Not only did God NOT say that, the bible tells us that Christians will know the times and the season...
Same here. I am not a Christian but it is getting a little uncanny.
Ya’d think all that tanning would limit her time on this earth.
I know!
:D
Not totally correct. Oversimplified.
We will know the SEASON (ie we will see the general trends and certain events and know that things are getting worse, and closer).
We will not know exact dates and times.
You’ll know things when you see them start lining up. You won’t know exactly WHEN you’re going to see them.
See?
Like for instance, there’s been a general trend the last 40 years of more and more countries hating Israel. Regardless of validity or not. The end times declares the rest of the world nations will be against Israel.
Even the US under our commie gay muslim president is against Israel. Something that’s never occurred before.
Dear Mamzelle, I cannot comment on the Great Whore (apart from it or she will not be super obvious), but I can say something about the final AntiChristos. The final Anti Christ. He, and the false prophet, will definitely NOT be obvious. They will convince the vast majority of the world, even the elect. They shall have vast political power, and bring about global peace and unity ....at least for a while before things go downhill. Real political and religious power when it comes to the false prophet, with miracles included. The false prophet and the antichristos will be thoroughly believable, confusing even the elect.
This tells me one simple thing. It will not be anyone we currently, or in the past, consider or considered to be a 'serious contender.' All the names people have suggested - Obama, Putin, George Bush (the senior), Reagan, Pope John Paul, Hitler, or even going all the way to Emperor Constantine and Nero ....or even institutions (one person claimed a certain large church). All of those are incorrect. None of them meet the criteria, and to be honest none come close. In fact, the closest ever was many hundreds of years ago in the form of emperor Constantine, especially after his apparent conversion to Christianity and the great economic and social reforms he brought ...and even he still doesn't hit it.
My point is this. The antichristos and the false prophet will not be easy to identify at first, and not only that, but most people will believe in them. Conservatives and Liberals, Americans and Chinese, all races, sinner and MOST saints (were it not for the grace of God).
Which means, if the final antichristos 'suspect' is someone who is a serious contender, and that most FReepers would suspect, it is simply not him. Now, if you see someone that FReepers (to use a small sample set, and we are a small sample set) love and respect like crazy, and you pop over tk DU (to use a similarly small sample set) and realize they love him over there too, that born again Christians and the taliban both respect him, and then you start seeing this person fix huge economic and geopolitical messes on a regional - and then global - level, and in your heart you yourself feel this guy is really a nice chap ....then we are barking up the right dang tree.
Indeed Gods says:
1 Thessalonians 5:4-6(ESV)
4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
Aluminum bat? That’s just so wrong.
For crying out loud this woman looks likes the dude who was waiting for a comet and his group all committed suicide. Forgot his name, but they were waiting for aliens to take them home where ever that is.
Wow - you too???
(Just re-read parts of that a couple weeks ago - ominous)
By any means necessary.
;D
It is part of doing the work of God...
"This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."
"Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he"
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord..." "...for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
(John 6:29,John 13:19,2 Tim 1:7-8,Rev 19:10)
Luke 12:37 "Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them."
Mat 24:45,46 "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing"
What about adding a Sith hood?
A link would be nice.
no
But, I am believing more and more that the Whore of Babylon is a Muslim led coalition of frightened christian like, and all other religions cowering in fear over islam religion
Correct. Like it or not none of us can take everyone else with us when we go. Everybody else will be left behind no matter what we do. Best get your house in order and your soul cleaned up.
You idiot.
