Prophecy Scholars, What End Times Signs are Playing Out Now?
Enquiring Mind (no pun intended) | 11/27/2001 | MississippiMan

Posted on 11/26/2001 10:25:19 PM PST by MississippiMan

I found myself in a lengthy discussion the other day about the possibility that we are in or near the Biblical end times, and I'd love to hear the thoughts of some of you who have studied this issue.

What end times signs do you think have played out or are playing out now or will play out in the very near future?

Respectful request: this thread is intended to be a discussion between those who do believe in the Bible and its end times prophecies. While anyone is of course free to post, I sure would appreciate it if those of you who don't believe in God would not clutter up the thread with accusations of superstition and such. Thanks...

The alignment of religions, making all religions equal and supposedly saying the same thing. This is the Whore spoken of in Revelation 17, the one world religious system that the world unites under before the Anti-Christ demands his own worship.

The other alignments I believe, is we will soon see major terrorist atacks in the US. The US is not in prophecy. Face it, we are not. That means we will not be here. I do not believe we have so many born again believers that the country will shut down during the rapture, I believe we will be killed off or involved in an internal struggle that will paralyse us caused by forces unknown, but terrorism within sounds like a likely scenario to me.

.'The creation of the ability to monitor all transactions and purchases through a single micro chip, fulfilling the idea of a mark on the hand or forehead that the Anti-Christ will require. No other generation had the ability to do this. Bush's National ID, soon to come, is a precurser to this. England has already called for national id's, and many other countries will too. When a global government becomes a reality, we will see a global card.

Nostro has nothing to do with the Bible, he only uses a Biblical word, AntiChrist, and I think even that is open to interpretation.

JJR, can you please post your observation concerning statues? I was trying to paraphase from memory, but it won't do it justice. Thanks.

To believe as you do one must disbelieve the Bible. Forget The Book of The Revelation. (The Apocalypse) Just look at what The Messiah says in Mathew.

[4] Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you.

[5] For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.

[6] You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

[7] Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

[8] All these are the beginning of birth pains.

[9] "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

[10] At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,

[11] and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

[12] Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

[13] but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

[14] And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

[15] "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel--let the reader understand--

[16] then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

[17] Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house.

[18] Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak.

[19] How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!

[20] Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.

[21] For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again.

[22] If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Matthew 24:4-22

If you toss The Messiah's words into the trash in these verses then you have trashed the whole Bible. Forget it. It's all meaningless. There is no God. We are simply biological machines ... the product of an accident we will never understand. The universe has no first cause and nothing means anything.

OK, but you make it sound like someone who doesn't believe in the bible, can't believe in God. You are wrong, my friend.

Interesting. Describe this God of yours. Where did you find it and what is your evidence of it's existence?

**** Since all you guys want to do is duck out of your Visa bills and watch a bunch of little brown people go to hell, I'm wondering what purpose is served by it.****

I guess this is why the Christian world has been feeding, helping to establish agriculture, drilling wells, bringing doctors to, etc, etc, etc, 'the little brown people' all over the world, to the tune of many billions of dollars, for around two hundred years. Why does someone so filled with hatred as you are wish to hang out on a conservative and mostly Christian website? This truly mystifies me.

This isn't prophecy but it sure is a sign of the times we are living in today.

2 Timothy 3

1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

What a stupid thread. Please tell me what this has to do with Free Republic? It borders on abuse.

Unlike some of the threads on penis and breast size or filthy cartoons huh?
