B... The Government is killing Babies again(abortion) and God is sending Jesus again.

C... or YOUR ANSWER

it's not a date, but a sign of the time.

Answer 1

I think your last B is being a bit extreme don't you?I do not believe in abortion but I do not think it is the same thing as when pharaoh or Herod gave their edicts.It is still wrong but not the same.

Answer 2

Interesting thing to consider, but Herod didn't start killing babies until AFTER Christ's birth - prompted by the men from the Far East who were following the star announcing the birth of the King of the Jews....

And killing babies was certainly nothing new. Throughout much of Israel's history from Moses to the Major prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel) there was a practice by those not of the people of Israel who lived in the nearby surrounding lands of sacrificing babies to Molech that Israel, in times of their rebellion against God, even participated in.

Answer 3

D, none of the above. Jesus died a long time ago, and he's never coming back.

You really need to learn some things -- the "government" isn't killing any babies, for one thing. Abortion is a woman's choice, not something the government forces on somebody...and it's not killing a baby, it's eliminating a bunch of cells.

You know, hopeful christians have been predicting jesus' return "any day now" and seeing "signs being fulfilled" for nearly 2000 years, and they've never been right. Besides, jesus is quoted in the bible as saying he'll return for his second coming before several of the people there with him die -- and they're all long dead, no jesus. He's already almost 2000 years late, I think it's safe to assume he's not coming :)

Funny thing, too -- all of those plagues on Egypt supposedly sent by moses? The Egyptians have the BEST written records of their history of any early culture, they wrote down EVERYTHING...but there's no mention of any of the plagues, or of all the firstborn dying off. Hmm, wonder why that is? Could it be that the hebrews *made it all up*? Hmm?

Peace.

Answer 4

Your B answer is faulty. King Herod killed babies AFTER Jesus came, not before. In fact, King Herod killed the babies BECAUSE Jesus came!

My answer is the answer that Jesus himself provided:

Matthew 24:14 (NIV)
"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."

In fact, in Matthew 24 where Jesus mentions the sign of the end of the world, he doesn't mention the killing of babies. He does say it will be terrible for pregnant women and nursing mothers, but to me that sounds like those who want to keep their babies, not those who want abortions.

(You could argue, though, that the passage could possibly apply to pregnant women who are forced or coerced into abortions. Even so, I'm sure those words wouldn't be limited to abortion alone.)

Answer 5

Pharaoh and Herod killing babies was an attempt by the Devil to cut off the possibility of Jesus coming. Since He has already been born and lives again it's not C either.

2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. 29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Answer 6

C.

Matthew 24:36-39
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. ". For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. " (KJV, emphasis added)

It will be just like the days of Noah. No signs. Nothing abnormal. Normal life continues until the event happens.

Answer 7

A will probably never happen, and that's a good thing. Freedom of religion...?

Bs- I agree that abortion is wrong, but I really don't think Jesus will come again unless it gets out of control (mass abortion, ect)

I pick C, because I believe Jesus comes down for everyone at different times. There isn't a single moment when all people realise Jesus is coming. It depends on your life and religion.

And I shall remain:
~MMT~

Answer 8

C...I believe that we have had last days since Jesus rose up. Only God knows when is the time for Jesus to return. When Jesus comes back it is not only a rumor, everyone will know it.

Jesus will come in a cloud.

Answer 9

I do not believe Jesus is returning.

Answer 10

No one knows the hour or the day.
