Answer 2

Here is a link to an article that you might find interesting concerning this matter. Jehovah God foretold the end of this system as spoken of at Armageddon and it will without fail occur in his due time. The conditions of this system continue to get worse and worse and at "a time they do no think it to be" it will happen. It is to our benefit to be ready when these things take place, our relationship with our heavenly father is of utmost importance to our everlasting life. We have to consider our physical needs but when it comes to our spiritual needs, it is most important, because it is our everlasting life that is at stake.
The rise and fall of the different world powers is foretold in the bible as is demonstrated by the dream of Nebuchadnezzar's Statue which tells what is to occur in the final part of the days as recorded at Daniel 2:1-49.
First, consider the four visions concerning the world powers: (1) There is the vision of the dreadful image, whose head of gold represents the dynasty of Babylonian kings starting with Nebuchadnezzar, after which three other kingdoms rise, as pictured by the other parts of the image. These are the kingdoms that are crushed by the “stone,” which in its turn becomes “a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin,” God’s Kingdom. (2:31-45) (2) There follow Daniel’s private visions, the first being that of the four beasts, representing “four kings.” These are like a lion, a bear, a leopard with four heads, and a beast that has big teeth of iron, ten horns, and later a small horn. (7:1-8, 17-28) (3) Next, there is the vision of the ram (Medo-Persia), the he-goat (Greece), and the small horn. (8:1-27) (4) Finally, we have the vision of the king of the south and the king of the north. Daniel 11:5-19 accurately describes the rivalry between the Egyptian and Seleucid offshoots of Alexander’s Grecian Empire following Alexander’s death in 323 B.C.E. From verse 20 the prophecy continues to trace the course of successor nations of the south and north. Jesus’ reference to “the disgusting thing that is causing desolation” (11:31), in his prophecy about the sign of his presence, shows that this power struggle of the two kings continues right down to “the conclusion of the system of things.” (Matt. 24:3) How comforting the prophecy’s assurance that in the “time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time,” Michael himself will stand up to remove ungodly nations and bring peace to obedient mankind!—Dan. 11:20–12:1. For further information on bible prophecy ask for the Revelation Climax Book, or Daniels Prophecy Book through your local Kingdom Hall also ask about the availability of a book study either in your own home, or at the Kingdom Hall to understand the deeper things of God.

Answer 3

Yes I do feel the same way for the most part.
Sometimes I wonder and fear if we move to fast or knowledge of unknown levels gets out of hand. However I think there is a fate of people that can't handle one thing, there is always a person to handle it for them. That may not make too much sense but it holds true.

Answer 4

Well, yes I think it is wonderful that people are realizing that no institution such as the Church or Politics can save them. That it is ultimately up to us individually to have a personal relationship with God. What is even better is that we all worship the same GOD no matter our denomination. I think we are coming into a new time where we can actually go past the same obstacles we have been struggling with for milleniae.

Answer 5

It's always the end of one age or another. If you mean the end of time no one knows when that will occur. That's a God thing.

Answer 6

Yes, the circle of existence. Round and round.

Answer 7

Hope you don't ever have to see if there's a silver lining in every nuclear cloud. Have to wait and see won't cha?

Answer 8

When I took History of Civ II, I was already well aquainted with the professor because him, my History of Civ I professor, and I would often eat lunch together. For the most part, I sat quietly and learned, but when I had something to contribute, or an analysis of facts they had missed, I would speak up and be enriched by their reaction.

So when I started History of Civ II, I was feeling particularly devious. I sat in the middle of the class and did that annoying "i'm here but not paying attention because I'm busy with something else" routine -- not enough to disrupt the other students, but enough to bug the CRAP out of the professor. Finally, halfway through the class, he stops, slams the chalk down, and stares at me, and asks, loudly, "Mr. *****, would you PLEASE stand and tell the class WHY we study history?" I glared at him in deep, if mock, annoyance, turned off my MP3 player, and stood up slowly. I bow forward with extreme extravagance, arms out to the side in a veritable courtsey.

"The answer you are looking for is that those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it..." I paused for dramatic emphasis then continued, "However, my studies of history have shown me that those who study history and those who do not study history have this one thing in common..." And I stopped, to force him to specifically ask my 'one thing'.

He bows back with the SAME extravagance I showed... "Mr. *****, please enlighten us."

I bow back again, and by now the entire class is utterly in shock at this interplay, the room is dead silent, not a pencil is moving, and all eyes are again on me. "In my studies, I have learned that those who study history and those who do not study history have one thing in common -- they are doomed to repeat it anyways. I for one choose ignorance, so that I may at least PRETEND to be making new mistakes."

He picked up his chalk, returned to the board, and muttered loudly, "Mr. *****, you are dismissed from my class," to which I asked, "Do I get my A?" He smirked lightly to himself and nodded, "Come pick up the letter from the Dean next session."

I collected my belongings and left. Next class, I walked in, got my letter, and walked back out. Total time in that class for the semester: 35 minutes. Final grade: A+.
