Repent the end is nigh!

[Aupmanyav]

Thank heavens, we don't have to worry about end of times. The play is eternal.

 

[Desert Snake]

Considering Yeshua also prophesied loads of things that were to take place before it, such as the whole world being deceived by 'I Am' in his name, the second temple destruction, the diaspora, the time of the gentiles, earthquakes, rumors of war, then the sun, moon and stars darkened, and then finally his return on the clouds, with the hosts of Heaven....

So clearly he wasn't meaning it was in the time of the disciples.

Not to mention, ''false prophets'', and false Messiahs..
This, often seems to be, a very misunderstood part of Scripture,

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

I've woken up the day after many end times and I'm only 38. The Apocalypse is only good when it's in X-Men, LOL.

Ya know, but, I mean, it's like any day now...

 

[wizanda]

Not to mention, ''false prophets'', and false Messiahs..

Very true, Yeshua's point about the 'I Am' deception is obviously included in that, and fulfilled by John, Paul and Simon the stone (petros) who all go around prophesying....

Plus their pseudo-Christ has helped deceive even the elect.

Repent the end is nigh!
The end times happen every single day. Your end time might be this very day, I might not see the light of day tomorrow. No one knows when God has planned their last heart beat.
You cannot repent and be forgiven after you die, that all has to be settled before you leave this earth. So, everyone's end times are when you die.
If you are fortunate enough to still be alive when Jesus returns, that is a different story. No one knows when that is, only the Father. So we do have to be ready everyday, every minute.

I think the end timers get a real kick out of scaring people with their nonsense.

And make lots of money selling books. If they really thought that the end was near, why do they need money from book sales? And who is this "nigh" guy anyway?

 

[YmirGF]

The world ended due to the Y2K scare. Didn't you all get the memo?

Oh sush, you you. They are still in the Matrix. Doh!

[paste:font size="4"]number 666 was referred to as the Mark of the Beast in Revelation 13:18. It was in this month that the WTS published "Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God." It contained a chronological chart which shows that 1975 was the "end of the sixth thousand year day of man's existence." 8

They regarded the year 1975 a promising date for the end of the world, based on their original belief that it was the 6,000th anniversary of creation of both Adam and Eve at the Garden of Eden in 4026BCE. They believe, along with many other conservative Protestant denominations, that the world would exist for exactly 1,000 years for each day of the creation week. Their Watchtower or Awake magazines taught that:

"according to reliable Bible chronology Adam was created in the year 4026 BCE, likely in the autumn of the year, at the end of the sixth day of creation." 9

"According to reliable Bible chronology, Adam and Eve were created in 4026 BCE" 10

"Are we to assume from this study that the battle of Armageddon will be all over by the autumn of 1975, and the long-looked-for thousand-year reign of Christ will begin by then? Possibly, but we wait to see how closely the seventh thousand-year period of man’s existence coincides with the sabbathlike thousand-year reign of Christ....Our chronology, however, which is reasonably accurate (but admittedly not infallible), at the best only points to the autumn of 1975 as the end of 6,000 years of man’s existence on earth." 11


I well recall attending a Kingdom Hall when a District Overseer announced "the end is neigh" and some
J.W.'s went out and bought new homes and cars believing they wouldn't have to pay for them.
I'm still waiting zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............

Frankly I WISH God would end this wicked system of man screwing up our world.
My J.W. mother scared snot out of my sister and I with predictions of "God" sending birds from heaven
to pick our eyes out.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
For a loooooooooooong time I wanted nothing to do with that god.
Sadly my only sibling, a sister, won't have anything to do with any concept of God or religion to this
day.
Poor woman is still immersed in her alcoholic drinking.
Fortunately I have a different concept of God of my understanding and my own addiction is in remission
thanks to abstaining from alcohol and attending A.A.
You know...............A.A. recovery that J.W.'s shunned big time and preached against it.
J.W. dogma at the time was that Jehovah could "cure" the sin of alcoholism.
Sin? Modern medicine recognizes addiction as a disease.
I don't drink nor use drugs.
I think that today the Governing Body of J.W.s has mellowed a bit on the sin part and believes it might be
a disease.
Nice of 'em what?
J.W.'s also frowned upon attending college.
Makes one question how under educated the Governing Body might be?
To this say the G.B. won't disclose who translated the N.W.T. of that Bible.
I'm not knocking the J.W.s at all but question the dogma.
Most all J.W.s I knew were quite wonderful people.
Except for the elder than molested my 12 year old sister and the elder I arrested for molesting his
10 year old grand daughter.
To be fair ALL religious groups have animals among them.
Most denominations don't preach they and only they have a handle on the "truth".
Our police minister was a Catholic priest who I loved very much but J.W. associates I knew
beat me up for counseling with him.
The J.W. dogma ruined me on religion and it to me a long time to find the God of my understanding
Addiction being a sin don'cha'know?
My 3rd rehab taught me a LOT about the disease of addiction and counsels helped me understand that
I wasn't a "sinner" but a sick addict suffering from a medically recognized disease.
I don't drink today and am free from the bondage of self.
Dis-ease. Ill at ease with the self.
I love me and you today.

