostradamus predicted it to be the year 3786 or 3797, depending on which
Nostradamus expert you believe.

Conclusion
So, some of the historical events may have Nostradamus predicted were the war with Napoleon, the American Revolution, the Civil War, the rise and the fall of Hitler, events in the British monarchy such as the abdication of Edward VIII, and the assassinations of Lincoln and John and Robert Kennedy. He also predicted three reigns of terror by persons he named as ?antichrists?.

What Nostradamus did prophesy was that a great war would come sometime during the last five years of the 20th century, presaged by famine, drought and a series of other natural disasters. This war will last close to 30 years, after which there will be one thousand years of peace, or a new golden age.
Nostradamus quatrains did not go beyond 3786 or 3797. According to a letter written to one of his sons, the seer claimed this is the year the world will end.

 

[pillars]

Not worried about the world ending anytime soon, but if it does, there isn't fuck all we can do about it. So seize the day and do what needs to be done.

 

[hortysir]

When has human history not suffered from those afflictions. They are just vague or common enough to make the Bible continually relevant. The end of the world is nigh because people are not living up to code. Technology makes it worse. With a few clicks of a mouse I can bring up video of all the telltale signs of the coming apocalypse. With subtitles.

It will be as birthing pains.
Closer and closer together and more and more severe
