Does ANYONE read the daily news around here? (no offense) The world is in a sin sick mess!!
1 Thess. 5:4-5 & 1 Thess. 5:3
--Elijah
When has the world not been in a sin sick mess? I personally think it is getting better, and has been getting better ever since Jesus' first came.
Where friend have you been hiding out at! ;)
--Elijah
For someone who believes in no new thing under the sun, why would you believe the world is changing either way?
I believe Jesus' incarnation is that new thing, and since then things have been getting better. He has already overcome the world, so it's really just a matter of time. Our personal view is distorted, as it would be in bodies that get old, sick, and eventually die. Yet the world we leave behind is getting better, as it should be if we have been doing the Lord's work.
So now comes from Matt. 24:21 on... (stay tuned!)
--Elijah
21 For then shall be great
gtribulation,
ghsuch as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except
ithose days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for
kthe elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then
lif any man shall say unto you, Lo, here
is Christ, or there; believe
it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and
mfalse prophets, and
nshall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if
itwere possible, they shall deceive the very
kelect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if
othey shall say unto you, Behold, he is in
pthe desert; go not forth: behold,
heis in the
qsecret chambers; believe
it not.
PS: And the history sure did repeat with the flood ones! Gen. 6:3
