How confident are you that we are in the end of days?

Question

what current events happening now are described in the book of revelation?

Answer 1

Take for an example the Technology of today, that is picture in various places of the Book of Revelation. But first, go back to the prophecy concerning the development of Technology.

How could possible 4 thousand years ago a Prophet record so implicitly the technology that is taking place worldwide today, when it didn't exist back then?

Among the prophecies of Daniel's concerning the last days, (and the angel does specify) the "last days.) He speaks of people moving about to and fro, and how knowledge would increase.

In Daniel 12:4 we read; 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.

For the increasing of knowledge, is the vehicle by which came the arrival of Technology.

I believe, the advancement of knowledge and technology, Satan is using and manipulating, to achieve (his foolish thought) his goal of controlling the world, and having the world under his power of authority, that we read so much about in the Book of Revelation.

In the Book of Revelation 13:16-17 we read; And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

How will Satan accomplish his goal of controlling the world, and having the world under his power of authority? The answer is simple when you think about it! It's through the advancement of knowledge, in technology.

Here, we are being told, it will not be through money, but an assign mark, called the mark of the beast, on the right hand or the forehead of a person.

At the time this prophecy was given, man had no imagination, of how Satan would accomplish this!

But, today, through modern technology, not only do we see this as a potential, but, the "conditioning" for it, is happening right before our very eyes today!

It's interesting here for me to note that, in our day, there is a
technology, that any world dictator of the past would have dreamed of having in reach of their hands.

And that is the electronic abilities, but which one could control all commerce, within a nation, or possible, the whole world, by a "cashless' transaction, with barcodes, implantable chips, and the such.

Were already hearing and reading about how people can have a silicone chip implanted in the flesh of their pets to identify them if they are every lost or stolen.

All of these things that are happening technologically, fall right
into the what the Bible tells us will take place, in the last days,
where no man, woman, or child, will be able to buy or sell, unless they have a certain mark!

Is it possible that an identification chip implanted in the flesh, be the means that is used for and by Satan, to accomplish world control?

There are many signs that the Bible tells us of, that truly
identifies, our generation, as the first one, that one could say, is in the last of the last days, and God's time clock on humanity, as a whole, is ticking down!

We have already seen how the Bible tells us, in the last days, how a man will arise, who will control the world.

Now, anyone knows to do this, one much have a lot of technology to accomplish this, and part of what he controls is all banking and commerce! No body could have done this, in the past. But, someone is coming and he's gonna control the world, and the technology to do this, is here today!

Communication Technology

In Matthew 24:14 Jesus says; And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

When we consider that over two thousands years ago, many nations, including the North and South America, were not yet discovered. In this, it is remarkable, that Jesus made such a declaration.

But, only since the 1980's have the fulfillment of this prophecy been possible, through the deployment of global communication satellites, and other communication technology, the gospel is indeed now being preached to every nation.

There are several things we come upon in the Book of Revelation, that is interesting, and we need to take note of.

The first is recorded in Revelation 14:6, where John says; And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Here we have John seeing an angel flying through the heavens, having the everlasting gospel, and he's proclaiming this gospel to the entire world.

Now, it not so far fetched, to look at the communication satellite networks, that we have established, for worldwide communication, and realizes, that, we can now communicate worldwide, via these satellites, in the heavens above.

Where, just as a man who control the world, could govern the
activities of the world, so to is the technology in place, where the gospel to, could be preached to the entire world, during the tribulation period.

The second interesting note is recorded in Revelation 11:3-9 we read; And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

In Revelation 11:3-9, this section of scripture we have two of God's witnesses, during tribulation. We read here, how they will be killed and their bodies will lie in the streets of Jerusalem on display, for the people to rejoice over, for three and a half days, and how the entire world will be able to see them.

In verse 9-10 we read; And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

The viewing of their body's by the entire world would have been impossible in past generations.

However, because of the worldwide communication systems we have today, through satellites, where one could be sitting in their living room, watching television, and see some event like this, as its taking place in Jerusalem.

This is just a few examples of the Technology in Johns Prophetic visions, laid out in the Prophetic Desgin of God

It is interesting to look back in time, to the life of Abraham or
David in ancient times, when communication consisted of some form of hand written message. When humanity traveled at the speed of donkey,horseback, camel, elephant or boat, and when humanity clothed oneself with a livestock and an agronomy economy.

But then, we can look back to the time of George Washington, not so long ago.

We communicated through? Some form of hand written message. We traveled? At the speed of donkey, horseback, boat, and etc. And we still clothed ourselves with? Livestock and an agronomy economy.

But here we are in a short period of time, where we communicate via satellite, at the speed of light, travel at the speed of sound, and create the very atoms and molecules that we desire for synthetic fabric.

Answer 2

We have the technology to enforce a world wide ban of sales to people without a device implanted in them. The chips are already being put into people willingly for different reasons, it's just a matter of time before they get all the different types into 1 and force it on everyone. At no other time in history was it possible to enforce such a thing, but it is now. Those chips can hold a GPS beacon, medical information, money information, legal backround, etc, etc. They just can't get it all on 1 chip yet, once they do...

Then there is the EU, it's known as the revived roman empire. It has a lot of the same borders and at it's creation some are quoted as having said "We sure felt like Romans.". Not that the comment is important, just giving an insight to the attitudes of those that helped create it. The EU will be the start of the government that will help the antichrist propel to power. Once he rules the world and borders shift for power, you may have different people in charge of different areas.

There is much else in revelation that can happen now as a warning, the rest is pretty much in the signs of the end times and daniel. Since you specificly asked for revelation, that's all I can think of at the moment. Most of the final book is judgements that will only be seen at that time, no warning except for what the Lord has told us, but again, there isn't much else to say that you can see now heading it. It's pretty fast paced once it begins, and woe to any who have to live in it.

