Hello Christians:

I've been reading the thread about some date that's rapidly approaching, when the earth will end, or something like that... The people engaged in that thread actually believe it.

I suppose, if you believe in your religion, that would be something you'd think... My question is, and I mean no disrespect, how do you deal with your day to day life KNOWING there's only a few days left???

I cannot imagine waking up each day knowing I had only a few mornings left. Do you REALLY believe that this upcomming date is it, or is it just some undetermined time wayyyy down the road?

But, I'm interested in hearing from those of you who think there's only weeks left.

my belief is different i believe god made the beutiful globe for a purpose and he will fulfill that purpose one day it says
"he will bring to ruin those ruining the earth"
i dont want to go to heaven annd be a angel i would much rather live right here on a clean disese free planet
that is why i have NEVER felt the threat of a global nuclear attack he will not allow it
that is when he will step in

Great post, Classy.

I don't know what others think, but I'm not basing my expectations on some Mayan calendar, or time lines from some old book, not even the Bible. Now don't get upset. If the timeline was there, certainly Jesus would have known it, right?

I base my expectations of what will happen on coming events, interpreted by the Scriptures.

Example: Both Daniel and John were given visions of a "Little Horn". (Anti-Christ). Daniel saw him coming from one of the divisions of the old Grecian Empire. He also saw him coming from the 4th beast, unknown by name to Daniel, but known to us (and John) as Rome.

John saw a "beast" with 7 heads and 10 horns, and then a "little horn" roots out 3 of the 10 horns and assumes power over the government/coalition that will be the final world power that will opress Israel in the "times of the Gentiles".

You see, John saw the entire "times of the Gentiles" starting with Egypt, then Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Rome, the future 10 government alliance, and finally by the Anti-Christ. Daniel saw the same sequence, only starting with Babylon.

When we see 10 nations that were within the boundaries of the Greek Empire and Rome come together in an alliance, the next major occourance will be the rise of a consummate politician who will be able to gain the backing of the Muslim world and also the confidence of Israel. Then the treaty will be made that Anti-Christ will break after 3 1/2 years. I suspect that those 10 nations will all be Islamic.

It will not signal the end of the world, only the end of the Church age and after the 7 year Tribulation, the Millennium when Jesus Christ will reign unchallenged and the saints will work in the administration of affairs on Earth.

Make your application for a job in the Millennium early.

Hi Ex.

I like your threads.

Well I don't think the world is coming to an end in 2012 or whatever other time it will be.

I watched the movie Zeigeist, not sure if you did.
Zeitgeist, The Movie - Remastered / Final Edition

In that video it talks about the end times. It made sense to me.

To be honest, I am not sure what to believe but the last thing I want to do is to be trapped in some religion. I have my own morals. I know not to kill a person... no matter how angry they make me-- ahem.

Back to the subject:

Will there be an end time-- well by the looks of the gaping ozone layer and this whole global warming stuff, I say yeah.

Also, doesn't the sun last for 10 billion years-- eek. What will we ever do when it burns out. Oh yeah, die.

I remember there being a website where the closeness to rapture was tracked by looking at world events and corresponding them to the warning signs in the bible. Does anyone know where that was? It was really interesting.

But that would only work from the popularity of the web circa 1995 and on. I'm quite certain this end-of-times talk has gone on for much longer than that.

I wish I had a good joke here, but I don't. I am a Catholic and my Husband is Jewish (he will be going to Hell, of course) LOL in case no one got that.

We are attempting to live our lives as much as possible. We are not thinking about pending doom, or dwelling on it. It sounds like the Christians are doing the same thing, but still thinking about it.

I do NOT mean that disrespectfully. I'm just listening to what has been written.

I was born a Catholic (my Mother 'of course') than raised 5 years Babtist, 3 years Protestant and then went on to learn what I could about the Jewish religion, this was all before I was 15 years old. I respect it all and understand some.

But I will never believe that someone can tell me Tuesday will never come again

Again I have no spell check and it's pissing me off!

End time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not the best for information,but it gives a list of end time predictions by different religious groups.

End times are not just a Christian belief,it is a belief by all the monotheistic faiths and other predictions have been found in different ancient calenders too.


Here is another site with end of the world signs.

Cool, I learned a new word: eschatology - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

Hi ex.... as previous posts have said, this date has been predicted, over and over.

The truth is no one knows...

I basically disagree with JesusHelper saying we can not know the end times, the Bible says you can not know the exact date but you can know the time and the season meaning when we ARE in the end times we will know it. Non believers will refuse to believe it though no matter how bad it is and how exact the Bible has predicted it.
People who have predicted they were in the end times in the past did it without lining up all the Biblical prophecies.
Everything IS lined up now.
BUT, as for my comments, I have not said when the end as in the last day will be, but rather that we are in the beginning of the end times. But with the end times we can come up with an approximate idea of the 'last days'

I find this very interesting from the little I have watched so far
