Believe you are right. Seems to me that some churches are just not quite accurate in what they are preaching. I’m thankful I found a church that seems to be preaching the truth according to the Holy Bible.

Literally everything on that list could be a thousand years ago, in Rome, or a thousand years from now when America has fallen and the next golden empire is repeating the process.

They want what Jesus offers but would rather not look for His imminent intervention in their world.

Considering the condition the world is in these days, I cannot fathom why they'd think that way either.

I can't wait for Him to come back and clean up this mess.

Luke 16:19-31

“There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side.

The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’

And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house— for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

You don't need more *proof*. Your problem is not lack of information but an unwillingness to believe.

Every age/era of Christians think some things at their time are “as worse as they can possibly be”, yet, it was not so, even more evil times were ahead.

That's not why people think the end times is near and I doubt that is true anyways.

People are well enough aware that things can ALAWAYS get worse before Christ returns.

And what we're experiencing now is a walk in the park compared to the horrors of the Tribulation.

As my Mom told me decades ago:

In the list of signs below, we see that the internet and increasing speed of communication has accelerated the world towards his coming and the end.

Which is also a sign in and of itself.

Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

It is not for ANY man to know the hour of the Lord. Thinking that you know is hubris.

Why do people feel obligated to lecture others on stuff they don't do?

Every time RWC posts and end times thread, SOMEONE has to come on with that worn out argument.

Just WHO is predicting the day or hour? Could you point us to someone doing that?

Yeah. So?

Maybe one Christian ever who’s ever ever ever gotten it correct? The end of the world nonsense is a fabulous excuse for weak men to stop fighting evil and just plain give up. It gives them every excuse in the world to kick their feet up and let the hordes over run every thing good that God has given us.

You're projecting because I don't know anyone who thinks Jesus' return is soon who thinks of it as an excuse to be lazy.

I don't know where ideas like that come from, but it isn't people who are anticipating His soon coming.

So are you saying,
you're ready to stand on the street corner with a sign that says:

The End is Near!" ?

“And what we’re experiencing now is a walk in the park compared to the horrors of the Tribulation.”

I agree, but there is always those in every generation that see their time as the worst of times, in terms of the prospect of the Trbulation being “soon”. I think some of it is for some the desire that it be true “now”, for them, and for others they get cauught up in what some preachers are saying, in terms of prophecy an what many prophecies mean.

They shoud all quit being anxious and or fearful. When it is truly that time God will make it undeniable.

Certainly not the nuclear power to blow up the whole world.

Don't be one of the scoffers Peter talked about, that everything has been, is, and will always be the same, contrary to God's Word.

knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.
2 Peter 3:3-4.

Good reminder. I may have to add that in my manuscript.

He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

"Kiss became closely associated with the wall-of-amps phenomenon. The Marshall-powered live album ‘Alive!’ marked their breakthrough in 1975."

Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.
