"It couldn't happen in our time - right? I mean, come on. Don't be ridiculous."
Now let's be honest, at some point have you ever let the thought that just maybe the end of the world is upon us cross your mind. Listen, you don't have to raise your hand and be identified publicly as some sort of kook. It is just between us here. I just wonder, "have you ever wondered?"
Honestly, it has crossed my mind. And, I have clients that swear that 2012 will end everything. Personally, I subscribe to the Bible which states that no man knows the date. But the idea, well, when coupled with everything going on in this day and age, well - it is a little too spooky to be all together kooky.
I believe we are living in the last days. Although, I don’t believe 2012 will be the year.
We can’t know the date, but we can know the season.
I think we are getting pretty close (although I’ve not looked into it in depth yet. I figure when Jesus calls us up, then we’ll know)
I agree. I feel like I could be typing this right now and suddenly be tak
As long as I’m around to see it.
Spin? Spin???
Spinner got to go and I got left????
Wasn’t it Paul that predicted the end of time about 2,000 years ago? That aside, it sure does not look good out in the world. It is not hard to imagine civilization as we know it coming completely undone in the coming few years.
My parents laughed about that a lot. I don't know what happened to the guy. I think that maybe he hadn't really nailed down the whole Christian lifestyle thing.
Personally, I'm not taking out any loans, and I'm trying to be as personally responsible as ever. But I think I understand how that guy felt -- I'm pretty sure that the day is coming soon. I hope so. I'm ready.
“2012” is a bunch of superstitious hokum.
It is possible we are nearing the end. It is also possible we won’t near the end for another millenium. Live like He’s coming tomorrow ... plan like He’s not coming in your lifetime.

I’ll believe that Christ has returned when I cease to be greeted by the Holy Spirit when I wake up in the morning.
>>I believe we are living in the last days. Although, I don’t believe 2012 will be the year.<<
I agree. Actually, I think a lot rests with the events of 1948 and Israel and related stuff (discovery of the dead sea scrolls, etc. and the 70th week of Daniel and “This generation shall not pass away until all these things take place. And in the Bible a generation is 70 years.
That gives us until roughly 2018.
Key word: Roughly. After all, nobody knows the day or the time, but we are to recognize the season.
Don't worry, he had tex-mex for lunch .. I just saw him running down the hall towards the head.
>>I won’t be surprised if the Lord Jesus returns before I’m done keying this.<<
I would, but only because I am a mid-tribulationist.
I’ve told friends that either Obama is a piker and going down hard - or he really is the anti-Christ and he will be unstoppable.
I believe he is the former though.
When I look at how technology is being used to track and control people and also notice that the technology is expanding exponentially, it is not hard to see that in five to ten years there will be no personal freedom whatsoever.
The UK is already talking about catching and ticketing speeders via satellite. Carry the concept forward.
