      You want to keep thinking that there is a mystical God coming to claim the Human Race and bring them to a higher meaning, is complete foolishness, but is your right to believe.

      However, to make this quite simple- There is NO END of days coming anytime soon.

      But, I do find your point to be skewed and a quite negative aspect about Life on Earth. With that said- I shall let you get back to doing whatever it was you were doing.

      If you're unaware- I have no religion or religious belief. I reject all religious mystical faith, due to the fact that our minds don't deal in the mystical word, but much more in reality, because it is what we see and know.

      Have a great day. big_smile

      It is getting close. Here are the main prophecies I am interested in;

      1. the temple must be re-built in Jerusalem. Jews are building it now.(after all these years? yes interesting isn't it)

      2. "man's ability to travel will be greatly increased" - one hundred years ago we could only travel as fast as a horse could run.

      3. "there will be one world order" Why have the politicians been talking and using those SAME EXACT WORDS? Over and over- it is the agenda.

      4. "man will have the ability to destroy the earth" last 50 years.

      no , they are not a sign, you want to know end time sign see what the bible says :
      Mat 24:3  And as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the world?
      Mat 24:4  And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
      Mat 24:5  For many will come in My name, saying, I am Christ, and will deceive many.
      Mat 24:6  And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for all these things must occur; but the end is not yet.
      Mat 24:7  For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in different places.
      Mat 24:8  All these are the beginning of sorrows.
      Mat 24:9  Then they will deliver you up to be afflicted and will kill you. And you will be hated of all nations for My name's sake.
      Mat 24:10  And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.
      Mat 24:11  And many false prophets will rise and deceive many.
      Mat 24:12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold.
      Mat 24:13  But he who endures to the end, the same shall be kept safe.
      Mat 24:14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all nations. And then the end shall come.
      Mat 24:15  Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand).
      Mat 24:16  Then let those in Judea flee into the mountains.
      Mat 24:17  Let him on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house;
      Mat 24:18  nor let him in the field turn back to take his clothes.
      Mat 24:19  And woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days!
      Mat 24:20  But pray that your flight is not in the winter, nor on the sabbath day;
      Mat 24:21  for then shall be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world to this time; no, nor ever shall be.
      Mat 24:22  And unless those days should be shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened.
      Mat 24:23  Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ! Or, There! Do not believe it.
      Mat 24:24  For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.
      Mat 24:25  Behold, I have told you beforehand.
      Mat 24:26  Therefore if they shall say to you, Behold, He is in the desert! Do not go out. Behold, He is in the secret rooms! Do not believe it.
      Mat 24:27  For as the lightning comes out of the east and shines even to the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man.
      Mat 24:28  For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered.
      Mat 24:29  And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
      Mat 24:30  And then the sign of the Son of Man shall appear in the heavens. And then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of the heaven with power and great glory.
      Mat 24:31  And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
      Mat 24:32  Now learn a parable of the fig tree. When its branch is still tender and puts out leaves, you know that summer is near.
      Mat 24:33  So you, likewise, when you see all these things, shall know that it is near, at the doors.
      Mat 24:34  Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass until all these things are fulfilled.
      Mat 24:35  The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.
      Mat 24:36  But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels of Heaven, but only My Father.
      Mat 24:37  But as the days of Noah were, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.
      Mat 24:38  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark.
      Mat 24:39  And they did not know until the flood came and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.
      Mat 24:40  Then two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
      Mat 24:41  Two shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
      Mat 24:42  Therefore watch; for you do not know what hour your Lord comes.
      Mat 24:43  But know this, that if the steward of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through.
      Mat 24:44  Therefore you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the Son of Man comes.
      Mat 24:45  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord has made ruler over His household, to give them food in due season?
      Mat 24:46  Blessed is that servant whom his Lord shall find him doing so when He comes.
      Mat 24:47  Truly I say to you that He shall make him ruler over all His goods.
      Mat 24:48  But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delays His coming,
      Mat 24:49  and shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken,
      Mat 24:50  the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he does not look for Him, and in an hour which he does not know.
      Mat 24:51  And He shall cut him apart and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

      Hi my brother efeguy...

      2 Peter 3

      God’s Promise Is Not Slack

      1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us,[a] the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”

      Posting here is like tossing snowballs into Hell, but welcome brother and keep preaching in season and out of season, it infuriates them! smile

      Yes we are in the beginning of the birth pains, yes all these things have happened throughout history, but not all at the same time, which is what Matthew 24 is speaking of.

      Remember when you deal with these people that they have only studied the bible to justify their disbelief, they are not filled with the Holy Spirit, and they do not know that by default they are under Satan's dominion.

      They are disadvantaged, but they are also self willed and in rebellion.

      Matthew 10:16(New King James Version)

      “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves."

      Stay Blessed.

    There have always been diseases and plagues, and there's always been war.  There have always been Earthquakes.  Economy issues are about nothing but money.  If anyone thinks enough about all the bad things in the world (I mean, seriously enough and long enough) it can be depressing and anxiety-producing, and being depressed or anxious makes people have a sense of doom.

      The world is not going to end on 12/21/12. It's stupid. The reason the Mayan calender stopped on that day and year is because:

      1.) Maybe they thought that the world will be over, but they could not predict the future.

      or

      2.) The Mayan race died out, went missing. So the guy who was creating the calender died before he got to finish.

      It's a new year. We are all going to live. We will NOT die. Our race will die because of scientific reasons, like the sun dying. Running out water. A deadly disease that there is no cure for. A black hole that will suck everything up and destroy the world. Etc. Etc. Etc.

      As for nuclear war, I am pretty sure no one is absolutely determined to nuke anyone, because if someone does, the fumes and deadly material in the bomb will spread ALL OVER because of the wind. It would kill a lot of people all over the world. All the countries may talk crap, but they won't do it.

      Once again, we will die of scientific reasons. Not because a Mayan calender was not finished or because Jesus is sick of us.

    John the apostle quoted Christ in the end of Revelations Chapter 22, vs.20 saying, " Surely I come quickly."
    Man can only make predictions of the future events leading up to and at the end of times. The Alpha and Omega, God is the only one who really knows.
    Man should grow some more grapes, make some great wine, drink it and take a couple of Vycodin and prophecy a little more.
    Nostradamus, Mayan Indians, wine,drugs and predictions.
    Mankinds history tells us that there will always be perdition and the only thing that will destroy man is man! we are our own worst enemies. {Self}
    Planet earth has always been changing and will continue to change, we shall change right along with it.Maybe for the better, but maybe for the worse. It is up to us to strive to be the best stewards we can be of our environment and stop killing each other and the planet we call H O M E!!
