TIMES ARE AT HAND

In Matthew 24 and Luke 21, the gospel tells us that there will be earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places. Luke 21:25-26 There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

Have we already not seen the tossing and roaring of the sea. The Tsunami in Japan, and what has happened recently in America. As for earthquakes, New Zealand, Japan, and these are just birth pains.

When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. (Luke 21:20)

We have had wars and conflict in Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Afganastan, Syria. Not only has Jerusalem been surrounded by armies, but its closing in. At the moment we have Iran and Israel at the brink of war.

Did you know in the last days it’s not a flood that will destroy but fire.

(2 Peter 3:10) But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, the heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. (2 Peter 3:12) As you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming, that day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat, but in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

Rev 8:7 The first angel sounded; and hail and fire followed, mingled with blood , and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. Rev 9:18 by these plagues a third of mankind was killed by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.

There is going to be a new heaven and a new earth. The kingdom of God cannot be shaken.Heb 12:26-29  Rev 21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
The gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

The antichrist.

So who is the antichrist. Its simply someone who does not believe that Jesus born of flesh is the son of God. It’s a false doctrine…. Eg Koran……. Who is the antichrist according to scriptures?

1 John 4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit , but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God; every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard was coming , and is now already in the world.

Daniel 11:37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above them all.

Thess 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped so that he sits as God in the temple of God , showing himself that he is God

Rev 12 & 13 two players the beast and dragon. Dragon = devil. Rev 12:12…….for the devil has come down to you, having great wrath because he knows that he has a short time. 13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth. The dragon gives authority to the beast Rev 13:4.

Many on earth will worship the beast. Rev 13:8 He performs great signs Rev 13:13
Beast being someone that was wounded and lived. Rev 13, those that do not worship the beast will be killed. Forces many to take his mark or name otherwise you cannot sell or buy. It is a number of man 666.

Sits on seven mountains. 17: 9

Dressed in purple , scarlet and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. Rev 17:4


john 16 :12-15 in those days, the Spirit of truth will guide us in all things, and tell us of things to come. John 14:25-27 the holy Spirit will remind us of things spoken to us. Acts 2:17-21 we will dream, prophesy and have visions.
We will be equiped with Gods power - The Holy Spirit.

Just yesterday I heard on the news that israel attacked syria I think. Also, I heard some politicians talking about the wanting to have some sort of system for identification or something for 18 year olds to register to vote. Im not sure if this can lead to an idea for the national identification system but it seems like it's getting pretty close. Especially since people are freaking iut because Obama and stuff =.=

[LaSombra]

LOL - People are 'freaking out' about Obama? And countries have always been and always will be at war.

Maybe you should concentrate on the here and now and less on what might happen in the future.

[Maverick_Reborn]

Well, maybe freaking out is a little harsh. But somes staes are trying to secede again, and I feel that jerisalem will be destroyed soon. Israel is on the brink of war. Perhaps focusing on the future is a bad thing, but I cannot ignore the signs =)

[LaSombra]

Israel is always at war with someone. It's hardly a 'sign'.

[Maverick_Reborn]

But people are aiming at jerusalem. in the 1000 year millenium, jerusalem will be rebuilt. Which means that this might be the time where jerusalem must be destroyed. I don't want to fight, and maybe I am overreacting, but I feel that anything to do with israel at this point is important because israel will be saved.

I believe birth pains are at hand , and what happened in Japan and America is of what is to come.
We must remain vigilant. One day is a thousand years to our God. No one knows the time or day, not the angels nor the Son of God. Praying, that this war will end and so will the death and suffering.
