Christians,do you think the end is near and we are living in the last days as foretold in the Bible? Why?

Question

Jesus told the disciples what signs to look for in the last days. Do you think we are seeing them all happen now?

I'm not worried. I do enjoy finding out what others think. God is the only one that knows when the end will come.

izcrystalblue,I'm a believer with strong faith too.

Answer 1

There is no doubt. There is ZERO doubt to a "Grounded" christian. It's as plain as the nose on your face.

I love how some of these people say: Jesus said: No man will know the hour..blah blah...

You know what they didn't read? down farther. Jesus said: I COMMAND you to know the hour is near. He didn't just advise it, he COMMANDED it.

These people who say, you are dumb for suggesting it, are as equally dumb for not following a Biblical COMMANDMENT. hello? :)

good Q*
.

Answer 2

Yes, I know believe that we are in the End Time, The Last Days. This is a time period and was started when the Oslo Agreement was set into action for the 1st time on October 13, 2006.

This is the worst time ever and only within the last 100 years have we been capable of destroying the Earth with Nuclear power.

I could list many other prophesies that have been fulfilled but that is a lot of writing that others have already done.

I saw one site that even had a POLL that asked if you believe that Nuclear war will begin September 12, 2006.

I do after reading the information there. It describes the end real clearly.

Answer 3

I believe we are living in the last days. I believe we are seeing signs of the times, although signs of the second coming will continue through His actual coming. Therefore, No, we are not seeing them all happen now. Nobody knows for sure when the second coming will be, not even the hosts of heaven. We do know that God said He would cut the time short so there would still remain a remnant of righteous people on the earth. From what I know, I would guesstimate the second coming to be within the next fifty years and quite probably within the next 30-40.

Answer 4

The days we are living in strongly resemble those of Sodom and Gamora (sp? on both - it is late and I am tired), but on a worse scale. I will not try to pretend that I know when the end is. But my relationship with God is stronger than ever.

Remember, nothing on this earth goes with us. The only thing that goes is our faith, love, memories, values, morals, etc. All of those things that we cannot physically hold in our hands. And let me say, just we cannot see or touch a value or moral but everyone has and believes in them on some level. I cannot see or touch God/Jesus - but I have and believe in them.

Jesus walked the earth and paid the price for our sins. I want to show him my love, respect, and appreciation when he does return.

This is my belief and I stand strong in it. I do not ask you to believe the same as I do - just as God does not force anyone to believe in him.

Plus, for those of you who think that all who believe in God and Jesus is superstitious - so what. If it is all a big lie - as you say - who am I hurting by believing? But if it is the truth as I believe - then I thank God for the for the family which brought me up and gave me the chance to see both sides - believers and non-believers. That is how I came to believe - I saw both and made my choice. I chose to believe.

Answer 5

Any thing after Christ's ascention into heaven is the last days. Yes there is a lot happening in the world that looks like what Jesus said to look for but be carefull not to put a date on it. Jesus also warnes us of that. THe bible says that the ends will come like a theif in the night, when no one is expecting it. So be ready for it at all times.

Answer 6

Yes, Just look around you. The bible only speaks of a 3rd of the earth going thru these things not the whole earth. If you are not a true christian you will not no what to look for when the time comes,

Answer 7

Absolutely!

Answer 8

Yes. God's choosen people, the Jews, started returning to their homeland in 1947. The Bible predicted their return thousands of years ago. According to the Bible, Jesus is returning before all that generation is dead.

Answer 9

Absolutely not. Most churces just use that as a selling point for converting people. Did you know that we are in our last days and all this bad stuff will happen to you if you don't come to my church? I personally believe that God will come for us when the sun blows up, 5 billion years from now. The Jehovah's Witnesses keep trying to predict the end of the world and they tell their kids not to go to college because it might be a waste of time since the world might end any day now. Some of them have even quit their jobs and quit paying their bills around a date when they believed the world would end, like in 1975. Those people were sorely dissappointed, and that's no way to live your life.

Answer 10

I believe the quote is "There will be wars and rumors of wars until I return". This has been going on for some two thousand years. It's not the end of the world now anymore than it was in when Judea was crushed into submission by the Romans.

Which then begs the question: what do you plan to do if He DOESN'T come back in your lifetime?

Answer 11

the problem with the signs that i have seen is that i am not educated enough in my religion, or anybody elses, to decipher them.

while i see things that i believe to be a sign of the end of times, i am skeptical of my own interpetation.

take for instance the tsunami that hit indonesia the day after christmas in 2004. it may not have wiped a third of the population of earth away, but did it wipe out a 3rd of the population as it was numbered during the life of st. john? was that a sign?

that's why i keep myself ready to be taken at any time.
