Last Days

Hopefully we are in the last days of believing in the "Last days". Whatever higher power has evolved us to this point, would be amiss to throw this grand experiment down the toilet...

Remember, Christians are a minority on this planet. I don't think God, Mother Nature, or whatever you term the higher power, is about to mass murder most of the people on this green earth. God is not a terrorist.

You're right, God isn't a terrorist.

People are terrorists.

Revelation

Revelation doesn't "clearly predict" anything, stop treating the bible like a Where's Waldo. God isn't "out" of our schools either. just because we don't sanction time for christian prayer thus isolating students of other religions does not mean we discourage people from having faith. Also yeah on the whole take out the gunman advice...come on, really, go play in traffic

Revelation wasn't written to be ignored; God says through the apostle John (the writer of Revelation) that Revelation was written so that specific people in the end times, through the power of the holy spirit, could read and understand what will be going on in the world.

The first chapter of Revelation opens with:

"Blessed is he who reads and understands the words of this prophecy, because the time is near."

Revelation is the only book of the Bible that tells us that we are 'blessed' if we read it.

Revelation can be a hard book to understand. If you have a hard time with it, I recommend commentary books, such as John McArthur's 'Commentary on Revelation Chapter 1 - 11'... and also 'Commentary on Revelation Chapter 12 - 22' even if you don't believe in the Bible, I'm sure you'll find these books interesting reading.

This is insane...... yes you the writer and the president of that country...... He's bluffing and stating his intentions, something not that uncommon for an enemy of the state to do. You're making the mistake of confusing cause with correlation. Read freakonomics. Seriously conceder the concepts. Go back and reeee read your bible and forget what you think you know. Don't make any assumptions about what it means or when its going to happen, to a true christian it doesnt matter either way. ;)

There's a chance that the President of Iran is bluffing -- but what would he gain, other than comparisons to Nazi Germany, who the History Channel recently aired a show titled, "The Occult History of the Third Reich." Apparently, Hitler also had an interest in 'New Age' channeling.

Hitler thought that if his regime could contact the 'spirit world', he could get technological secrets.

Why would the Pres. of Iran want to be associated with anything 'Nazi'? Well, as far as he's concerned, he probably doesn't think he's 'New Age' channeling. He thinks he's in contact with the Imam holy to Islam.

Of course the Bible states otherwise. There is no '12th and Holy Imam' in the Bible. There are only demons, who pretend to be 'gods'. That is stated in multiple places in the Bible.

See: The 'New Age' of Iran

Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Randy, if you're a faithful believer in Christ and follow God's commandments, you have no need to fear the mark of the Anti-Christ or run for the hills...

If God finds you 'worthy' (see Luke 21:33-36 and Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation), you will be in the first rapture of Christians and completely escape the 'Great Tribulation'.

You do not need to be 'Left Behind'.

god 2.0

If you want a good laugh read the stuff they put on the "how to survive the last days" page I mean really i don't beleve that the pres of Iran really could do any of this, becides, If he did all we would need to do is have the troops in Iraq and Afganistan march, drive, fly,or whetever over to Iran and we would have a fifty-first state an about an hour. Besides the discriptinos fit the Roman Empire better than the U.S. (it was destroyed by god ,crist,) I applogise for not takeing this "thret" *lol* seriousily. Becides if any of this bull happens what can we do about it

Iran can pull off an attack on the United States by providing Islamic radicals with nuclear weapons. North Korea and other nations, including Russian organized crime for the right price, are also likely to provide radicals with nuclear weapons. Since the Soviet Union fell, some of their nuclear stockpile disappaeared, and Bin Laden is reported to have purchased some of these.

Other radical groups, for example Iran-linked Hezbollah, is also likely to pull off a nuclear attack on U.S. cities, and believed to be in the process of planning these attacks.

We have no concrete evidence, but enough world wide rumors from enough people in the right places, to make us realize that the U.S. is not safe from a nuclear attack. I and many others believe a nuclear attack could in fact happen this year.

I also believe this is prophecied in the Bible, and begins the hour of judgement (Revelation 14:6). Please refer to articles listed at the top right hand column of the page.

Come on.

There's no way to know until it happens. It's all just speculation. Just be ready and live like Christ is coming today.

That's all.

