I think everyone agrees we're nearing the final days of the Earth as we know it.
But what signs have you seen?
Jews gathering in Israel to me was a huge sign that we're very close.
You also see radical Islamists taking over Middle Eastern governments one by one. Once they have a majority I would suspect it won't be much longer.
When will Israel attack Iran? All bets are that it happens before the election for a couple of reasons. A winter strike would be impossible. Plus, the Israeli's aren't taking the chance that Obama gets re-elected.
Plus.. October 15th the moon will be just right. And it won't be that way again for a long time.
The temple needs to exist by the middle of the tribulation period. With modern building techniques, the tribulation could actually start before the rebuilding of the temple does.
We are always in the last days.
Christ will return, when He wants to return.
Since no one knows the time or day, we can not predict with any accuracy.
As an Adventist, one of the signs to watch for is for America to move from an idealized Christian society, where one is free to practice their faith to a country that will persecute God’s faithful people.
The end of the Age of Grace. The earth still needs to go through a 7 year tribulation and a millenial kingdom on earth first. Then a new heaven and a new earth will be formed.
I have seen the confederacy of nations described in Psalm 83 starting to form. This will lead to war, Ps. 83, and the destruction of Damascus (Isa 17). The destruction of Damascus probably will lead to the end of Hezbollah and peace for Israel. This, added to the riches that will come from the exploitation of the Leviathan gas fields, will set the stage for the Ezekiel 38 war. I believe we'll get to see all of this, just before being Raptured.
One of my favorite sites to read about current events and prophecy is Begona's Hope
We’re getting much closer to that. And America has a president that will not stand with Israel when it is attacked.
By confederacy of nations you mean the EU?
Will it be Israel that causes the destruction of Damascus you think? (Syria?)
October 15th is a new moon. No light.
I seriously doubt that the Israeli's would limit themselves to just one night a month though.
I don’t think they’re willing to wait until after the election either.
I’ve always thought it might be an asteroid.
Oh Puh-leeeze...you’ve been listening to that crackpot Hal Lindsey again, haven’t you?
Nope, just asking a simple question.
I spent half my life expecting to be one of the warriors of the Last Days. Then I got old and broke down. Now, I am buying ammo, PowerBars and cans of Vienna Sausage.
Hey, we all face the end of the world our own way. I just hope nobody has seen Obamalamadingdong in a blue turban yet. I need a few thousand more rounds of .308 before the end.
bump!!
How close do you think we are now?
btt
Who is going to attack Israel?? Iran?? 75% of the population is <30 and they like the west and western ways and are way less fanatic than their parents ..Iran's strict religious leaders are on thin ice with their own population as is most of the muslim world. The young people in the ME want no part of living how their parents did.
The muslim leader are fanatic but they are not nuts/suicidal to attack Israel..
It will be worse than any one of us can really envision. If you read the seven last plagues, it sounds like the description of a nuclear holocaust.
As prepared as id like to be, with all kinds of dried foods and clothing and such, Im not sure is any amount of preparation could put off, by more than a few months, of what we all have to go through.
