What's up with the world ending?

[Deeje]

Why do some care so much about when and how the world will end? How did the world not "end" already in the past? For all we know Ragnarok passed and we're living in it's ashes. And it's not like the world ending or continuing will change the fact that we're gonna die someday, predicted or not.

The world's ending according to the Bible is not an end at all, but a new beginning. That is why we are all looking forward to it....we want what results from the end of all the horrible things going on in this world. It isn't the planet that will be destroyed, but the wicked humans responsible for all the rot....along with all those who condone the wrongdoing and who promote the worship of false gods, be they human or otherwise.

Why is that so important? Because of what it means for the earth itself and all living things upon it. It not only means the end of all wickedness, but the return to one true mode of worship, and the end of all false worship. It means that every human living will exalt the one true God and Creator of all. Belief in false gods will be eliminated.

It means the end of sickness, suffering and even death itself.
Imagine returning to the conditions that the first humans enjoyed in Eden?....along with the prospect that a wonderful life in that place will never end. How can we not be excited about that?

Whilst so many concentrate on getting themselves into heaven one way or another...the promise held out to the majority of mankind is a return of life in the paradise we all lost at the beginning...right here on earth.

Honestly why worry so much about the world ending questions in the first place?

The only ones who need to worry are those whose lives are out of sync with the commands of the Creator through the teachings of his son.

 

[Enoch07]

I'm not troubled so much by the prospect of dying...as I am by the prospect of surviving the initial catastrophe and being faced with a slow and painful death from starvation, radiation, blast effects, etc....

Well I guess it depends on what happens. I don't know a whole lot a out what other religions say about the end of the world. But for instance the Christian end times. There is nothing to worry about. We all die fairly instantly, we won't have to worry about a slow painful death. No chance for survival. Complete extinction of the human race, in the blink of an eye.

Don't know if that helps anyone else. But it helps me sleep at night.

 

[BSM1]

Because it probably isn't and that's a terrible way of living. I'd end up in the barry place faster than you can say, Go.

Go!

Still with us?

 

[BSM1]

and of course, once they're right, no one is around to care much, anyway...just sayin'

Pure speculation...where's your stats?

It New Beginning, the New World started on the evening of May 23rd AD1844, wich was also the year AH1260. Those that have ears listen to what the Spirit has said to the Churches. The Promise was fulfilled.

Yes it is very exciting being part of that promise and living in the day we can choose to be part of it.

Whilst so many concentrate on getting themselves into heaven one way or another...the promise held out to the majority of mankind is a return of life in the paradise we all lost at the beginning...right here on earth.

You now have been called, tarry not at the 'Gate', enter and find the 'Glory of God' in full splendor

The only ones who need to worry are those whose lives are out of sync with the commands of the Creator through the teachings of his son.

We should all be concerned that Gods Message has again been rejected and we bring Clamities upon ourselves and all Humanity.

Two things that are problematic are that a population on a planet could be about to self-destroy and that they could populate space without being ready. Nature wants us to survive, but we have to squeeze between those problems for it to be worth it.

Nature wants us to survive? Where'd you come up with that idea?

 

[Valjean]

I hear the earth is to be struck by an unknown, hidden planet. Ermm, unknown, hidden planet... How does anyone know.?

No, not scientists but one scientist, David Meade who actually is a research scientist who just happens to quote the bible to justify his prediction's

Hidden planets? Please.
All it takes is climate change.

That is a very different interpretation of what's presented in Revelation and other end-time prophecies, such as sections of Daniel...The Late Great Planet Earth and lots of other fire-and-brimstone authors in the last six decades describe how hundreds of millions to billions will die from war, pestilence, famine, etc....that doesn't sound like painless instantaneous death to me...

When the world ends, we will all look up into the sky and see this:

 

[Grandliseur]

Ragnarok is the prophecy of the end-times in Norse myth, where a new world rises from the ashes of a great war. The Mayan calendar ended in 2012 (when compared to the Georgian calendar) which people misinterpreted. Now apparently Biblical numerologists think the world will end two days from now.

Why do some care so much about when and how the world will end? How did the world not "end" already in the past? For all we know Ragnarok passed and we're living in it's ashes. And it's not like the world ending or continuing will change the fact that we're gonna die someday, predicted or not.

Christians were told that it isn't our business to know the hour when this world will end. Thus fixing a time is going against that.

Unfortunately, it seems that even if I were to say, the Sep 23 seems to be indicated to be the time when some things might begin, what exactly is unknown -- such statement many times becomes changed by others, exaggerated into me having said 'the end of the world starts that day' which I would never say.

Any way, it should be emphasized that Christians were told that when this world's end begins is none of our business:

Acts 1:Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel? 7 And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;
​

I wish those who print the news had this scripture in front of them when they write these sensational stories.

My grandfather, who is dead, said that it was not death he feared; rather, it was the process. In the things that are happening now, I think the death of the world and its rebirth is the same. It looks like it is not the death of our human world that should be feared, for a new world has been promised; rather, it is the process of the death of the world that we should fear.

The prophesies are stark and hold no hope for this in between time, and looking at the recent events while war is looming on the horizon, they seem to be happening now - earthquakes, storms, super-volcanoes, and if WWIII begins - then surely suffering shall increase in proportions we have never before experienced.

Biblical is only thing that matters. Revelations is very clear. There will be about 6 months of troubles right up until the end, then poof total extinction. So at most we have 6 months of hard times, but it better than being dragged out for years.

Thessalonians 5

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

The end comes after peace and safety on earth has been declared. That is when the Lord implements Revelations.

How can you know which 6 months are the 6 months?

The concern is a basic one. Not only cannot man create any utopia, he is bound to destroy himself without divine intervention.

I trusted Jesus and when I go, I will be transformed so that I can inhabit utopia, without destroying it.

 

[Enoch07]

How can you know which 6 months are the 6 months?

Nobody knows when.

 

[BSM1]

Nobody knows when.

So what's the point of the prophecy? If the prophecy is true then we wouldn't even know it until after the fact. This is the inherent problem with a generalized prophecy.

To let everyone know whats coming. So that we can get our ducks in a row before hand spiritually. Its comforting for me, to know that in the end it all workd out in Gods grand plan.

But, again, how would you know which 6 months are the final 6 months?

 

[Milton Platt]

If that is what you really want, then the world has already eneded.

In the end we are but again dust.

We are called to higher thoughts.

You completely missed the point, didn't you??? If someone is convinced (and saying to others) that the world is coming to an end, but they cling to material possessions, they are not actually convinced the world is ending. It's just a snarky way of proving they are just blowing smoke.

 

[Kemosloby]

It has happened or is happening. A new world rises from the ashes of the great wars, I, II, and maybe III. That's called the New World Order, and Ragnarak or Satan rises from the ashes and becomes head of the New World Order. But then there is another ending of the world, when Jesus comes back and destroys the world and creates a New World with a New World Order.

Wonder how many of the "Enders" quit their jobs last week?
