End of Days in May? Believers enter final stretch

“God doesn’t care who wins a Football game, how you or I die, how long we live, or under what conditions.”

So, then, do you believe that the following scriptures apply to spiritual gifts only and never material?

Matthew 7:7. Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

7:8. For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

7:9. Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?

7:10. Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?

7:11. If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?

Oh gosh, I guess I should read a little closer! You got me! :)

Yup, those apply to spiritual ONLY.

Do you think a crew drowning in the ocean are seeking safety? Are they asking for their lives? How about the staving in India and other countries ... those that don't survive ... suppose maybe they sought food? Perhaps they asked for bread? Life is chuck-full of examples - our lives are our personal spiritual test of worthiness. How we live, the choices we make (given the option of performing good or evil) are the tests that will ultimately determine our worthiness to progress. Those who prey upon the weak, who rejoice in evil - that is their 'true' spiritual form, and that is their final spiritual reward. When we die, how we die - is meaningless in the eternal perspective - what matters is what we did with the time we were allotted, were we 'Good'?

So it’s not the date setting that you don’t agree with but end time prophecy in general?

well, with a 0% record thus far in human history I think that both endeavors are lacking in credibility.

Are you serious? That shows absolutely NO knowledge of God’s Word and the accuracy of the prophecy in It. I’m thankful I set my priorities straight and know His Word.

[whattajoke]

I’m confused. Are you saying that the Rapture and/or Apocalypse has happened? Recently?

No, I suppose you’re saying that we’ve seen much bible prophecy fulfilled, perhaps some of it portending the end times. Of course, I’m still waiting for someone to tell me a prophecy BEFORE it happens rather than afterwards which is the definition of prophecy after all.

I prophesize that’ll never happen though. (Because when people DO, like the article we’re commenting on, they always end up looking like the loonie toons they are.)

Well, read God's Word if you want to know. We are in prophecy now, things that - have and are - leading up to the end times. In this case, after this prophecy (Tribulation)is fulfilled is too late for many. God's Word is TRUTH and many many prophecies have been fulfilled; i.e. Jesus' birth was prophesied in the OT. God is ALL Knowing and He tells us what HE wants us to know.

First of all, we are told no one knows the day - they (in article) should know that. Your prophecy is based on 'what you think' - basically, nothing - just a guess because others have predicted a date and they failed. They should fail because they don't know the date as God's Word says. God's Word is based on Truth. So I believe God and not man.

You can believe the Tribulation will not happen - you aren't the only one that is hell bent to learn things the hard way. We already know that through God's Word and nothing new under the sun. Time will tell the skeptics - they fooled themselves into thinking they didn't need to know God/HIS WORD. God will not be mocked.

You’ve written nothing that hasn’t been written a million times before for 2000 years.

You did not cite a single FUTURE prophecy. Only alluded to some that happened in the past, which of course, one can do with anything from Nostradummy to a magic 8 Ball.

I’m not mocking anything. I’m just trying to understand how something can be called prophecy but only look to fit things into the past. I was a big Jack van Impe (and his lovely wife Rexella) for years. Loved that stuff. (I did mock him, I must admit.) Guy is tenacious, I’ll give him that. He’s batting 0% lifetime, but he keeps plugging along.

WHO said I should. Learn for yourself. It will show how important it is to you.

Personally, I could give a flip if you mock or don't.

Looking to man? Go to the source, God's Word.
