Until the steam engine came along, the previous centuries were, technologically, almost the same. Walk or ride a beast; row or let the wind blow. We truly live in a time like no other before us.

Agreed, but we've had steam engines for almost 200 years, and the End Times haven't come yet. Todays evil is sufficient for today. Tomorrow will have it's own.

[Mortrey]

And yet, Israel became a country in 1947-8.

The world events in the end times are supposed to be able to be viewed from all areas of the earth simultaneously—(Internet, TV)

The Euphrates supposedly dries up allowing Israel’s enemies to attack— (they have a dam there now that can constrict the water flow)

A plague of locusts...I can think of no better description for our ILLEGAL alien influx, “entitlement” welfare, EBT card recipients-—those that received loans on homes with NO jobs and NO downpayment, progressives that want others to pay for their sexual activity with no consequence and transgender surgery...yeah; a TRUE plague of locusts.

Is his name actually pat burt? He names a rapture site after himself? Sounds very narcisistic, if so.

Nah, not clicking on it.

Thank you

Be it earth changes or Political upheaval in our country or the battle of Armegedon

You've got at least 7 years until Armageddon, because that occurs at the end of the tribulation.

As content free as I've come to expect.

If you'll excuse me, I've got a civil rights march to catch, and likely won't interact with anyone in a timely manner.

My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.

Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.

Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.

Amen.

She became the Mother of God, in which work so many and such great good things are bestowed on her as pass man’s understanding. For on this there follows all honor, all blessedness, and her unique place in the whole of mankind, among which she has no equal, namely, that she had a child by the Father in heaven, and such a Child . . . Hence men have crowded all her glory into a single word, calling her the Mother of God . . . None can say of her nor announce to her greater things, even though he had as many tongues as the earth possesses flowers and blades of grass: the sky, stars; and the sea, grains of sand. It needs to be pondered in the heart what it means to be the Mother of God.

(Commentary on the Magnificat, 1521; in Luther’s Works, Pelikan et al, vol. 21, 326)

Hmmmmm

is this that consistent RC arrogance in freely violating the rules manifesting yet again?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Exodus 20:4-6

King James Version (KJV)

4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Deuteronomy 5:8-10

King James Version (KJV)

8Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

9Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

10And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

What rule exists against posting Scripture?

[Aliska]

when Sharon dies, all ‘hell’ will break loose.

I didn't read any prophecy about him and indeed forgot he was still among the living, and I don't get anything definite, just that there's something significant about it. Like he (and Israel) are being chastised for giving up Gaza and other concessions.

[Quix]

Your assumptions are showing again.

And, I still have no greater capacity to miraculously help rabid clique type RC’s understand my words any better.

My post still stands.

Though I have no intention of violating the rules in an effort to explain it.

[Quix]

I don’t have the ref. Wish I did.

Might be dogpile.com able.

[pastorbillrandles]

I don’t accept your premise, i believe that it is possible to live as though Christ is coming today, and also to live in such a way to pass on a legacy of faith to my seed.

[pastorbillrandles]

I do believe that World War 1 and all that followed did Herald the End times. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, says in hs book “Footsteps of the Messiah” that “Nation rising against nation and Kingdom against Kingdom” of Matthew 24 is a Hebraic way of saying World War. There had never been anything on such a scale of destruction, and the West has never recovered from it.

[Zuriel]

**Todays evil is sufficient for today**

Right, and my point being that evil presently has the tools, like never before, to bring ‘the end’ upon the world.

[Aliska]

I read a little now and then but haven’t kept up with things. Seldom have I ever gotten anything and came to wish not to because it’s entirely subjective and no way to prove the source. Maybe I will stumble across it what you saw and ping you if I do.

[D-fendr]

I happen to be going through a history of the Church course, and just finished the Late Middle Ages. I cannot imagine living then and *not* thinking it was the end of the world.

I thought of this reading your post about WWI. I think we can point to many incredibly calamitous times in history and yet...

We just can’t know, and if I had to venture a guess, the end would be hidden, then “well, of course..” Like the saying: “The answer - when finally found - will be obvious.

Just MHO.

[Bellflower]

I believe the end mirrors the beginning. Genesis and Revelation mirror each other.

Don't you think that you are a thousand years too soon with the end? The real end doesn't happen until the end of the millennium when once again many of the world, under the inspiration of a released Satan, go marching against Israel, are annihilated and then the brand new earth and heavens replace the old. Now that war just might last only six or seven days.

From 2006:

http://yeranenyaakov.blogspot.com/2006/03/kabbalists-weigh-in-on-elections-and.html

...As previously mentioned, many Kabbalists have said that Ariel Sharon would be the last Prime Minister before the Mashiah. R’ Nir Ben Artzi is one of them, but he adds that there may be a rotation via some National Unity government, but there won’t be a leader that will compare to Sharon’s power until Mashiah...

Interesting.

Thanks.
