True, but have you seen American Gospel/Christ Alone on Netflix? SO GOOD! Talks about the prosperity Gospel and the greed and corruption within some of the worlds most famous...and richest...”preachers” and “evangelists”. Take Benny Hinn who performs “faith healings”. They are a shame. Then you have Kenneth Copeland who proclaims sending him money will make you weathier and such. Many others performing false healing in the streets and such. It’s here. Will only get worse I agree with you whole heartedly.
I never said it did. Neither did Newton make that claim, but he was obsessed with Biblical prophecy. That’s all there is to it my friend. :)
No ... wait a sec. Here's my theory:
The half-life of a proton (decay after interaction with a positron) is 1.67x10e34 years so that's a 'ways off yet. Therefore, accelerated proton decay that will end the world (actually, the universe) in 2060 must be caused by the Chinese Virus.
This is the first convention, of either party, that I haven’t watched at least a little, since I was a teenager. And that was a long time ago.
I will probably watch some more next week...but not much more.
Honestly, I cannot comprehend how someone can possibly be “undecided” at this point.
The original point I made still stands: No one can predict when the end times are upon us, however like Christ warned, it is coming soon.
No one is undecided unless we include those who simply cannot stomach voting for either candidate, but is determined to vote regardless. Maybe they will flip a coin?
“, however like Christ warned, it is coming soon. “
On THIS we will agree! :)
Einstein: For an Atheist he did seem to mention God quite often. Many physicists, including Max Planck, became believers (in a general sense) or had their faith strengthened as a result of their work. Cannot fathom atheistic scientists. How can one perceive order, in mathematical terms, or reality resulting from consciousness, without recognizing the mathematician and consciousness behind it all?
Not true!
God controls the future and prophets wrote it down as God told them what to write. I can tell you that it's all written down in the Bible. All we have to do is figure it out.
Pro 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
End times prophesy starts in Genesis 1 and ends in Revelation.
Gen 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;
The lights in the firmament are for signs and seasons. The Leviticus 23 Feast days are God telling His people the history of the whole world till the end of time. Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits have already happened with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Pentecost in Act's 2 was the birth of the church. All we have left is Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles, with the Eighth Day to follow. Trumpets will mark the Rapture of the church at the "Last Trump" and there will be 7 years of Wrath until Judgement day when Jesus returns to judge the earth. Tabernacles will follow where Jesus will rule and reign with an iron rod for 1000 years. The Eighth Day represents eternity in Heaven with God.
Trumpets and the Rapture will be the most telegraphed day in history and there are many clues given all through Scripture. All of this so far is easily provable in Scripture.
Now comes guesses on my part. It will probably have something to do with a Jubilee year. Big happenings happen on Jubilee years. All things are restored on the Jubilee.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Here Peter is telling us that God was telling His people that History will go on for 6000 years representing 6 days of Creation. The Hebrew calendar says we are at 5780, soon to be 5781. Even a Hebrew knows the exact date might be off due to their years in slavery before the Tabernacle and the priest system. If you look at a Temple Menorah, the center candle represents Jesus and the last candle will be the 7th day Sabbath or the last 1000 year reign of Christ. Even the 7th day Sabbath represents God's rest. When you read "Sabbath" read "rest" to see the Last Days rest where God takes over and we live under His rule on Earth. So even the story of Creation is a message from God about His plan for us. This is why I reject the billions of years theory of evolution. Romans 1 says we are without excuse. If you are going to follow the Bible, follow the Bible and stop making things up in disbelief. You will miss the story God is telling you.
Now back to "restoration" on the Jubilee.
Act 3:21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Here we are told that Jesus will be in Heaven until the restoration of all things, points to Jubilee. The last Jubilee was 2017 and we weren't Raptured and Tribulation didn't start. Another 50 years makes 2067. On the Hebrew calendar it will be 5137. That's a long way from 6000. Personally I don't see how we can last another 50 years, but people have said that for hundreds of years now.
2Pe 3:3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 2Pe 3:4 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."
