End Times ping
The Bible contains literally hundreds of promises from the Lord concerning His coming back to the earth to deliver His people and establish His kingdom here. The only problem is that many professing Christians have quit believing in them and thus have quit looking for the Lord to return.
That's right cause so many Christians have swallowed the prosperity gospel thinking and are more interested in their best life now.
Well, if this is indeed their best life now, they they are heading for hell.
Honestly, it amazes me the vehement hatred some professing Christians have towards others who believe like this article states.
Time to go adjust the tin foil.
Is Butters back?
**When Christ walked the earth, the dominant world super-power at the time was Rome, and they worshipped the gods such as Diana..**
Rome is still doing that.
I agree with the analysis and it has been true for me. But just want to point out that it all still applies to a person who might hold to a historic pre-millenial position which would lean to a post-tribulation view; maybe even more so.
But Rick Warren says we should not discuss eschatology because it diverts people away from what is important.?.? Is Rick a deceiver? (Answer: yes!)
And more than that, had Jesus come back a couple thousand years ago as some religious groups contend, WHERE IS HE???
Do these people really think muzlims and others could get away with killing Christians thru-out the World if Jesus was here reigning as the King of Kings??? And do they think he came back long ago but now is no where to be found or he operates only in an obscure spiritual realm with no power???
It is my contention that many Christians identify as such not because they are born again members of the body of Christ but because they attend a church somewhere...

Are these rapture/scripture believing Christians the same group calling themselves “Evangelicals”?
Serious question, thanks!

I teacher I had used to say we shouldn’t get so caught up with the “sweet-by-and by” that we forget about the “nasty-here-and-now”. ;o)
We KNOW Jesus will return one day for His own - there is no denying this is a Biblical teaching. Those who would scoff at other believers who hold to this view are just plain wrong. Regardless if Christ returns pre, mid or post Tribulation (and I strongly favor the pre), there WILL be a return, there WILL be a time of tribulation that the world has YET to see and there WILL be a thousand year reign of Christ upon the earth before the final Great White Throne Judgment after which He creates a new heavens and new earth where righteousness will dwell for eternity. I hope it happens in my lifetime - and I think there are more signs now than ever before that it is imminent - but I will continue to love and serve the Lord and anticipate His return every day. We should live every day as if it were our last - one day, it will be.
As Satan thrashes and flails harder and harder, we can assume the time is getting nearer....
But it would seem that the trend these days within the majority of professing Christendom, is to join in on the mocking of those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture and literal understanding of future events as laid out in the Bible.
The issue with the 'end times' watchers, is that they are watching for and anticipating the end times teachings from the end times house of merchandise.
Forty and six years was that temple in building, beginning with the seminal work of Hal Lindsey, the "father of modern-day Bible prophecy": The Late Great Planet Earth, which was first published in 1970.
"A penetrating look at incredible prophecies involving this generation."
It most certainly IS the end-times generation, which is why all these prophecy teachers and their devoted pupils will be blindsided. The irony is thick with this one. Meanwhile, a lot of folks deride the Jews of then as well as the Jews of today, for placing faith in the words of their sages.
Flipped over story, as the NT wise men came from east. In the first century these were Gentiles. The tables have turned.
John 2
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

When Congress certified the election of Donald J. Trump on January 6, 2017, it marked the completion of 70 years of the political Establishment to the very [Hebrew] day: 8 Tevet, the day the 70 was completed, i.e. the LXX, the "Gentile" [Greek] Torah. Known by its Roman numerals, no less.
All in the timing, and placement:
On arrival at Alexandria, the translators were greeted by the king and given a sumptuous banquet. They were then closeted in a secluded house on the island of Pharos close to the seashore, where the celebrated 110 m. high lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, had just been finished.

The Pharos of Alexandria was the prototype for all the lighthouses of the world. But who's paying any attention.
The end of Truman's conference:
Q. The state of war will have to be terminated by Congress, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT. By Congress. The emergency has to be terminated by Congress. Happy New Year to you all!
Reporters: Happy New Year!
Happy New year indeed, the emergency was terminated by Congress, 70 years later to the day:
U.S. Congress certifies Trump's Electoral College victory
The Tanakh ends with the words of Cyrus king of Persia, the "Gentile Messiah":
2 Chr 36
23. Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has the Lord God of heaven given me; and he has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah; Whoever is among you of all his people, the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up:
The Christian Bibles have a different order to the books, therefore the "Old Testament" ends on this note for the Christian reader:
Mal 4
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
