COULD the world come to an end?

The Bible is more than clear in its theological claim that Jesus Christ will return to Earth at an undisclosed, future time. In fact, that belief is a central hallmark of the Christian faith.

And the latter point about the timing is essential to highlight, as scripture makes it clear that no one knows exactly when the so-called “second coming” will unfold. Yet, once again, here we are with some Christians setting a specific date — September 23, 2017 — for the purported fulfillment of certain prophetic signs or events.

It seems bizarre, considering that the Bible repeatedly and clearly speaks to our inability to know exactly when end-times events — and particularly Jesus’ return — will unfold. Matthew 24:36-37 tells us, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man” — and Mark 13:32 says the same.

But as I noted in my book “The Armageddon Code: One Journalist's Quest for End-Times Answers,” time and again throughout history people have sought to ignore these verses and predict exactly when they believe the rapture — the belief that Christians will be taken up before cataclysmic, end-times events kick into high gear ­— or the end itself will unfold.

Crackpots give Christianity a bad name. And the MSM, which hates Christianity, loves to showcase their stupidity.

There was an interesting article the other day on these “end times” predictions, and one case in particular was more preposterous than the others. It involved one guy who predicted the world would end on some date in the 1990s ... and then resurfaced about ten years later with the same prediction for another date. LOL.

The world can’t come to an end before at least 1,007 more years. Seven year tribulation and millennial kingdom still have to happen.

[Tenacious 1]

For the Man Made Global Warming enthusiasts, the end of the world can’t come fast enough. They dream of the day they can announce to the dead world, “I told you so.”

[Responsibility2nd]

That’s as goofy a theory as the world will end tomorrow theory.

I think you will find this site interesting. World wide millions of people die and millions are born every day.

It certainly will at some point, when the sun expands and engulfs the Earth.

“The world can’t come to an end before at least 1,007 more years. Seven year tribulation and millennial kingdom still have to happen.”

Question. If the 7 year days are shortened is it still 7 years or 4.3 or whatever? :) here’s a good answer...

It was Michel de Nostradamus who predicted in the 16th century that the world would end in 1997 A.D. This was brought out by Orson Welles in his 1981 film “The Man Who Saw Tomorrow”.

When that didn’t come to pass, a TV adaptation of the 1981 film named Saddam Hussein as the third antichrist who would rise out of the Middle East, and updated the end date to....2003?

That prediction fizzled too, IIRC./s

Christ did say, “...for ye know not the hour”. That’s certain.

Thanks! Was he selling carbon credits at the same time he was predicting the end of the world a week later? LOL.

One man's long-distance can-kicking is another man's goofy?

With a toe like that he'd be a shoe-in as NFL place-kicker. It'd give him an "easy" way to make a living for the next 1,007 or so next years?

Hold on a sec. The NFL may not last that long....

But there will always be that other fooot-ball.

gooooooo-a-aal!
