When do you feel the door to the "Age of Grace" will close?
Do you believe it is in our life time? If so, give your reasoning please.
Thank you!

Grace will be extended until the mark of the beast. After that, it will be too late. I'm not sure about the millenial kingdom, however, if men will be extended grace. Tough question. I think I will try and study that as soon as I have some time (need to sleep - have school tomorrow).
One thing I am fairly certain of, however, is that we are close to the endtimes. When exactly it is, no man can say, but it is possible to recognize the "signs of the times", as Christ said. There seems to be an escalation in the global state of things, and the religious system of Babylon and the conglomeration of the European states into the Roman Empire may have already been established (at least the roots) in the Roman Catholic Church and the EU, respectively. Take a look at the beliefs of those who built the tower of Babel (recorded in Genesis), and look at Daniel's prophecies in the book of Daniel, and you will see what I mean. Escathology is a very tough subject, however, without great knowledge of OT and NT and without the full guidance of the Holy Spirit. Understanding the entire Bible contextually is key in interpreting the metaphors (which represent literal things) of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, in particular. The best thing to do is to follow the example given by Daniel, and pray often and meditate on scripture.

It will end at Jesus' return. If you believe that he will come back another time to rapture the church I urge you to research the origin of the rapture doctrine and also since it goes hand in hand with the 7 year tribulation doctrine that that is based on a misinterpretation of Daniel 9:27 and that the bible says that we must through much tribulation enter the kingdom of God. When Jesus returns we that are alive will rise after those that have died before his return, to meet him in the air. We can know that his return is near. We can't know the day nor the hour but he said that we can know the signs of his return. One sign is that there will be scoffers at the last day and also that because iniquity will abound the love of many will wax cold. This is true to almost unbearable proportions now. There are other major world events that point to the nearness of his coming also.

Well I know a lot of People feel it is not in their lifetime, but it will have to be in some ones lifetime, and since it will come as a thief in the night(1Thessalonians5:2). It will be when it is least expected, so why not in our lifetime?After all the things that the Bible says will happen at that time are happening right now. the next thing to ha[ppen just before the end actually comes will be the destruction of False religion and that looks like it is in the Air already too.

I believe that the Lord will come back within the next 20 years but I really think it will be a lot sooner. I have many many reasons for that one is I have heard more than one testimony of ppl who have had dreams and or visions who have been in the rapture. One was a lady that was about 75 when she told me of the dream and that was over 5 years ago. Thy Holy Spirit himself spoke to my heart one night about 8 years ago and said to me look up your redemption draweth nigh.
I believe very bad things are about to happen and then the end will come. STAY VERY VERY CLOSE TO THE LORD.
Love in Christ

I can pretty much guarantee that for every poster on the board, their Age of Grace will end within the next 100 years.

No one knows when the end times will be but I do know we need to treat each day as it is our last and always be prayed up and ready. This is something most people fear but if we are saved and ready we should be looking forward to that day. And with praises on our lips and prayers in our hearts be rejoicing.By the way I loved everyones answers

It will end when Jesus returns. And with that the Word of God says that no one knows the day or the hour when He will return. May God Bless U.

Hate to make it easier to be conscious of which you have not have been given this scripture in it incredibly is attitude order, Apostle Paul substitute into deliver wrecked & a snake bit him, by all means he could have died, yet Paul did not be conscious of that the snake substitute into there, the same with ingesting any deadly element, we are to not tempt God. hence for us to intentionally drink something which will harm us is tempting God, & no guy or female tempts God & get away with it..Your authentic Believers is people who walk in the reality.

True Believer in Christ Jesus muslims
Adam "atoned" for his sin by saying "My Lord I have sinned and if you do not forgive me and have mercy upon me then I shall indeed have lost." So God forgave him. Similarly, all human beings have the door to forgiveness left open to them by God
