The impending crisis that the swirling vortex of signs and events is pressing upon this world brings to mind that song of Johnny Cash titled, “Five Feet and Rising,” where he progresses through the song’s narrative of flood waters overwhelming his family’s farm. [1]
Not only does it identify with all the turbulent storms and flooding in recent months, but it resonates with the flooding of crime, murders, rioting, sexual assaults and social immorality. Not a pretty sight, for sure! One of the prophecies proves my point, however, according to 2 Timothy 3:1-5:
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.”
Earlier, in his first letter, 1 Timothy 3:1-2, he identified, perhaps, the root cause of today’s social and immoral degradation:
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron….”

+1.
Actually, violent crime is down since 1992.
Says who?
You and the Gubmit?
If you fear the truth, then you aren’t a real believer.
Well, Christie DID announce...
You don't care much for the scriptures, eh??? So what religion are you??? Never mind...I'm sure I can guess accurately...
1Th_4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
We don't...
When the Magicsteeringthem weighs in on the Rapture, only then will some believe is has happened. The Vatican is slow to learn.
It'll be long gone by the time they figure it out...
That IS the second coming of Christ!
That is NOT the “rapture”!
It’s here now because we are the most important generations that have ever existed.
Says you again?
Matthew 24:40-44....
Believe it or not, it has no bearing on your true salvation, but it is the Blessed Hope of all Christians who have been waiting on His return since he ascended.
John 14:3 is a “taken” verse also.
That is NOT the “rapture”!
Jesus comes twice at the second coming??? When does the Wedding take place???
The low and warm water on the Columbia River will cause a lot of fish to die:
“Federal and state fisheries biologists say the warm water is lethal for the cold-water species and is wiping out at least half of this year’s return of 500,000 fish and by the end of the season that death toll could grow to as high as 400,000.
“We had a really big migration of sockeye,” Ritchie Graves of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told The Associated Press. “The thing that really hurts is we’re going to lose a majority of those fish.”
He said up to 80 percent of the population could ultimately perish.”
Of course they go on to blame global warming. Actually it is the beginning of an El Nino, and a high-pressure system parked off the coast of the Pacific Northwest most of the winter kept any rain/snow away from us.
Bad stuff has happened throughout history. Even worse stuff than today. I’m a bit skeptical of the “the moral decay is as bad as it has ever been” thing. Not to say that we may not be rebuked by God in a very tough love sort of way (exiled to Babylon, etc.)- but I don’t think the Second Coming will find us any worse now than other times in history.
Of course, more people have had the Gospel told to them, and IIRC that is one theory of what God is waiting for. Whatever - it will be on God’s terms - not ours.
How so?
Jesus comes but once more.
The confusion is yours.
The confusion is yours.
Well then, the bible is wrong??? No one really goes to meet Jesus in the air??? And there really isn't any Wedding in heaven???
Doesn’t explain the deaths of sea life all along the left coast and other animal die offs noted above
Still following Fukushima??
Uh, what ?
No news for long time must mean no news
situation now history
