If the sorts of things we have been seeing happen in this country within the last year or two don’t convince someone that we are in the end times, then I don’t know what it will take.
The stage is being set by God. Unfortunately, the generation that sees the end will be the ones to see it being set up and grieve over it, but what must be will happen.
It’s God’s timetable, not ours.
All we can do is warn people, like Johan, to repent and flee the wrath to come, and hope that they will.
Anyone who is not right with God ought to take it upon themselves to remedy that ASAP. God that when we seek Him, we will find Him when we seek Him with our whole heart.
But honestly, if you look under the Religion heading here on FR, wicca is listed. They will read what is written even if they don't reply. I'm not picking on you, Mom, nor even any of your ping list, whatever differences we have: we are advised of worshipping Mary, despite repeated statements the she is not God. These people pray to people who have not known, or have rejected The One True God! I know intercessory prayer is frowned upon and expiatory suffering regarded as untruth by some noon Catholics in these forums. If you will not do that, and it is your choice, them can you not get your ping list and post? I may not agree with all you say, but the strong, no-holds-barred approach seen here, with the knowledge of Scripture would make you all formidable opponents. As has been said by the ping list, souls are at stake! You all have plenty to say about what you believe: it's needed there, as well- or more! You said that you can warn people, then there are two FReeper threads in which you all can do a great amount of good!
Each generation believes they are witnessing the end times. Genocide has plagued humanity for centuries. Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I, an event widely viewed by genocide scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century. The 20th century toll included the death of 12,000,000 under Hitler, 7,000,000 under Stalin, 1,700,000 under PolPot .... See More. The difference now is that we can witness it on television.
As the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes reminds us:
What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun.Even the thing of which we say, “See, this is new!” has already existed in the ages that preceded us.
There is no remembrance of past generations nor will future generations be remembered by those who come after them. ... Ecc 1:9-11
