I’ve been wondering this ever since covid hit. I remember the day my whole office was shut down, and we were sent home to work due to covid. I felt like something shifted when I saw the (fake) videos coming out of China showing ppl dropping dead in the street. It felt like something big had changed, spiritually. Ever since then, I’ve been paying close attention. I’m on this board every day for the past year. The thing I can’t form an opinion on is whether we are legitimately in end times, or if this is just a blip on the radar of history similar to something like WWII. Some Christians I talk to say we are definitely in end times and that rapture or apocalypse is definitely coming within the next few years. Others don’t think so at all. I want to hear your opinions. Do you guys think we will all come out of this eventually and the world will go on in a better way, or do you think Jesus comes back SOON? If Jesus IS coming back soon, what timeframe are you thinking?

I don't think so fren.
I could be wrong but imo the end times will make this look like a girl scout squaredance
The end-times theologies are the original demonic psyop to placate the people into complacency. Jesus Himself said He didn't knew when He would return, let alone any of us. Fight the good fight, remain steadfast in your faith. God takes care of the rest.
So basically this is one of those situations where I need to just be okay with not knowing. And that nobody is going to know the answer. You are right, thank you for replying ❤️
Absolutely. If you take it as an excuse to "let it all go to Hell, because Jesus will save it", think of all the damage that Satan will do if your black pilled because he's lying to you.
I have a friend that thinks this is okay, because it's speeding up Christ's return. I think he's in for a rude awakening.
I have seen this in some Christian people I respect as well. Basically their mindset is that it is the end times, there is nothing we can or should do about it bc it is what God said would happen and that our only job is to just survive it without giving in to the antichrist. That is why it confuses me so much. I would think we aren’t supposed to passively accept the evil that will go on- I would think we should fight hard against it. But then after thinking that, I know in the Bible that there were instances where Jesus said don’t fight back against the state. Like when the guards came to the garden of gethsemane and the apostle chopped off the guards ear to keep him from taking Jesus to pilate and Jesus said no don’t fight bc this is in prophecy to happen. So it’s like is the end times a situation like that? - where we don’t fight back bc it’s destined to happen? I get so confused about how I should be acting, so I wanted to see what you all think about it
The bible makes it clear. Read it, over and over and ask God to show you what it means. Its apathy, its not dates, its BE READY. And BE STRONG IN FAITH.
I’m seeing tons of apathy from all the people of the world right now which makes me think it’s getting close unless something big happens to snap everyone out of it
Yep. End times from a biblical standpoint are to be NOT complacent. In fact cowardice, apathy, lack of knowledge are characteristics of the last days. True understanding of end times means active resolve and standing against evil in every way we know how. Fearing God not man.
What youre describing is right its horrific disinfo as to what the last days really are--those end times theologies sure are doctrines of demons. They go against what the bible describes.
Well in the bible the last days are described BY Jesus and subsequently by the apostles, and the biggest take home is be ready. Be ready means know Jesus, be born again and saved. The description of what to look for-- is as in the days of Noah and of Sodom and Gommorah--which are the 2 times God intervened bc it was literally that bad.
Note the things that particularly characterized the awfulness of their debauchery--unnatural sexual relations. In Noahs time, it was with nonhumans/angel I guess we can interpret as demonic beings, and they were having babies with them. In S & G--well the name sodom tells a lot. The homosexual men were raping and taking boys from homes, doing all kinds of perversions.
In BOTH examples, we are told the rest of the normal life continued in the midst of it. Eating, drinking, marrying, buying & selling, etc.all things pertaining to life. This can be understood as not that thats wrong, but Id say the numbness rather than outrage at the atrocities was not ok.
So we are told when you see it looking LIKE THAT-- be ready, dont be caught off guard. But when someone tells you within x years or at this time--dont listen bc its clear the signs alone is how we know the 'signs of the times'. Not bc of what a pastor/tv evangelist says or anyone else. By being AWAKE and seeing with our own eyes whats happening and with this, be ready--know Jesus.
Note also endtimes are known by DECEPTION, PPL NEEDING TO WAKE UP, COWARDLINESS, FEAR OF MAN as well as extreme debauchery of the worse kind.
Looking around at what’s going on in the world makes me think we are at sodom and ghommora (sp) levels right now. The whole transgender agenda and LGBTQ being so accepted, the pedo stuff that is everywhere, and the fact that most ppl don’t care enough to pay attention. They would rather watch keeping up with the kardasians. Stuff like that is what makes me think we are close
Another important thing to keep in mind is that Christians have said we were in the end times since Nero was emperor, so take the doom and gloom with a grain of salt.
