The Tribulation

bobbalina · Feb 16, 2009, 05:35 AM

does anyone really know when the end of the world is coming? does anybody know whats going to happen? is it really going to be like the 'Left Behind' movie?

Do you really want to try and live through the tribulation? While there are many that will not make the taking away of God's church signaling the start of the end, few will make it through the seven years of pure hell here on earth. And fewer still will accept Jesus as their Lord and savior because of the lies and deceit, and yes the persecution during this time. Personally I want to be ready to go when God calls his church home.

No doubt. Who in their right mind would want to live through those 7 years?

Regardless of what we want, though, there is a plan that we don't know the details of.

The rapture may be pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation or post tribulation...or none of the above. The bottom line is just don't know for sure.

...so all we can do is be sure that we are ready today.

is that it? well i know the Bilbe aint all fun and games but thats harsh...i always thought and believed that if u didnt make it the first time then u could have a chance for the second one...well that just changes everything

The scripture here should be understood to apply to saved people of all ages, not just the last one. What is said to be judged here are men's WORKS, not whether they will go to Heaven or not. It plainly says that some will be saved, but everything they worked for in this life will be burnt up because it was not built according to God's will and plan. Whatever you do, make it as to the Lord, for His glory. Lead people to Jesus and those works will endure for ever.

No one can know when will exactly be the end. But we know is that we are living in the End Times. Only God The Father, knows when... Apocalypse cannot be described properly in films. It's far more than what you can see. Btw, I've watched all the three Left Behind movies

The rapture won't happen until the last person to be in the Church gets saved. As far as machine guns go...NO it is NOT true. John in Revelation wrote of future events and he tried to explain things he had NEVER seen before . It would be difficult to live in that time period and see future helicopters, nuclear bombs, gun, trucks, cars.....he had nothing to compare it to to his day. He describes things the best he could...for instance he says (paraphrasing) that there were giant locus with a mans head that would sting a man and that sting would last 5 months. Now you can take that literally or some think it could be a helicopter...so he didn't mention anything any type of machinery but tried to compare it to what he already KNEW to describe things.

I have said it before and although RickJ thinks end times can be interrupted defiantly...i don't. I think the bible is crystal clear when you study ALL the scripture..both nt and out.
