Do You Believe We're In The"Last Days"?

[Danalys]

2010 will be intresting i think. or is it 2012. perhaps just for i.

 

[maxwell's demon]

2012.
but the whole mayan calaendar tie in to that year is due to an extreme misreading of the mayan way of recording dates. it actually traslates to like 2000012 or something.

 

[JLBats]

...SHEEP!

Couldn't you at least come up with a new word for it?

My thesaurus has some very good words that could fit.

conformist, follower, traditionalist, copycat, lemming, yes man

I'm thinking "lemming" would be pretty good. And whenever you say it, describe yourself as:

antonym: individualist

Where in the bible does it talk about Israel becoming a nation again? If I'm not mistaken, I think it says that the generation that sees it reform will see Jesus coming back. Granted, I've not read it and have only heard it from others, but that's why I'm asking if anyone knows where it talks about it so I can read it up.

I'm also curious about where the prophecy is about Israel being miraculously saved by an invading army from the north or something of those lines. Might be something to study with this whole war thing they're going into.

And yes, I do believe that the end is near, but I'm not down about it. I'm actually kinda excited. If it's tomorrow, then cool, if it's 40 years from now, then cool. Either way... I'll be good.... unless Bison's right about that whole JW thing.... then it'll suck

Amos 9:15 says God would plant the Jews in their own land again, 'never' to be uprooted again. So, we know Israel is still important to God, hence why 1948 happened. There's other scriptures as to this as well.

As for the Lord saving Jerusalem from armies, you can read Zechariah 14:1-5.

If the End of Days is here, then I already know where I'm going, even though I would love it if my Grandchildren had to deal with the stuff.
If the world ends now, I wont be too worried, because what I am going to do about it?

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I was very intentional in my use of "SHEEP".

 

[Danalys]

in time backwards sheep are wolves and visa versa.

 

[Warhammer]

I know.

 

[JLBats]

How about lamb?

Or corpuscel?

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

That goes great with my breakfast.

 

[Green Goblin 1964]

we will never know if this is the last day that's why we should live every day to the fullest.

One of my biggest problems with the Bible, personally.

Just reading the Mathew verses, it seems to me that he wasn't refuring to those he spoke to but to the ones he's refuring to in his parable. He tells the parable of the fig tree and then says that the generation will not pass untilall the things are fulfilled. To me that sounded like he was refuring to the generation of people that will see the prophecies fulfilled. I've also always thought about it as a new generation starting from Jesus's coming to his return... one full generation of the world (the first being from beginning to Noah and the second from Noah to Jesus' time). That's just a notion of my own though. Eh.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I heard a pastor friend say something about how the bible typically refured to generations in quantities of like (and I'm estimating here) 30, 70, and 100 years quantities. If this is one of those times when he's refuring to a generation in that manor, then supposivly the end will be sometime before 2048 (2018 being the 70 year mark). I don't really know when the end will be, but it's fun to think about.

And those verses in Zechariah I think refurs to something differant than what I was thinking. Those refur to what I believe to be the end of the Tribulation and Christ's return to set up his kingdom. I'm refuring to a notion that Israel will be attacked (some believed Russians or Oriental countries) to the North and that they will be maraculously saved. The Left Behind books mentioned it but I don't recall the verses they gave out. A few of my friends and I were talking about it and though we all knew of the idea, none of us know where it is in the bible.

So, they asked him, "When will we see these events". And he answered, "The people who see these events will not pass away without having seen these events."?

 

[8Ball2/JanG5]

Except, they've been increasing in intensity since that time.

Absolutely no evidence of that. Perhaps you don't know what history is. It's HISTORY.

freakin dolt...

 

[JewishHobbit]

How does that confuse you? If people see the events fulfilled, they know that the end is coming soon, and not 300 years later. I don't think it's that hard.

 

[Danalys]

it is like how i type without punctuation you supply the punctuation yourself.

 

[JewishHobbit]

huh?

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

That's how the Bible is. There's no puncuation in the original language. It was all placed there when it was translated into English.

This is how 7th Day Adventists get around Jesus' statement: "I tell you, this day I will see you in Paradise."

They maintain that what Jesus really said was, "I tell you this day,...I will see you in Paradise."

 

[Movies205]

Wow... "Last Days"... Do you even know what Revelations is and why it was written. It's a highly symbolic piece of literature written in a time when christians were being massively persecuted, they needed some kind of hope, so someone going around saying hte Last Days are here, has really done this, it's like trying to read lanuage you don't know and just keying in on things you think it means...


z0mG the RAPTURE IS COMING!!! THE RAPTURE IS COMING!

So for instance:

"I am a big fan of eating pie as well as ****ing hookers"

could really be:

"I am a big fan of eating, pie, as well as ****ing, hookers!"

?

 

[Danalys]

well if you were a fat hooker lover it would be true.

 

[jaguarr]

Living in fear is no way to live at all.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

damn, there's a much better example that Christians always use to illustrate the importance of context but ah cain't remember it right now.