I'm sure there are more clues I could flesh out as this subject is all through Scripture. Joshua is also an end time prophesy mirroring Revelation as Joshua is a type of Jesus taking His people over the Jordan to the Promised Land. But what I'm sure of is Trumpets is the Rapture and the Wedding of the church and crowning of the King all happening in the 7 years,(or 3 1/2 years, depending on how you read the Scriptures), before Jesus physically comes back to tread the wine press alone. The first seal opened in Rev 6 is the Antichrist is revealed on a white horse pretending to be Christ. The 5th seal is the Tribulation saints crying out for being murdered by the Antichrist. The church was raptured in Rev 4 when the trumpet said "come up here". This is the Bride spoken of throughout Scripture esp. Matthew 25. The foolish virgins are left behind to buy and sell and have to physically die to go to Heaven. The Bride will die to her flesh in the Baptismal. She is spoken of in Rev 3:10 as the church of Brotherly Love being spared from the trial coming to the whole earth. All the other churches had something against them and will be left behind. Be careful when you say "I'm saved, I'm going". Many will hear "I never knew you".
If you are looking for an exact day,....I can't give it to you, but I do know to a Jew, "The day no one knows the day or the hour," is Trumpets. Just like we call Thanksgiving "Turkey Day" they know Trumpets is the only day that starts with a New Moon so it doesn't start until 2 priests declare they see the first sliver of the New moon and start blowing the Trumpets. They blow 100 blasts and the last blast is called the "Last Trump". The "First Trump" is Pentecost and the "Great Trump" is Atonement.
The Bible tells Gods people to "Watch" therefore because they know the day spoken of.
1Th 5:1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.
1Th 5:2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
They know the "Thief in the Night" is the High Priest that come around at night to see if the guards are sleeping. If he finds one he sets their robes on fire as they run away naked. They also know that the times and the seasons are covered in Leviticus 23. He won't be coming on Easter or Christmas as they are pagan days. He won't be coming on some random day or He wouldn't have warned us in Scripture. Everything we need is known in Leviticus 23. There are various parables and other verses throughout Scripture that hint at what to watch for. There will be a 7 year peace treaty with Israel. The Antichrist will be blind in one eye and have a crippled arm. He will most likely be a homosexual or he won't like women for whatever reason.
The key is to start repenting and fasting on Elul 1 looking forward to Tisheri 1 (while the King is in the Field) That will take care of "Watching". If you are left behind, the key then will be to get ready to die at the hands of the Antichrist. He will ask you to deny Christ and take his mark to live. Jesus said if you deny me before men, I will deny you before the Father. You are not saved even though you went to church and was baptized. You won't get a mulligan to save you or your families lives.
Another thing to think about is living a Christian life even where there is lawlessness. I've met many "preppers that believe they will kill their neighbors and take their food and ammo as needed to survive. That is stealing and murder.
Rev 13:10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
What is the patience and faith of the saints?
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
Rev 14:13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.' " "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them."
He is saying you must keep the Law even though we are in desperate times. It will be better for you to give up your life and rest from your labors and be able to take your works, your Treasure in Heaven with you than to be transformed into an animal to try to survive.
It's more advantageous to be Raptured out as the Bride of Christ than to face the Antichrist and die. He is coming to get His Bride on some Feast of Trumpets in the future. Our job is to be ready to go when the shouts to come up here. Think of a Bride to be staring out her window with her bags packed with her treasure in Heaven and her wedding gown on, clean and white. The ones left behind will be living in this world thinking He delays His coming and not watching. You must want Him enough to give up your life here to be with Him.
Star Trek future history puts the development of warp drive in the year 2063. So that’s pretty close to Newton’s 2060.
As well, Kurizweil’s inflection point black hole singularity occurs somewhere between 2040-60 depending on how you count it.
They mean different things but the effect is the same. The earth stop’s being the center of human history.
The singularity just means that technology pushes past the point where things are predictable. Seriously unpredictable things can and likely will happen.
That's a good answer Isaac. You get a cookie.

The Biblical standard for prophecy was that if a prophet predicted something and it didn’t happen, the prophet was killed. That’s a standard we probably should have stuck with.
An atheist who said God does not play dice with the universe.
Then went on to discover quantum mechanics where God does nothing but dice with every elemental particle!
I can only hope the Vatican Library has a backup, else it will go the way of the Library of Alexandria.

Welcome to my world. *sigh*
That's called 'free will'.
An omnipotent God can decide that being omniscient is really, really boring, and elect to not look ahead and 'just see what the monkeys are doing' today.
I'm pretty sure if there is such a being He finds my life amusing (as do I!)...
So many people want to be false prophets.