Yeah that’s why it’s so hard to figure it out! So many atrocious things have happened throughout history, and surely the ppl living in that time period thought it was the end too. That’s why I go back and forth on it
Satan has never been so blatant. Its coming out in the open like never before.
Personally, I think the first horseman of the apocalypse has been let loose. He came in riding a white horse like he's some kind of savior. He was given a stephanos/crown (corona), and is holding a 'toxon.' (a bow which is used to shoot poison darts, from which we get our words Toxic, Toxin) and has gone forth conquering.
Very interesting
The return of the Sun. If you are a millennial, and they don't kill you with the vax first, you could well live to see it.
Live your life everyday like God will at any moment come to judge the world. Get right with God and enjoy His eternal love and protection.
I think they want us to think it is. Perhaps a “meme it into reality” thing on their part, at least as part of their demoralization tactics.
So basically them trying to convince us it’s the end so that people give in and accept what they are trying to do. That makes a lot of sense. Kind of like how the patent for corona ended in 666 or whatever- maybe they did that kind of thing on purpose
I used to think so––in the 80s. I expected everything to crash, and then the world went on and on. I have come to the conclusion that end time things will not look the way everyone seems to have them figured out. Jesus said they would actually be saying they had peace and safety before the end, not "Oh, crap, we're all doomed." I have also concluded that much of the content in Revelation is now historical from our perspective, detailing the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of new powers, all laid out in dream language and symbols. It is amazing to me that people who can't bring themselves to believe God still does miracles today believe that scorpion horses will be loosed on the earth to sting all the bad people.
Everything we are experiencing now or fearfully expect has happened before (only without the iPhones). Have we forgotten all the truly horrific things that happened in the past, things that seemed like apocalyptic nightmares? But it was more that seemed. The Black Plague is one example. It wiped out 1/3 of all the people in Europe. Think of it! Some formerly bustling towns were left with only one or two survivors. There were so many bodies they began dumping them together into holes. Does the scale of that deserve no consideration in the face of charts and diagrams that have to ignore it because they put everything into the future?
The truth is that this stubborn nonsense is all based on (very) bad exegesis of Daniel 9, which was about the coming Messiah, the ministry of His disciples after His death and resurrection, and the eventual destruction of Jerusalem. There is no self-consistent justification for splitting it apart to insert 2000 years so the last bit happens in the distant future, and I mean none. They do this with no other prophecy in the Bible and don't realize how much it leads them around in unproductive circles. There is also no justification for suddenly switching who the prophecy is speaking about to make part of it about some future antichrist. There are other scriptures that talk about this evil person plainly and detail the conditions that will allow him to rise. You don't have to wrestle it into other scriptures to prove your point.
In spite of everything that's happening, I do not believe we are yet in the time of Jesus' return. I think Satan has jumped the gun again, trying to make his antichrist plans happen like he did with every historical megalomaniac who wanted to take over the world and remake it. This will fail, too, because we are in the time when the rock is smashing into the toes of the Babylonian system pictured in the timeline image the King of Babylon saw in a dream. When it is time for the other thing, God will let it happen, but not before. I think He means to give the world a taste of what it can be like to live in peace under just governments first, so people can make a real choice between good and evil without the unjust interference of mass brainwashing.
I believe we are in a time of Revelations, that does not mean it's the end. A Revelation is something revealed, especially a dramatic disclosure of something not previously known or realized. Which perfectly describes the times in which we live.
Look into the 6 day creation clock, we are right 6,000 years and getting ready to enter the 7th. When God rested and SANCTIFIED the creation.
Even so, Lord, come.
We are in the Beginning Times.
No
We can only recognize the season, and it looks like it to me. Of course I may be wrong but something Biblical is happening with the mass awakening.
Absolutely 💯. Things will get worse before they get better, if you believe the scriptures.
So do you think we are basically at the beginning of the tribulation years? Where things will just keep getting progressively worse until raptured out of it- How does that thinking align with believing in white hats taking out the cabal? This is where I can’t figure out what to think
My beliefs are simple. God's in charge. We know what the outcome is, but the tribulations in-between is prophetic. Many scriptures say that the saints through prayer, and by the gifts of the holy spirit will prevail. That doesn't mean we won't suffer, or even die in some cases. Those who love the Lord will have peace regardless of what happens, with the faith that good will overcome evil.
