The Bible speaks of a time to come in the "last days" that will involve the whole world at war. Jesus himself says in Matthew 24 that in that war everyone on earth would die unless God himself stepped in. II Timothy 3:1 calls these last days "perilous times", and they are.

I see a qualifier in that passage. The word unless. So will he step in? And if he doesn't, what good does it do me to worry about it if we are all going to die anyhow?

I've always tried to figure that out. I mean, if there is nothing I can do to prevent whatever is going to happen, then why do I need to get all worked up about it?

The author didn’t really look very close at the wars of the 19th century, nor WWI.

The thing Hitler did that was new...was keep records his government couldn’t destroy.

Be prepared — the world would have ended on May 21, now rescheduled to Oct 21. May be Oct 21 this year or 2012 or 2102.

One of the things that convinces me that we are in the end times, it the descriptions of people with their flesh rotting off their bones and eyes dissolving, things that were unknown until the nuclear age.

There is, of course, Israel becoming a nation, people traveling to and fro and knowledge greatly increased, a 10 nation European confederacy, one world religion, the mark of the beats, and now the capability for a world ruler who can take control and enforce compliance like never before.

If it were just one of two things, it might be co-incidental, but there is just too much these days that is working together right.

INDEED!

AMEN! AMEN!

By 1947 scientists had invented a Doomsday Clock which serves as a guess as to how close the world is to destroying itself in a nuclear war. The first clock was set at seven till midnight with midnight representing the destruction of the earth in a nuclear war.

Wasn't that the 'Bulletin of Atomic Scientist"? They were a bunch of communists from the University of Chicago, right?

The divided kingdom was reunited, as prophesied in Ezekiel 37:21-22.

No. Only house returned, not two. One is yet alive but still in exile.

(For the record, it now stands at six minutes till midnight.)

Sorry about the off topic stuff. I didn’t mean to hijack the thread. However, this does seem to fit in well with end times scenarios, this weird weather.
