Answer 1

In my religion it's called Ragnarok but it's not the end of the world. It's the end of the known world which is reborn. It's preceded by 3 years of winter.

When we get a year of winter with no sign of it letting up, I'll prepare for the great battle. Not going to worry until then.

Nostradamus quatrains - sorry. Most usually figure them out after the fact and not before.

Yes, I believe in life after death and I hope for Asgard - Freya or Odin's hall.

Rapture - ridiculous hope not talked about in the Bible. Ask the History Channel.

Answer 2

“THE Apocalypse!” What comes to your mind when you hear that expression? Is it doomsday? Holocaust? World War III? The end of the world? If these mental pictures appear, you are not alone in that respect. Science and the news media paint man’s future as gloomy. So is it any wonder that many link the apocalypse with human extinction by some catastrophic event?

“Apocalypse is today not merely a biblical depiction but it has become a very real possibility,” warned UN Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar in his inaugural speech. “Never before in human experience have we been placed on the narrow edge between catastrophe and survival.” What was he referring to? It was to nuclear confrontation arising from an intensification of the present arms race. Reinforcing his warning to the United Nations, he stated that “some 500,000 scientists all over the world are devoting their knowledge to the search for weaponry more sophisticated and more deadly.”

Others, too, are aware of today’s situation. Hans Jonas, emeritus professor of philosophy at the New School for Social Research, says that his main fear is an “apocalypse threatening from the nature of the unintended dynamics of technical civilization.” He links the apocalypse with ‘exhaustion, pollution, desolation of the planet, as well as the threat of sudden destruction by the atom bomb.’

Similarly, historian Golo Mann stated: “We cannot have another world war. War is the wrong word. We should ban the term ‘World War III’ and say instead apocalypse or holocaust.”—Hamburg’s Die Zeit, August 30, 1985.

Yes, man recognizes that he is on the brink of self-destruction. But will he trigger the apocalypse? Not according to the Bible, which states that “Jehovah God, the Almighty”—not man—will “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” (Revelation 11:17, 18) Therefore, understanding what the apocalypse is from the Bible’s viewpoint may give you a different outlook, an entirely new and brighter one.

What It Really Is

The apocalypse is described in a letter to the Thessalonians. There the apostle Paul states: “It is righteous on God’s part to repay tribulation to those who make tribulation . . . but, to you who suffer tribulation, relief along with us at the revelation [or, apocalypse] of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction.”—2 Thessalonians 1:6-10.

The apocalypse, therefore, is the revelation of Jesus during a period of “great tribulation.” (Matthew 24:21) According to W. E. Vine’s An Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, the Greek word a·po·ka′ly·psis refers to “the Lord Jesus Christ when He comes to dispense the judgments of God.” Elsewhere, the Bible refers to this revelation, or apocalypse, as “the war of the great day of God the Almighty” at Armageddon.—Revelation 16:14, 16; 19:11-21.

True, regarding the apocalypse, we have seen that the Bible speaks of “tribulation,” “vengeance,” and “punishment.” Nevertheless, it also speaks of “relief” for those innocent ones who have suffered tribulation. God’s Word promises us that “just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more.” (Psalm 37:10) So the apocalypse will relieve mankind of all wicked influences. It will be a turning point to better conditions for the honest-hearted—not an event for them to fear.

Thus, rather than complete annihilation of all, or extinction, the apocalypse will be the righteous solution to mankind’s problems. Does not the idea of living in a new era—an era of righteousness, peace, and comfort—appeal to you and your family?

But are we approaching the Biblical apocalypse? If so, do we have a way of knowing its exact time?

Answer 3

Great ?!!! see my 360 blog and I won't cut and paste the answers!
Synopsis:1. The end is nearer than people think!
2. ANY "Prophet" who is not 100% right 100% of the time is a false prophet for God cannot be wrong!
3. God will raise those who love Him and have died at His Second coming and we all will go to heaven together. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 & 17
4. same verse as above--nothing--"Secret" about trumpets blowing and the sound of the voice of the arch angel and all those dead people coming from their graves and the earthquake that accompanies it!
5. We are about to find out about the great tribulation and everyone should study their Bibles for themselves with much prayer.

Answer 4

The Apocolypse: my thoughts in order of questions asked:
A. I don't really, it is kind of like thinking about the big one if you live in California.
B. Not any more than anyone else...there was a show on the History Channel about a month ago...check it out, yo.
C. I think there is something, but not sure what. Maybe it is wishful thinking. I don't believe in an ordered heaven and hell. A good short play to read is called No Exit, by Sartre. Just an aside. It's about his version of hell.
D.Tribulation, rapture? Umm...not sure...I imagine a lot of pileups on the interstate.

Answer 5

Apocalypse: If it's Crap, Flush it.
end times: no such phrase in Bible
Nostradamis: is DEAD
life after death: life + death = DEAD
the tribulation: JC gave it no place at all in Mt 24:21
rapture: too late for all rapture theories beyond 2003

Grace --> Mercy --> Peace with you all. Amen.

Answer 6

It will happen..... the Jews are a thorn in the rest of the worlds sides, MOST of the worlds' I should say.... History is the proof of that statement..... as for Nostradamis ?? Well, even satan knows the truth, just NOT the times....... life after death ?? YES....... rapture ? the Children of God, the Church, the Bride of Christ, the fulfillment of the Body will meet Jesus IN the air, be taken away, a falling away, Law and Grace do NOT and can NOT mix......... Tribulation ?? the anti-christ will be revealed, a peace treaty with Isreal will be made for 31/2 yrs, then poof, they will be made, as will all who are alive, to worship him and NOT God...... there will be famine, draughts, wars, killings(murder) will be an everyday thing....... It will be worse than anything a human mind can comprehend.....When the armies gather to destroy the Holy City, Christ will come and with the sword, the WORD of God, He will destroy them !!!! go in peace......... God bless