Bride Of Christ

Hear my words, listen to my voice, the days are short, and the time is at hand. Gather to yourselves all them who are righteous, and look to the skies, for he who waits looking for the Blessed Return of their Lord, shall be given a crown. To them that await the Great Day of the Rapture, will be blessed.
This says the Lord God, your Dad and Mine,
repent of any wickedness, any thought of hatred or revenge, put away the secret sins, that corrupt your heart and thoughts, pray for your enemies, bless them that hate you, do good to them that use you, for the hour of your Lord's Return is at hand.
Seek My face, look for the signs I have sent to you, know that the time is at hand, and I will Return for you, I have patiently waited, and I grow tiard of Evil in the World, I am returning soon, the time is even at your doors, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, who was, Is, and is to Come, as I promised, I shall fulfill, I am coming soon, and I bring my reward with me.
Servant of the Lord of Hosts,
-- Malachi.

End Times

For those who are carnal, the spiritual has little to no meaning. The advents happening in the world, is predestined for the world, she is on a path headed to a direction of destruction, what the Bible says will happen, will indeed happen. No matter how you interpret today's times, it is all a part of the Antichrist's plan, it is through the Political corruption and the War generals, and the world Powers, through, the Terrorists, through the world Bank, through Globalization, through the European Union, and through Israel that the Antichrist will rule the World, everything that is happening in the world now, is suppose to happen, thus ushers in the reign of the Antichrist, and all the corrupted Powers of the world, bow and hand over Authority to the Beast and the Antichrist.

Do not question, why these things happen, only know that the world is where Dad planned it to be, right now. And everything that is happening, whether Political, Global, or Natural, is all part of the plan of Dad, to usher in the Tribulation, and the Blessed Rapture that we have waited countless lifetimes for, to take us Home to be His Bride, Forever.

ancient and modern Babylon

Daniel Chapter Five is history and it is also a prophecy. Persia conquered ancient Babylon by strategy and it happened quickly; Babylon's army had no time to hit back. Daniel (God's servant in that time) knew and foretold what would happen, but the people were not living right and the governors were not well prepared (like the US now).

Ancient Persia has become Iran.! and ancient Babylon has become the US.! God's servants (like Daniel) see the writing on the wall and are proclaiming it but... is anyone listening?

Last Days for certain

I see what is happening and God has revealed the truth. I believe in Jesus and have begun the difficult task of conditioning my life as it should be. I will witness but I will not dignify an unbeliever by trying to argue the point. God has laid it out before us...accept it or not...once again the choice is yours...I accept the truth! May Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me, a sinner!

Rapture

Hi i enjoy this site very much,but i don't agree with you on Matt 24:39,if that were the cass,it would mean half of the world would be Raptur,i think the taken away will be them turning each outher in to save themselfs.

God Bless

In no way does Matt 24:39 imply that half the world would be taken. It's just Jesus' way of describing how it would seem: One would be taken, and one left. There is not enough information to conclude that Jesus meant that the rapture would apply to half of the world's population. In fact, if you read other scripture, specifically chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation, it is quite clear that only a small percentage of people (obedient, faithful Christians) would be taken.

The End Times

Every generation of Christians since the first one has been filled with people who confidently predicted that the End Times and the Judgment would occur 'soon' and certainly within the lifetime of the writer or speaker. Scholars say that John clearly referred to Emperor Nero in Revelations, and that '666' is understood as a reference to Nero based on the rules of the Jewish astrology and numerology of the time.

Since then, the anti-Christ has been identified by each and every generation of faithful Christians and their leaders as a wide variety of kings, popes, crazy monks, and political leaders including Napoleon, Hitler, Saddam Hussein, the European Union, and the petroleum industry. Now the unspellable name of the president of Iran has been added to the list.

The Bible is like a Rubic's Cube: shuffle the verses around with no regard to context and you can prove that W.C. Fields was the anti-Christ because he ordered six whiskeys on the sixth of June, which was the same day he bet $66 on the sixth race at Belmont and won $666.

So far, Christians are batting .000 when it comes to picking the anti-Christ or the date that the trump will blow.

In my opinion, Revelations refers to nothing except events of the first century. It was followed by 1900 years of minsinterpretation by sincere Christians whose imaginations got a little out of hand.

If this poor world blows up, it will be us - not Jesus - that blows it up. And, it probably will blow up; at least that is my prediction.

Regarding past predictions of who will fill the role as Anti-Christ, what else can you expect from the world's most read book? People are going to make guesses, and many in the past have been proven wrong. But that does not change the fact that the Anti-Christ is really going to appear on the world scene as prophecied in the Bible.

