For some “the end” may be within the next second. God controls our very next breath. Just be ready! No date setting here . . .but we are to watch for the signs.
(1 Thessalonians 2-4 The Day of the Lord) 2For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.

I'm not big on religion threads, but this comment really struck home for me. So true.
2nd Thessalonians 2:3, "Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that the man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition"
He said that almost every Bible translation prior to the King James renders the Greek word "apostasia" as "departed," but everything starting with the King James renders it "falling away" which renders that passage very differently.
Food for thought...
