hey what u need to do is read Revalation in the bible and compare it to the things happening in the world today for yourself and make your own decesion. Ur doubtful of god now? Have you been saved? if you havnt been saved and baptised you havnt given god a chance to make your life better thru his love. Go to church sunday and see what u think. But read Revelations. Its in the very end of the bible. And yes it is true that if your not a christian and been saved and excepted god as ur savior you will go to hell. but as soon as u get saved god gives u the gift of eternal life. that means no hell for u baby

The last sign needed in order to set the stage has happened. It was when Israel became a state. The bible teaches us that the generation that was born to see Israel become a state would see the the return of Christ. here have been many biblical prophecies that needed to be fulfilled before the return, like the one i mentioned and also the return of the roman empire (which is commonly accepted as the European Union). Most biblical scholars believe that the anti-christ is alive at this very moment.
I recommend that you do an on line search for this man. Dr. Jack Van Impe. He is a Minister and is very well adept at interpreting modern day events and how they are signs of the lords return.

I know this all sounds frightening, and it should for those who have not accepted Christ, since they may go through it, but let me clear up some things. Yes, we are in the last days, now whether those last days extends for years, it is not known. But have you noticed things getting worse in the last few years? Strange weather, more severe weather? Wars and tensions seem to have gotten worse, there is a sense that something is happening. The stage is being set for the emergence of the Anti-Christ. Before he comes to power, the Church (believers in Christ) will be removed from the scene. Sometime after that, the Anti-Christ will take control. He will be a very charismatic figure, who will come up with a peace plan that will be applauded by all. He will make a treaty with Israel to protect them. Then, in the middle of the final seven years, he will break the treaty, and demand he be worshiped as God. Then all hell will break loose on the earth. The remnant of Jews left will be surrounded by their enemies, it will seem they are doomed. Then, Christ will return, as their long awaited Messiah and they will see Him for who He is. He will destroy their enemies and take His place as king of kings on the earth, ushering in the millennium kingdom.
The Anti-Christ will gain control of the commerce of the world. Will he have all the "gold"? I n a way, yes. We are now heading into a cashless society. Think about how many transactions you do daily that require numbers, not cash. Now what would happen if one person got control of those numbers? He would control the economies of the world. He will demand worship or your number would be shut off. You could not buy or sell.
This is just a thumbnail description of the final years of this worlds history. My advice, seek God, and receive Christ as your savior. If you are saved, you will not go through these terrible times.

It is very clearly set forth in the Scriptures that Jesus Christ will bodily and visibly return to this earth. In the Old Testament there are prophecies which can be fulfilled only by our Lord's return. In the New Testament there are over 300 references to Christ's second coming. Christ Himself emphasized that He would come again. On one occasion He said, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am" (John 14:3). On another occasion Jesus said, "You will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven" (Mark 14:62; see also Mark 13:26, Matthew 24:30 and Luke 21:27).
The apostles continued the emphasis on Jesus' return. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Paul said, "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." Revelation 1:7 says, "Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him." The bodily, visible return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the Christian's "blessed hope" (Titus 2:13).
Jesus Himself warned us against speculating about the timing of His return or claiming we know when it will take place. He said, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Matthew 24:36).
But Jesus did tell us certain events must take place before He returns, and these will be like signposts pointing to His coming. For example, He told us that He would not come again until the whole world has had an opportunity to hear the Gospel: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14). Certainly we see this happening today through television, radio, publications and the Internet.
Jesus also told us that we would see an outburst of evil on an unprecedented scale before He comes again, as Satan lets loose his fury in a final effort to defeat God's plan: "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come" (Mark 13:7). Can anyone read the headlines today and doubt the reality of Satan's power?
No, we don't know when Christ will come again—but we don't need to know! Our responsibility is still the same: to love Him and live for Him with all our strength. Is this your goal?
Do these mean Jesus' second coming is very near? It certainly may be, because He indicated that just before He comes again the world 's problems will increase. He declared, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places" (Matthew 24:7). While these problems are part of every age, the Bible says they will increase in intensity toward the end. We are living in the last days of this age.
Jesus loves you so much that He died on the cross for your sins. He rose from the dead on your behalf. He wants to save your sould, and give you a brand new start in this life---a start with new meaning and purpose--eternal purpose. Christ is our only hope for this age and the one to come. Make your commitment to Christ today.

Hello;
You are not alone in your feelings and beliefs. The conflict between Israel and any of her enemies has been going on for a long time. What your cousin said is not entirely true. If you have a Bible read what Jesus said in the New Testament book of Matthew. In chapter 24, "the disciples came unto him privately,saying....and what shall be the sign of thy coming,and of the end of the world." One of the first things He said was in vs.6,"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of war;see that ye be not troubled:for all these things must come to pass,but the end is not yet."
A longer list of things to come follow. Read vs.14.He said;"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;and then shall the end come."
Jesus gave us a clue. Until the gospel is preached..., then shall the end come. This has not yet happened!
As to the receiving the mark of the beast...666. It has not yet become mandatory, when it does, the end is really near!
Do not take this mark! You will go to hell.
There is no mention of 'purgatory' in the Bible. There is NO need for it. All of your sins and the guilt attached to them, were taken away by Jesus, when He died on the Cross.
You are human and as such you are subject to many emotions and doubts. That's understandable. Do not give up.
The last words Jesus spoke before He ascended into heaven were; "lo,I am with you alway,even unto the end of the world."
Chapter 28:20.
Lastly, from the book of Revelations,chapter 2:10 come these comforting words."be thou faithful unto death,and I will give thee a crown of life."
After Thomas doubted the resurrection of Jesus. He came a second time to him saying:"because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:blessed are they (That's you)that have not seen,and yet have believed. John 20:29.
Hope this gives you a better understanding of things to come.

if your doubt full then you need to build your faith! Yes most of the stuff she said is true, the judgment of the Lord is coming in our life time and your only going to hell if you want to. By rejecting Jesus as the son of God, But there is still time, Go read the book of John and find out who and what Jesus said and did!This will build your faith, by the daily reading of the WORD. The truth is in there, you just need to seek it out. The Bible is living and active , it revitalizes your spirit! And foretells whats coming. Its Gods word to you. this will make the doubts leave.

Your not doubtful, you just haven't heard your calling yet. Things happen in God's time, not ours. I'm 35 and just heard God's calling.
