Christians! Do you think we are living in fulfillment of what the Bible?

Question

Points to as being the last days before Christ returns? Why or why not? Are you looking forward to his return?

Answer 1

I do believe the Bible is 100% on track for many reasons.
As for the end days many point at May 14, 1948 when Israel became a nation again as a starting point of end times prophecy.
Since then things have been accelerating at a substantial rate, such as earthquakes and violence and wars.
Soon we may see countries such as Iran and Russia and others come together to fulfill Ezekiel 38-39.
Jesus is coming again and I do believe it's very soon...

Answer 2

Yes, I believe we are living in the "last days," but I don't know (nor does anyone, save only the Father) how long these last days will continue--it could be a long while yet. I am personally looking forward to Jesus' return. I'm also very sad for all the people who are doomed to perish when the Biblical prophecies are fully realized.

Answer 3

Yes. We are living in the last days.

2 Tim 3:1-5 describes the mindset of mankind in general; lovers of selves, self-assuming, haughtly, fierce, betrayers, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.

Matthew 24:3-14 and Luke 21:1-19 also describe what the world would be like; pestilences, wars, earthquakes, persecution and the preaching work are all the signs of Christ's presence.

I look forward to the time when these last days finally end and the world is back to the way it was meant to be.

Answer 4

Every generation has asked this question & probably answered it the same, God is returning very soon as the bible predictions of all that is happening is being fulfilled. It is the eternal hope, that every generation belives in this (just a really amazing fact when you look at how long people are waiting for the return Of God!)
In saying that I think this generation has had the most increasesof knowledge than the previous & it isn't confined to those with money either, but the whole world as such, also the fear, that pervades the society.people frightened of thier future & the world around them The selfishness of the people of this earth hasn't changed, we are still in it for "me" so to speak (if it doest help "me" then I won't help at all). Wars, famine, pestilence, earthquakes & disasters, false teachings of some description, moral bankruptcy have follwed every generation
With God, I have no fear of tomorrow & hope that regardless of what happens, everything is in the palm of His Hand, & He has it covered.
As to the time, well we still haven't figured out when the thief is coming to steal our gear, so we stay prepared, just in case! and so it is with the second coming

Answer 5

I hope so...as far as I know all prophecy has been fulfilled except his return. I'd sure like it to be in my life time but I'm not holding my breath. I think the world could get a lot worse first. Just look on the R&S section of yahoo answers...it's going to hell but there are still a few of us in here.

Answer 6

Daniel had a vision that there would be 1260 days before the end of the world.....

Those days were being fulfilled since Christ arrived..... We are still living in Daniels vision......

Are we living in the fulfillment of the Bible? --Yes!

Answer 7

No I don't think Christians are living in what the Bible says about the last days before Jesus returns to God. I think this because Christians are doing what the world is doing like being busy and having no time for God along with going to church each Sunday and learning nothing from the sermon and just singing along to the songs in the worship as they aren't really worshipping God just singing along to the songs. Yes I am looking to the return of Jesus but I don't know when it will be.

Answer 8

We are living in the last day according to this verse

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Daniel 12:4
King James Version

Answer 9

The fact that there is strife within and among the churches MAY be one of the signs of the end times. Some believe that the Church Age ended years ago, so no believer should be attending a church, since the church would be under Satan's power, including the "pastor" of the church.

The folks at Family Radio believe the Church Age has ended and that the Final Judgment and Second Coming of Christ will be in the fall of 2011.

The folks at Family Radio believe the Final Judgment and Second Coming of Christ will be in the fall of 2011.

For example see the book “Time Has an End” on line at:
http://www.timehasanend.org/public/en_time_has_an_end_cont.html

This group, whose primary teacher is one Harold Camping, also believes the Church Age has ended in 1988 and believers are to come out of the churches as they are now under the control of malevolent forces now that the Tribulation has begun. According to this group, this is why there is so much strife between and within church groups. Mr. Camping’s interpretations of the bible are highly allegorical, so let the reader beware.

See the book Time Has an End, Ch. 10:
http://www.timehasanend.org/public/en_time_has_an_end_ch10.html

That said, the online audio lectures at Family Radio, are illuminating and worth a listen:
See: http://worldwide.familyradio.org/zusa/english/connect/audio_archive/echoes/frame/download/download.html

Finally, for the offline version of the Family Radio nightly call in show, where folks ask questions about the bible to Mr. Camping, see:
http://worldwide.familyradio.org/zusa/english/connect/audio_archive/forum/frame/

I am not endorsing Family Radio’s doctrines, but one is able to learn quite a bit by listening to these materials. Just be careful you don’t swallow everything you hear in this call in show.

Most of what you will read about the end times are pre-millennial views: the view that Christ's return will usher in a future millennium of Messianic rule mentioned in the book of Revelation before the final judgment. The believers of this doctrine also hold to the notion of a Rapture of the righteous beforehand.

Then there are mixtures involving the views of the seven year tribulation and whether it is happening now, occurs later, etc.

1. Amillennialists believe that God's promises regarding the end times are figurative and will not be literally fulfilled, particularly the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ on the earth.

2. Pre-millennialists believe that Jesus Christ will return to the earth prior to His literal reign on the earth for 1000 years. Three groups of pre-millennialists include the following:

3. Post-tribulationists believe that the rapture will not occur until the end of the seven year tribulation, just prior to the beginning of the millennial kingdom.

4. Mid-tribulationists believe that the rapture will occur three and one half years into the tribulation, at beginning of the three and one half year great tribulation.

5. Pre-tribulationists believe that the rapture will occur prior to the seven year tribulation, but not necessarily immediately before the tribulation.

These doctrines all fall under the general heading known as the study of end times, or eschatology.

For explanations of the various eschatological beliefs see: http://www.religioustolerance.org/millenni.htm

I am a Amillennialist. I believe we are currently living in the Millennium and in the Tribulation period. Events described in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 and in most of the book of Revelation have already happened. To me the Antichrist is figurative and not a real person. I believe that the Kingdom of God is today present in the world through the presence of the heavenly reign of Christ, the Bible, the Holy Spirit and Christianity. Both good and evil continues in the world until the current Church Age ends suddenly when Christ returns to the sky above the earth. Then the Rapture immediately occurs. The Redeemed are transported to heaven where they will adopt spiritual bodies. The rest of humanity will be condemned at this time to eternal punishment. The world will be abandoned. History is no more.