Apparently these doomsayer types have permeated the global warming crowd, with bad predictions, and all.

The end has been nigh for a very long time. I remember the sandwich board men strutting their stuff with this message when I was a kid in the 50s. Whenever there is a national or world crisis the end times merchants get very excited, proclaiming the problems we are experiencing are predicted, although you have to have a very vivid imagination to interpret the Biblical verses they are suggesting refer to whichever crisis we are living through! Remember Harold Campion, who predicted the end of the world erroneously on at least three occasions, and still had the gullible believing him?

Jesus suggested the end times would happen in the lifetime of his disciples. If he couldn't get it right who could?

I think the end timers get a real kick out of scaring people with their nonsense.

Yes I remember not so long ago, humanity was doomed by global cooling and oil running out sometime in the 80's

But credit where it is due, the Bible has been a little more reliable than academics when it comes to the big questions.

Not so long ago scientists didn't even accept there was a beginning, the very concept was mocked as 'religious pseudoscience' and 'big bang'
No, the universe was eternal and static...

Other 'crazy Biblical assertions' were that Earth was once all ocean, where life first appeared, and then there was 1 single land mass.. with life appearing there in distinct stages. that a whole 'nother ocean worth of water lay in 'springs of the deep', mass extinctions, and that the ME would continue to be the flash point of earthly politics.

Of course there are predictions not yet fulfilled, that we can still chose not to believe..

atheism of the gaps?

So, God has the same reliability as humans? Not surprising, being a figment of their imagination.

But credit where it is due, the Bible has been a little more reliable than academics when it comes to the big questions.

With the possible exception of postulating water (and therefore Oxygen) before the stars, lol.

The universe IS eternal and static, if the adjectives "eternal and static" applied to a 4 dimensional space time continuum. So it is not clear what your point is.

Other 'crazy Biblical assertions' were that Earth was once all ocean, where life first appeared, and then there was 1 single land mass.. with life appearing there in distinct stages. that a whole 'nother ocean worth of water lay in 'springs of the deep', mass extinctions, and that the ME would continue to be the flash point of earthly politics.

So, do you agree that the Bible postulates common descent? If not, where is your anti-evolution Lemaître? If he was so good at exposing the atheistic conspiracy of a "static universe", why is he now so hesitating?

Of course there are predictions not yet fulfilled, that we can still chose not to believe..

Well, they will never be fulfilled if Satan is smart enough

atheism of the gaps?

Yes. We take pride in not filling holes with imaginary things.

I believe He was saying it would happen after the signs of His coming.

I believe He gets it right and other people do not.

I believe some people need a kick in the pants to get them moving. For people already moving in the wrong direction it isn't much help.

 

[Muffled]

Look what happens when you buy sliced bread. Sometimes the ends are only a little sliver and sometimes they're the width of 3 slices. I guess its just a very big end.

I believe it is a generation wide.

 

[Muffled]

Those things have been happening throughout history!

On the contrary I believe the temple was only destroyed once after Jesus and never rebuilt.

I am not going to tell you about the sign but I would have to think it was a very rare event.

 

[Muffled]

The world was supposed to end in 2012 but those Mayans got it wrong.

Evidently someone messed up. My guess is that the prediction was for somewhere in the first segment of time not necessarily at the beginning of it.

Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. I don't find much comfort in that. I look for the rapture of believers.

This is rapture:
