Where are we now in an eschatological sense? It is arguable that we are in the midst of the rebellion and that in fact a strong delusion has come upon many, many people. It is this delusion and rebellion that foreshadows what will happen next: and the man of lawlessness will be revealed.

People seem to be forgetting one important thing: THE FINAL HARVEST. When the “man of lawlessness” appears, the CHURCH will already be gone.

I believe we are getting very, very close to the rapture of the church .. however, that event will be precluded by another event called, “The Final Harvest”.

It’s an event so spectacular that people who have been sitting at the edges of Christianity can no longer deny that GOD is real and that accepting HIM as their Savior (through Jesus), will mean they too will be saved from the evils coming upon the earth.

If you’re planning a church .. you need to get it ready.

and .. nobody has to agree with me .. this is just what I believe.

You speak of repture. Wasn’t that quote from the Bible referring to the days of Noah?

Perhaps not for the world, but the US is in it’s final year.

Anyone have that "Oh Lord, someone keyed my Lexus" graphic handy?

Probably not anytime soon.

I sure hope these verses aren't referring to the RCC.
"so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God (2 Thess 2:1-4)." I mean with the claims of forgiving sins and being the Vicar of Christ and personally holding "the keys of the kingdom" thing. I mean it would be a strong delusion to fool that many Catholics, right?

I have an interest in Western Civilization. I read a lot about it. I have come to the conclusion that the world will not end anytime soon. Our country on the other hand is very much in peril, but I think we will right the ship before all is lost.

I mean I am sure there were people during the Civil War here and in France that probably thought the end was coming. Not to mention Nazi Germany, the purges by Stalin. The 1960's in this country. So I think we are being pushed by evil and rebellion, I don't think we are there yet.

Where we are now is so evil, it makes me cry sometimes. I’m not afraid of evil - I know the ending of the story. But the pain and suffering of evil - I can feel this pit of darkness in people and in authority figures of society sometimes.

If the U.S. economic system fails (and it will...with the ensuing fall of our government as well), the other economies will also fall. I am interested in why you think that the coming year is when this will take place. I happen to agree with you, but wonder why you think this.

It takes a certain conviction of one’s self righteousness, to validate their vanity and delusions.

I’m in court right now listening to a friend, who just can’t see past a legal argument and 30 year pattern of anamoral, self serving life, as well a series of decisions which cheat others out of the value of what rightfully belongs to others.

It’s really a bunch of justifications and ridiculous relativisms, which has cost him relationships with friends and loved ones.

Using the law as one’s moral compass to deny or shield oneself from objective responsibility can only result in you living on an island

I wasn’t quoting from the Bible; I was stating what I believe after spending 3 years in a Bible School.

However, I can see where Noah and the Ark could have been a symbol of what God planned to do to those who believed in Him; they would be gathered together and saved from the destruction of the world.

It does say in the Bible, that Christians are “not appointed unto wrath”. Therefore, there must be a final rescue for the Christians before God’s wrath is poured out upon the earth.

Isaiah 9:13

We've already been warned twice.

OK--we seem to be coming at this from two different viewpoints, then

Our first warning was 9/11. That happened on the first day of Shemitah.

Our second warning came after our responses to the first one--also on the first day of Shemitah. That was the 2008 stock market crash. Exactly 7 Hebrew years later.

Sept 2015 is the next 7 year span. That will be our demise.

That pattern follow almost exactly the demise of Israel in Isaiah 9. That includes our response of defiance that was identical to Israel's response. We are following in their footsteps, so to speak. We have less than 1 year left.
