What Does the Future Hold

Posted on 11/02/2001 4:17:25 PM PST by marbren

Most people these days have an interest in what the future holds especially after the events of September 11th. Many people also have an opinion about possible solutions to the problems the earth is facing these days. One thing most people don’t take into account is what God says about the future. Using the Bible as a source I felt compelled to document a possible outline for future events. I am not saying this is the exact scenario just one that might happen. The Rapture of the Christians from the earth to join Jesus Christ is the next prophetic event to occur. I believe this could happen any day now. Millions will disappear which will result in chaos for those left behind. President Bush will be one of those raptured since he is a Christian. This departure of Christianity will be a blow for the USA and probably result in a rapid downfall of this nation. Europe will be marginally affected since they gave up on Jesus years ago. Now that Christians are out of the way this leaves 12 million Jews, 2 billion Muslims and billions of other pagans. Shortly after the Rapture all Jews will be persecuted and their full number will return to Israel. God will now turn his attention to the salvation of his Chosen People Israel. Russia and the Muslim nations will join all their forces for an invasion of Israel to wipe out all the Jews. God will destroy this invasion force in northern Israel in an instant and Israel will be now known as a supernatural power. Islam will be destroyed and the Jewish Temple will be built where the Dome of the Rock now stands. The world will be in turmoil and long for solutions. One man will come out of Europe with all the answers. One of which will be the utopian one world religion. This man will sign a peace treaty with Israel. The 7 year Tribulation period begins.

Very plausible scenario (from a biblical perspective). Get ready for a multiple thread discussion. There were past discussions here regarding the actual timing of the rapture (before or during the Tribulation), so I'm sure that will be a big topic. Thanks for giving us something to ponder and pray about.

NOPE - There is no such thing as a rapture, there is the resurrection the dead, aka the first resurrection which occurs at Christ's coming. Sorry, but the whole pre-trib scenario is unbiblical - the product of sloppy scholarship, wishful thinking and the "visions" of a teenaged girl in the 19th century. We are "caught up" but at Christ's coming not 7 years before.

What if the rapture has already happened? Remember those people on the milk cartons? And Jesus said, "This is all there are?"

I hope you are not terribly disappointed if you find yourself facing down the Global Court, most likely headed by Muslims, that are going to sentence you to beheading for your testimony of Jesus.

I never have understood why there is talk of pre-trib rapture when it is plainly stated that it is at the last trump, when those two prophets, dead for three days, stand up on their feet, then the rapture happens for everyone.

There is not one thing written in scriptures that indicates a pre-trib rapture. Jesus is very plain when he says, "Those that keep my words until the end","Those that endure till the end". I just don't get where this rapture doctrine comes from, not to offend, but it's just not plain in scriptures that we are changed into immortal bodies until the very end of it all. I worry that it could shake someones faith if it doesn't happen when they are expecting it to. Will it shake yours?

I said it might happen. It is an interpretation. The key is knowing Israel. After the age of Gentiles is complete God proceeds with Daniel's 70th week for Israel.

Now take your little story tell it over and over again to gullible people and after some time they will believe it to be true.. um I mean True. They tell it to others and in the end there are a lot of people who just 'know' that this will happen.
IMO this is just how many stories in ancient scriptures as the Bible originated.

>>>It is an interpretation.

Don't interpret!  Hear!  Shema!  Hear AND obey!  No obey, no hear (no understanding).  There are many false doctrines deceiving people in the church who think they are going to heaven.  Of the three main false doctrines of 'easy believism," Pre-Trib is the first, Once Saved ~ Always Saved is the second and Ecumenicalism is the third.

You really believe a bunch of people are going to "disappear?" Have you ever heard of a metaphor?

Is this game for real? My wife brought home that movie on tape. It was the poorest acted bore of a movie I ever was forced to endure. And after it was finally over, they had one of the actors come on and beg you to go and drag friends to see it in theaters. Christian commercialism would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

Well good, it is a relief to know that you won't be effected if this doesn't occur in a specified time. We don't even know if it is in our life times, but it does look like it very well may be.

What I see in the future is many more terrorist attacks not only in the USofA but world wide, especially in Europe. Tighter control of our bank accounts and more government invasion into our personal information, limitation of travel, and cameras on every corner.

I see nations coming together in blocks with common immigration laws and checks, for instance, Mexico, Canada, and the USofA will have common immigration checks and laws to control who is in our countries and yet there will be no real borders between Canada and the US and Mexico. It will be like entering a heavily guarded common area.

This is the lie we are being fed now, that the military cannot protect our borders. This is a flat falsehood, we guard the border between North and South Korea, we are guarding borders in the Balkans, yet these lying jerks tell us that the army is not about guarding borders, and is incapable of doing so.

Our army is a world police force guarding and protecting corporate and government interest world wide, but interest in protecting the average citizen that pays for it all is the lowest priority. Our sovereignty is not important to the bottom line of the global corporation our government has become. Now with the new terrorist laws, we all get to be suspects guilty or not.

I don't see a good future for us at all, we will look back at pre 9-11 as the good old days I fear. Even knowing it all turns out alright in the end of days, it still hurts to see this corruption tearing decent peoples lives apart.
