The Bible declared this about the year 32 A. D. MATHEW 24;3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows. Its not all, Doom and Gloom, actually providing you get in God's ship of our Saviour Jesus Christ. Don't go with the Manmade Ship.And all it's interpretations of the time's we are in.
Titanic sunk, The one God made. The one Noah made. It didn't sink.

   

More baseless fear-mongering, I see.

Try to convince people with rational thinking, for a change.

   

Blue_nose...Read verse 6, rumours of wars? NAtion rising against nation? kingdom agaisnt kingdom? Famines? Earthquakes? All thsi was written many, many, Years ago.

   

And in the many years hence, many people have thought that their particular set of instances was the beginning of the end.

The constant question with those trying to figure out when Jesus is coming back (apart from the fact that Jesus himself denounces it and says that only God knows) is how do we know this guy saying this is the real deal? It's just as likely that they are one of the false prophets we are warned about.

   

those things have been in existance when the book was written, long before that, and ever since.

When hasn't there been a nations rising against each other, famines. or earthquakes? It's like 'forseeing' that it's going to snow in February.

   

There has been more nations against nations and therest, more than before. Earthquakes, more than before. Blue_nose.It's really accurate.

   

Read it again, Jesus has specifically said "The end is not yet" I never said it was the end. Or the coming of the Lord. Jesus even said that. He said, these are the beginning of sorrows. I enterprted as beginning of the End. Me a deciever. Hardly. How am I a deciever? Please explain. Don't start accusing about something, that you just percieve.To be true.

   

I can't explain about snow in february. But, 1 against 3 happenings seem a lot like being outwieghed?

   

It's really vague. Give us a ETA, thefactremains - next week, next year... before 2010?

   

So was the "enlightened idea" of saying that Jews would destroy the world.

Of course there's going to be famine, war, rivalry, etc.


Hell, look at this...


There shall be a great war in the future, and it shall rain in the future.


Holy Shit! Put me in the Bible, I can predict what's going to happen!

   

Okay, one: bullshit.

Two: prove it.

   

Writtin between 40-50 A.D.

2 Timothy 3

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;





7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.



13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. I can see alot of these things that are happening in our day

   

I would like to point out that there have been many times in history where people and Christians have thought the end times were near.

To name only a few...


Attila and Bleda's invasion

The Greco-Persian Wars

Collapse of the Roman Empire

Hannibal's invasion

Genghis Khan and his Mongol Horde

WWI

WWII

Russian Revolution of 1917(Bolsheviks)

Assyrian invasion of Mesopotamia

Hyksos invasion of Ancient Egypt

Europeans and Americans coming to Asia

Suez Crisis

The Moroccan Crises





Note: These are only those that are off the top of my head...

   

Interpreting Signs
Is a Serious Matter!

“At first I thought that our son Andreas just had a headache. But he lost his appetite and had a high fever. The headache got worse, and I became worried. When my husband came home, we took Andreas to the doctor. He checked the symptoms and sent Andreas straight to the hospital. The problem was more serious than a headache. Andreas had meningitis. He was treated and was soon well again.”—Gertrud, a mother in Germany.

GERTRUD’S experience is probably familiar to many parents. They observe signs indicating that their child might be ill. Though not every illness is serious, parents cannot afford to ignore symptoms of ill health in their children. Observing the signs and taking appropriate action may make a big difference. It is a serious matter.

This is true in matters other than health. A case in point is the tsunami disaster in December 2004 in areas surrounding the Indian Ocean. Agencies in such places as Australia and Hawaii detected the massive earthquake in northern Sumatra and foresaw the potential danger of the aftereffect. Yet, there were no means in place for the people in the endangered areas to receive or respond to any warning. As a result, more than 220,000 lives were lost.
Signs of Much Greater Importance

When Jesus Christ was on earth, he gave his listeners a lesson in observing signs and acting accordingly. He was talking about something of far-reaching importance. The Bible reports: “The Pharisees and Sadducees approached him and, to tempt him, they asked him to display to them a sign from heaven. In reply he said to them: ‘When evening falls you are accustomed to say, “It will be fair weather, for the sky is fire-red”; and at morning, “It will be wintry, rainy weather today, for the sky is fire-red, but gloomy-looking.” You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot interpret.’”—Matthew 16:1-3.

In mentioning “the signs of the times,” Jesus indicated that his first-century Jewish listeners should have been aware of the urgency of the times in which they were living. The Jewish system of things was about to experience a cataclysm that would affect all of them. A few days before his death, Jesus spoke to his disciples about another sign—the sign of his presence. What he said on that occasion is of vital importance to everyone today.
