would you rather be living now, or 1000 years ago?

If I were a christian I would say now. Because I could not imagine living without all of those nice modern toys and gadgets that we have now. But, really the end of days? every religion has been screaming this since they made up the exsistance of a higher being or beings. The real end of days is when you as a person no longer live. At your death and mine we will see the end of days. And then it is off to the peaceful sleep of the dead. Or maybe a rebirth, Or maybe there is a heaven, or maybe there is that nothingness. Whi knows but I know one thing and I am sure of this any person that tells you that they "KNOW" there is a heaven or they "KNOW" there is a hell is a liar and the bible says not to trust liars. The reason they are liars is becasue they do not know, they can not know. No one that has died ever has come back to write a book about it or bring us video evidence of what is on the other side of life's curtain. One thing is certain it will be an interesting trip. That is of course is you a concious of that journey if not who cares any way because you are gone and there is nothing you can do about it.

In Catholic theology we are already living in the "last age."
However that is not cause for emergency, or preparing the aircraft of the world for rapture backup pilot plans. It simply means that we are in an eschatological state of stability - the plans of God for salvation of the world are set, no new revelations of scripture or prophecy are forthcoming, and we are simply now awaiting the time of fulfilment, the heavenly banquet of the bride and bridegroom. It could be a 100 years, or a million.
We have been in the last age for 2,000 years almost. It was the last age a 1,000 years ago, just as it is now. We may wait another 2,000 years. Who can say?

If one is living "high on the hog" what difference does it make?
Consider**, along with climate change, the delivery of food, water pollution levels and general pollution, delivery of medical services, delivery of mass education, exposure to disease, political unrest, religious unrest, growing economic problems. etc.
**Right now there are about 6.7 billion humans on the planet. In about 43 years, population is predicted to reach about 9.1 billion; an increase of 2.5 billion in one generation!
Of the six billion living three billion live in poverty now. I think it safe to say that 50 years from now there will be 9 billion living; but instead of 3 billion, there will be 6 billion in poverty.
Now add these figures to the problems listed in paragraph two. If you are a drinking man this should sober you up.

"If I were alive 1000 years ago" I wouldn't have any idea of the comforts and things we have today. Tough living? Sure. But that's the way it was - I would have nothing against which to compare it. "End time's?" I am a Catholic and have heard nothing of these impending events. Maybe I'm out of the loop.

A thousand years ago is the same as today. The only different is we have history and they didn't. 'nuff said.
By the way: comparison brings about discontent.

I look at it this way
people waiting for a rapture that failed for original followers are retarded
it's like waiting at a discontinued bus or train station and no service running for years
living in the moment is my recommendation

The "End Times" have been on-going since the establishment of the church on Pentecost, 50 days after Christ's Resurrection.
And thanks, I'm glad to be here and now, although the church is still persecuted heavily in other countries.

Swedenborg said the end of the old Christian Church and the beginning of the New Jerusalem was in 1757. Perhaps you agree with him in a way.

The end of times has come and gone. Remember that Jesus said that he would be back and that his disciples would see his return in their lifetime.
So what will christians grip on to now. Jesus lied to you!!
