The end times valid?

[sportsdude11751]

Back when the bible was written, they thought the end times were coming on them then. What makes it different from then vs today?

You mean inspired writers were wrong?

 

[sportsdude11751]

If they thought the end times was going to occur during their life, then yeah. So what would make it different from today

The difference is they were right.

Just like a juicy worm, dangled before a hungry fish! Ha!

There has been MUCH water over the dam since those days. The nation of Israel once again exists. It existed then, but was destroyed. They understood none of this before it happened. We are looking back, and hind site is so much better!

Yes, holy men wrote as they were inspired of God. What they wrote was not wrong. The problem is, some don't understand it; others don't believe it. They called it the end times then, and it was. It is ever so much more so today. Every day that goes by brings us one day closer to the day of the Lord! That is a fact. Believe it!

here are a few points. the bible talks of on world government. un is triing that aswell as the u.s. theyare both going for democracy in the world as a whole. the technology for the whole world to see things is here. technology for the mark of the beast is here. israel is a country again. the two witnesses fell to the earth. all of the crazy wether patterns in the world. earth quakes and flooding in diverse places. false prophets are rising everywhere. 2 timothy 3 and 4 are definately being seen.

no one can say when the time will come. but the only thing i really see missing is the war that takes place in migeddo [armageddon]. but it seems as though it is not far away from us now i believe.

In Matt 24, Jesus prophesied that many false christs/messiahs/prophets/ teachers would come & deceive many people

& He did not say that His return would be in His hearers' lifetime: He'd already prophesied the fall of Jerusalem & went on to prophesy Israel's rebirth: it is this generation that has seen the fig tree of Israel put forth her roots in rebirth that will see Jesus return

Jeremiah 31 & Ezekiel 36 etc also prophesied the climax generation to start with the rebirth of Israel

In addition to the signs already mentioned to show that this is the climax generation of all history, Daniel 12 prophesied that both travel & knowledge would multiply at the time of the end

Daniel 7 prophesied the revived Roman Empire for this time, to 'crush, devour & trample' victims until the 'Ancient of Days crushes it'

When the Treaty of Rome founded the then-EEC, founding father Monet hailed it as a revived Roman Empire & many modern EU leaders have echoed that phrase

I'll close by emphasising what others have said: only this generation has all the techno for both the Global Big Brother covert surveillance & for Armageddon

The accuracy of the FX of global thermonuclear holocaust in Zechariah 14 are astounding: men's eyes, tongues & flesh do indeed rot while they still stand - before the bodoes hit the ground

The vision of military helicopters spraying biochems out of the back, in Revelation 9, is also astounding

As is its prophecy of 200 million oriental troops invading Israel: when Revelation was written, the whole world population was less than 200 million

But in 1961, Chairman Mao boasted that China alone could field 200 million militia 'at the drop of a hat' - her population is now @ 1.25 billion & an amazing % are males of military age, as they long killed off baby girls

As Isaiah said, only God has told us the end from the beginning

Hope that helps readers to warn all you love before it's too late
