End Times: Part 3

this is going to be pretty long... but kinda puts it together somewhat. for those who haven't been following our little series here (or are a little rusty), let's review. in Part 1 we talked about how the world's going to be prime for antichrist's taking. he'll come promising peace. we also talked about how peace is something the world desparetly craves right now. the protests that were going on about the war in Iraq blew anything that happened during the 60's out of the water. the protests against vietnam, the civil right's movement, etc.

in the second one we talked about where antichrist will rule from (the Bible tells us it's going to be Babylon). in the Bible it talks about how ancient Babylon will be rebuilt to become the throne of antichrist. it will be the capitol of the world (1 government, 1 currency, 1 dictator). we also discussed how it's kinda interesting how Iraq's being rebuilt, and made ready for a new ruler, by the US. what's really interesting about that is that ancient Babylon sits on present day Iraq.

now... for part 3. signs in the world.

And 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.

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

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

And then shall many be offended and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another....

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold...

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Then shall two be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken, and the other left." - Matthew 28.

wars and rumours of wars... just watch the news. this also goes along with nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.

about the earthquakes... from the time records were kept in 1900, until 1998, there were, from 1900-1910: 3 measuring 6.0 or higher on the Richter Scale. from 1930-1940 there were 5, from 1970-1980 there were 56, from 1980-1989, there were 310, from 1990-1998 there were 731+.

anyone hear about that extremely rare 5.something that hit 7 states, centered in GA, that just happened a few days ago? and then just a couple days ago i heard about a 6.something that hit turkey ("and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places")

there's pleanty of pestilence and famine going around the world as well.

the stuff about Noe. that's just to emphasise just how bad the world is going to be right before the rapture. in the days of Noah, the world was so bad, that God killed everyone but Noah and his family. everywhere i look i am reminded of how horrible these times really are. the rapture is to keep those who are saved from having to go through the Tribulation Period. those who live through the Tribulation Period (only 1 out of 4 people will survive the entire 7 years) will be experiencing hell on earth... after the first 3 and a half years the world will literally be ruled by satan.

so, to summerize what's going on.

1: the world's prime for the taking. the world wants peace more than anything else. to give an example other than the war. the US, Palestine, and Israel are SERIOUSLY talking about peace (the Antichrist will sign a peace treaty with Israel for 7 years).

2: ancient Babylon is being rebuilt for it's future ruler. the Bible says Babylon will be rebuilt for antichrist to rule the world from. could we be witnessing this very thing with the rebuilding of Iraq?

3: earthquakes, famine, pestelience, people hating others for their beliefs (take the taliban and their jihad for example), wars and rumours of wars... combine this with the world wanting peace, and Babylon being rebuilt... that's a whole lot of VERY specific prophecy that's coming true...

so the question continues... Are we living in the end times?

 

you do know Nostrodamus got a lot of his writings from the Bible, right?

EDIT: another thing regarding the earthquakes. according to science, geothermal activity should be slowing down with the ageing of the earth, thus producing less earthquakes that are also less severe. if this is true, why are we seeing more earthquakes that are growing more severe, and more widespread as the years go by?

 

so, if we're overdue for a pole flip, and it occured, that could explain the global earthquake that will accompany the 6th seal judgement from revelation.

and you can give the "people have been proclaiming the end for 23987439 years thing" all ya want. but never before in history have the signs been so prevelant. never before have so many specific signs been happening at the same time. it says "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places." if you'll notice, that's all 1 sentence. this means it's all going to be happening at the same time. watch tv, what will you notice? that each and every single one of these things is happening. not just sporatically, but on a very widespread scale ("in divers places.").

i'm not saying there won't be a scientific explaination for the earthquakes... i'm saying that they were prophecied to happen thousands of years ago, along with all the other signs (and trust me... there's more. i'm just getting started) that are happening, it's pretty convincing.

oh, and by the way... those idiots who sell all their stuff, and lock themselves in a bunker are just dumb. if the end's coming, there's nothing we can do to stop it... i know no one knows exactly when it's going to come... but the signs are screaming that it's near. no where in any history book will you read about the world being in such a pathetic state. we're on the verge of destruction with dictator/warmonger bush in office. knowing him... if the rapture does come while he's in office, and the antichrist takes the throne, he'll try to rebel with a couple other countries. the rebellion will be squashed of course, and this could explain why the U.S. of A. isn't mentioned as a world power in any scripture.

i'm sorry, but if you can't be honest to yourself, swallow your pride for a second, and admit how it's kinda weird how all this stuff is happening all at once, and how it was all written down almost 2,000 years ago (some of it much more... maybe around 4,000 (give or take) years ago), then you cannot claim to be open-minded. because an open-minded person would at least CONSIDER the possibility of it being true. i mean open your eyes. can you honestly look around at the world around you and honestly tell me that it's not the worst it's ever been??? history is being made on an almost daily basis... things haven't been this hectic ever. it usually took centuries for things to happen that compare to the things we see on the telivision regularly.

i'm not trying to be offensive or anything by saying you're not open-minded... i'm just trying to be honest because i care.

 

well. i can honestly say i keep an open mind. you're not arguing with a Christian Fundamentalist church... you're debate is with me... and trust me, my mind is open. i stick to my beliefs firmly... only because i've seen too much proof.

sure, you can show something in the Bible that's not rational or logical... but you can also show a lot of things in science that are the same.

just because it's not rational, doesn't make it untrue.