Answer 3

one of my biggest "proofs" is that if we think of the revelation as a translucent object and we place it over the mayans calender, they somewhat go together, and for the mayans the end is somewhere around the gregorian year of 2012.
not to mention the fact that it may be possible that the mark of the beast is a metaphor for the RFID tags that will one day be implanted into the bodies of the people.
climate change, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc, etc. have been getting much much worse.
confusion is also exceedingly great.
and i also heard the other day that jesus has returned, and he was bringing the dead back to life...beings everybody did not see him come from the sky (which is how jesus said he would come) i can only assume that he is one of the anti christs that is also said to come in the end times.
there is more and more proof, but those that do not believe, can never be convinced unless they want to believe, so theres no point in really getting into great detail.
the thing about it is that ever since it started, its been working its way to the end, getting closer and closer every day. and when it does reach its day, and it does end, it will then start all over again (its just a cycle). and then from that first day on, it will get closer and closer to the end every day thereafter, until it reaches its day, and ends, and when that happens it will begin again.

Answer 4

Very confident because the Bible explains we are. Not only in Revelation, but in Matthew chapters 24 & 25, Mark chapter 13, Luke chapter 21, and 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 2 Peter 3:3,4.

Revelation 6:1-8 speaks of the 4 horsemen of the Apolcalypse. There is no historic evidence to prove that those things represented by the 4 horsemen came to be a reality during the 18th centures after the death of the apostle John who recorded this vision given to him by divine inspiration. John died at about 98 C.E. But when we look at the 20th and 21st Centuries, we see these things symbolized as having become a reality.

The white horse represents Jesus as the newly installed king of God's Kingdom. (Psalm 45 prophesied about Jesus becoming king. At Hebrews 1:8,9 the apostle Paul showed that this applies to Jesus when he quoted Psalm 45:6,7)

The firey-colored horse pictures cruel man-made warfare on an international scale because it says: "to the one seated upon it there was granted to take peace away from the earth" (Rev. 6:4) **** world war 1 and 2, first wars on a global scale which took "peace away from the earth."

The one seated on the black horse had scales in his hand.(Rev. 6:5,6) This pictured famine. Famine has continued to be a worldwide problem especially since the earlier part of the 20th century.

Revelation 6:8 describes the last horse, it was a pale horse and "the one seated upon it had the name Death And Hades was closely following him." The 20th century has seen a major fulfillment of this pale sickly horse causing death. The Spanish flu of 1918 killed 20 million people, AIDS continues to be a global threat, along with other diseases.

The sign of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse being seen shows that we are in the last days.

Revelation 11:18 also gives comfort though, it shows how God feels about those selfishly ruining the earth. It says that God is going "to bring to ruin those ruining the earth." And the book of Revelation also speaks of Armageddon which is God's war, not a human war, but a time when God will execute judgment against the wicked. (Revelation 16:14-16) After this, there will be only good things in store for those who remained obedient to God. Revelation 21:3,4 shows that God's servants on earth will enjoy God's protection (pictured by "the tent of God will be with mankind" as verse 3 states) and then as verse 4 shows there will be no more mourning, pain, and no more death. (This is definitely referring to earth because there is no death in heaven.)

Answer 5

When I go on line to look up an answer for a yahoo an R&S question and I get a link to kiddy porn I'd say were on our way out. We can only hope so.
As far as prophacy goes the last happend with Isrial becoming a nation again.. the only thing left is the return of Christ

Answer 6

Well the 3rd Angels message is being preached to all nations right now, the mark of the Beast is already in process, or here rather. The whore who wears scarlet it in place, and is the anti Christ. 2 Timothy 3 sounds like a profile for the teenagers, and adults of this day, so I don't were too far from the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ :).
O and if you want me to explain all I mentioned, email me.
God Bless

Answer 7

it's already been said to have been postponed so many times that I have very little and of course there are sundry other reasons .such abscurities have been said to mean the end times for well over a thousand years at least... animals are countries now what genius thought of that rubbish ? If at any thing one was to interpret this dream of John's with any sense it would mean ones personal demise is at near not the world and that might make some spiritual sense even to a
psychologist but to fantasize the end of the world over and over again expecting the same results in the definition of insanity.
peaceout

Answer 8

Pretty confident it will happen in my lifetime. I don't have time to go look up sciptures right now, but there are plenty "signs of the times" that have been fulfilled. There are still a few more prophecies which have not yet been fulfilled, however. Peace, Love and Blessings.

Answer 9

Based on revelation and end time prophecies, here are just some of things happened/happening:

1. New Jerusalem
see: http://one-jerusalem.org

2. Great climactic change

3. The coming of the messiah
http://one-faith-of-god.org/constitution/one_faith_0550.htm

4. The unity of heaven and hell
http://one-heaven.org

5. The unity of world government
http://heal-the-earth.org

6. Great wisdom and miracles
see http://ucadia.org and incredible breakthroughs

7. The antichrist- the one born of royal blood who denies the title of messiah
see http://ucadia.org/frank/frank.htm

Of course, this could all be complete rubbish...

Answer 10

Too soon! We as humans are killing our selves and most of us are unaware or don't care or have something stupid to say like some peoples answers above.
We have killed off animal, forests, are running out of water killing the sea animals with our muck. And if you haven't noticed the change in weather pattens like floods in one area and drought in others keep your eyes closed and tune out cos worse is yet to come.

I also try to do what I can and teach my children to do the same. We are on level 5 water restrictions here.

The big guys need to listen to the people

Answer 11

Very confident that our days r numbered. Look around at the demoralization of the population. Murder, rape, drugs, porn, the depletion of clean air and water, global warming, weather changes the world over, how much longer can this all go on.
