The "End Times"

I call nonsense, but what do you think? Are we in the "End Times"?

According to Jesus, the time of his second appearance on earth will be to separate people for life or death.

It isn't the "end of the world" but the end of the "age". This is a time for God to bring his rulership back to the earth after allowing humans and his adversary to try their hand at doing things without him. (Daniel 2:44)

According to the Bible, these days would be "just as the days of Noah" when human thought and behavior were seen to be bad all the time, and no one took any notice of God or really sought to obey his rules....all except one family who did care about what God thought. (Matthew 24:37-39) There is again, only one "family" obeying all that Christ commanded.

The criteria for retaining life is strict obedience to the teachings of Jesus Christ. "Many" he said, would claim to be his followers, but would deny him by their blatant disobedience. (Matthew 7:21-23)

"Few" would be found on the "road to life" because it is "cramped and narrow"......the majority would choose to travel the easy road of convenience....but it is a dead end. :(

These are the "last days" or "end times". The sign Jesus gave is evident in the world right now. (Matthew 24:3-14; 2 Timothy 3:1-5)

The world ended in 2012 when the Mayan calendar rolled over... Don't you fools know anything?!?

The world we THINK we live in now is just a projection that the great God KuKuclan is allowing us to experience while we rest. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we're actually all dead - and have been for some time now.

Rest in peace, my internet bothers and sisters!

Not only are we in the end times, the 1,000 year reign of Christ is just about to end before the day of the Lord happens according to the plan. The 1,000 year reign of Christ is the time that the Gospel of God has been used to reveal the knowledge of who God and his voice is and how everything man experiences comes through them. Now we know exactly what God and his voice is so we are very close to the day of the Lord destruction. Here is a series of prophecies that will happen on that day.

The following prophecies are about the age ending day of the Lord when everything on this earth is destroyed and melted into a lake of fire. This destruction starts soon after the 1,000 year reign of Christ has finished revealing the Tree of Life ( God and voice and creation ) that was hidden from man until this year.

Matthew 24
14: And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.

Isaiah 24
18: He who flees at the sound of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he who climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For the windows of heaven are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19: The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is violently shaken.
20: The earth staggers like a drunken man, it sways like a hut; its transgression lies heavy upon it, and it falls, and will not rise again.

Ezekiel 38
19: For in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20: the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall quake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground.

2 Peter 3
10: But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.
11: Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,
12: waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire!
13: But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Isaiah 66
15: "For behold, the LORD will come in fire, and his chariots like the stormwind, to render his anger in fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16: For by fire will the LORD execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh; and those slain by the LORD shall be many.

Zephaniah 1
18: Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the LORD. In the fire of his jealous wrath, all the earth shall be consumed; for a full, yea, sudden end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Revelation 21
1: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
8: But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

However, the good news is that everything you observe is an illusion so you will wake up on a new earth after your flesh burns up in hot molten lava.

Isaiah 65
16: So that he who blesses himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of truth, and he who takes an oath in the land shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten and are hid from my eyes.
17: "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.
18: But be glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19: I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and be glad in my people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping and the cry of distress.

Never again will Satan and the Beast give man good and evil visible images or thoughts and cause man to build things ( false gods ) with his human hands.

Revelation 19
17: Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven, "Come, gather for the great supper of God,
18: to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great."
19: And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army.
20: And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.
21: And the rest were slain by the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issues from his mouth; and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

Yup. Every year its just around the corner. Every year we hear about the end coming, and God doesn't step up to correct the liars putting it forward. Thanks for the extra spam, Sammy.

This isn't spam, Bricky. I'm the last servant to end the second witness of the Gospel and when I'm killed by the religious heathens, that will end the 1,000 year reign of Christ.

But there was such fervor behind that typing! Give him some credit!

Psalm 41
6: And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers mischief; when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
7: All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me.

but he received a rebuke for his own transgression, for a mute donkey, speaking with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.

God knows exactly how to keep the flesh he's using to speak with humbled. No man can understand this unless they are the servant God is using to speak with. God also uses the servants eyes and ears so He doesn't miss anything when the battle begins with the forces who were designed to hate the Truth. Every one of his people has been sleeping with the enemy since they woke up in a world they thought was real.

The Christians (or some of them) are telling us the end is near. But Jesus, quoted by Mark, said "the end is near … the present generation will live to see it all." So was he wrong? And if he was only speaking of the end of the old dispensation, why do you assume the other Biblical statements refer to the end of the world?

There is an assumption that the "end times" always translates to "end of the world", but from a historical context it more often actually refers to a dramatic fall of some empire or civilization or lifestyle or community, typically preceded by a visionary who predicted it via obvious trending and warning signs or ability to see the future or other. Often it really isn't a reference to the end of the world, and the exact words used are not necessarily "end times" which seems to be a Christian dialog but could have originated as a Roman term even pre-dating Christianity.

Personally, I think there is not only the fall of nations, civilizations, communities and so on, but there is a risk of a super cataclysmic disaster to the entire world that could arguably be described as the "end of the world" even though many still will survive. Usually a comet is seen as the destruction - personally I think it is likely that, not a comet, but a large asteroid rock will eventually hit the earth and cause a catastrophic end for many and huge impact to the world and I am a bit nervous that this is predicted and the big rock hurling to the earth will be seen using some sort of space cameras and we will know it is coming fast and humans will try to deflect it's path using projectiles but it won't work and this asteroid will be called "the horsehead" because it will be shaped eerily like a horse's head.

Everything changes. But never ends.

But we will even survive that just fine. Just that it will cause havoc as well as world changing in the shape of nations and in government and religion.

That's not me that's boasting. I only write and speak the words the Lord puts in my mind. He's to blame if it sounds like He's boasting.

Another one who believes every time they open their mouth it's from God.

Are we living in the end-times? YES! Mankind is now advanced enough to where IT CAN fulfill end-time prophecy. And Islam is the only religion possible to fulfill the atrocities of the beast...like this one...

"And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire... (suicide vest)
The word for breastplates is the word 'thorax,' and were held by straps that went over the shoulders or around the neck.

"...and of jacinth," (dark red)...

From Vines....
Jacinth:
signifies "hyacinthine," perhaps primarily having the color of the hyacinth. Some regard its color as that of the martagon lily, a dusky red. According to Swete, the word 'jacinth' in Rev 9:17 is, "doubtless meant to describe the blue smoke of a sulphurous flame."

"...and brimstone:...." sparks and explosion This is the only place the word 'brimstone' or Strong's #2306 is used in the NT. Strong's #2306 comes from 2303 and says, "in its original sense of "flashing."

"...and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; (Babylonians) and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone."

John even tells us how many jihadist there are in the world when this happens.

In 2006-7 a leading Mid-East expert said there were 300 million jihadist and 400 million radicals in the world. I thought that number to be a bit high on the jihadist but close on the radicals.

"And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them."

That would be 200 million.