Regarding making wild predictions that don't have any actual basis in scripture, people should not shuffle Bible verses around. The Bible isn't a 'choose your own adventure' kids book.

You see, fundamentalist Christians (which is the majority of Christians) read the Bible literally. Meaning, what the Bible says is exactly what it means.

To fundamentalist Christians, the Bible is the Word of God. It is how God wants us to understand his creation, from beginning to the end, which is eternal life in God's kingdom (or eternal hell, that depends on you).

With this in mind, I encourage you to read the Bible, and take what it says *literally*. Don't try to 'crack the code' because there is no code to crack.

If you read the Bible literally, I'm sure you will have an entirely new view of the Bible.

I'm sure you will also take Bible prophecy much more seriously, and it will seem a lot more clear to you, knowing that *what it says is what it means*.

Reply to Terry and others

One could say that there has been speculation throughout the Centuries about who the Anti-Christ is and when the Rapture will occur, BUT 1} Who is to say whether there has been more than one Anti-Christ figure, culminating in "the one"; 2) There has been the occurence of THE "Quickening" within the past 10-20 years...which takes place Before the Great Tribulation Period.
So, in Conclusion, I believe that It is very near. I hope and I pray that I will be "accounted worthy". I love the Lord and would be heart broken if I were left behind. (I shudder at the thought.)
THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!! AMEN

evangelizing in this day and age

If you really belive that the end times are going to happen in the next few years are you living your life the same as you did yesterday or have you started to preach the word to the masses or to your neighbor and friends. You know that the bible says that Evangelizing
In matthew it talks about going out into the streets preaching the word of god
9Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.' 10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests .they evangelized
29:19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
Mark 16:15
15He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.
John 14:12
12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
John 14:15
15"If you love me, you will obey what I command.
The bible says in many places that if you really love me that you will obey all that i command. Jesus commanded that we go out and evangelize to all people and that includes ,family, friends, neighbors and strangers. Let me ask you a question when was the last time you did this one command?
do you care enough whether family or friends go to heaven or hell? I wrote a book that i will give to you for the asking, it's about how together we can heal this nation. In the book are 40 Petitions that I want you to sign from feeding the hungry with the food the restaurants throw away to making the military become self supportive, allowing big business to advertise on the postage stamp lowering our taxes to ending welfare and much more then when I get enough petitions singed then I will go to Washington and make them do what you and I want them to do or they will loose their job

Rapture

The Bible says in the last days man will see visions and dream dreams. When my son was 7 years old he told me about a dream he had regarding the rapture. In his dream he had been sleeping when he heard trumpets blowing, he got up and looked out the window to see the angels blowing the trumpets and Jesus standing in the clouds. He saw all the Christians who had died rise up to meet Jesus and then all the living Christians. He said "It was funny mom, cause I wasn't living with you when it happened." Hmmm! My son is now 34 and lives in Wisconsin, I live in Florida. We need to get ready and study for our finals. I believe it is going to happen soon.

God's Salvation

God's Salvation is for everyone as evident by the following true story: In 1973 my 9 year old daughter was molested and left to die in the woods. Her body was found 3 days later. The day after her funeral as we cleaned out her room we found 12 notes she had written, she folded and stapled them, then labeled them "A GIFT TO YOU FROM GOD" They were all about God's plan of salvation. They were not addressed to Mom or Dad, but to YOU! Which means everyone, even YOU who might read this. One of the notes says: it was from Romans 3:23, For all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD. Another one said: HEAR ARE FIVE THINGS GOD...WANTS YOU TO KNOW, KNOW TO KEEP GROWING IN GOD.
1. Get into the Bible and read what he has to say to you.
2. Talk to God daily, wherever you are.
3. Share the Good news with others.
4. Get involved with other people in a church where Jesus Christ is preached.
5. If you ask Jesus to take over....You Will Just Begin A New Life.
6. SMILE GOD LOVES YOU
Another one?? OK! THE BIBLE SAYS....
For God So loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16
Yet another: That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
That which is born of the spirit is spirit John 3:6
Another one:
THE BIBLE SAYS
1. Admit that you are a sinner
2. Be willing to turn away from sin
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you
4. Ask God in prayer to enter and control your life.
5. So please read the Bible and the word of GOD!
Remember these were written by a 9 year old child. Is it not evident there really is a GOD and he is our salvation? There are more but I believe these to be the most important.