Faithful people good hearted Americans, (white hats) will try to save our country and protect our civil liberties which is what the evil ones hope to destroy.
I have always believe that we are Gods hands and feet. We can do good or evil with those hands. Some days I think we are at the end and other days I don’t. What I do know is that in the meantime we have to help ourselves. We have an obligation to God to try our best to act as He would have us act. Take our part in this crisis. We shouldn’t just sit around speculating. Do the work of what ever talent He gave you.
I’m the same way- some days I think we are close to the end and other days I don’t. But you are right, I need to figure out what I’m supposed to DO. I have been trying to wake up my friends and family and some ppl online. Not sure what else to do in the meantime
Yeah, you are right. We win in the end regardless. I guess I just like speculating and discussing the “in-between” part
Our concept of winning is not always what we perceive it to be.
Jesus is victorious, yet he had to suffer and die.
Set the goal for joy and victory, be prepared for perseverance along the way.
I think the spiritual awakening is happening now.
Thank you. You have obviously studied end times. Mathew 24 (KJV) gives us a snapshot. Born Again Christians WILL NOT go thru the Tribulation. God’s Church - those who have the Holy Spirit residing within them, will be removed along with The Holy Spirit. The ONLY thing holding back evil beyond imagination is God’s Church and the Holy Spirit. It’s the Holy Spirit in Born Again Christians that fights against abortion, loss of God given freedoms, theft, genocide, euthanasia, wars, human trafficking, transgendering, false religions like the Masons, etc. and a million other crimes against humanity. Satan has made God’s plan for humanity into a mockery by substituting Love for lust, Peace for War, Truth for lies. Faithfulness for unfaithfulnes. Patience for impatience. Self-Control with anger etc. Satan preaches a COUNTERFEIT doctrine. Those who hate God and Jesus Christ will display the counterfeit of God in their lives. Their lives are spent destroying rather than building up. Satan and his minions are working overtime atm. I believe before the Church is taken away, there will be a great revival before the Rapture. The Bible also tells us that after the Rapture, 2 Witnesses will be on earth and proclaim God’s Word and it will be during this time, many will come to know God. But they will be martyred for their faith.
One of the most beautiful verses in the Bible is John 3:16 that tells us that Jesus Christ died for our sins. Sin is anything you are RELIGIOUS about. Be that sport, your job, money, addictions, feminism, leftism, humanism and any other ism that separates us from the Love of God. Thru His Holy Spirit He will help overcome anything that SEPARATES us from the God’s Love. At this time in history, we are experiencing the attack of satan on the whole world. Those Born Again and are anchored in God’s Word, are able to pray for strength and wisdom and allow Jesus to carry our burdens. Many millions worldwide are carrying loads that are unbearable and are trying to do it in their own strength. Let Go and Let God help you!! Seek God today while you still have time! Read John 3:16. While the Bible encourages us to meet with other Christians, you don’t have to be a Baptist, Anglican, or whatever the badge says over the door to be a Christian. In fact, there are enough tools to find online and start with any Bible Study around John 3:16. If God leads you to join a church, make sure they teach End Time Prophecy and they use the King James Bible. Yes, even the globalists have changed the newer versions, but that’s another story. Those churches that skip out on Revelation/Daniel/ Mathew etc. and use excuses not to teach their congregations, will answer to God. But for now during these uncertain times, allow God to takes those burdens that are weighing you down. He is only a prayer away. God Bless.
Do you think we are at the start of all those events and that they will start to take place soon, or do you think that’s not going to happen until hundreds of years from now? That’s what I can’t come to a conclusion on. Another commenter in this post kinda said that nobody really knows, so maybe it’s one of those things that we just have to accept that we won’t know until it’s here. I just like to speculate and see what others think about it
There are a couple of passages that come to mind. Daniel 12:4. There is a snippet there. Daniel, seal up this Book until………knowledge and ‘travel’ are increased. Could this mean at a time when knowledge and travel is freely available to ALL? We can travel across the world in around a day/2. And nearly every child has the opportunity today to go to school. Even 50 years ago in some wealthy countries, this was not available, let alone 3rd world countries. And a huge uptick in natural disasters. Earthquakes and wind speed being a couple. The passage regarding ‘nobody knows’……includes the Son of Man, Jesus. Only God knows but He has left us clues.
And also with almost everyone having access to the internet - that could be part of it in regards to giving humans across the globe access to all information
Yes!
I do feel like something is different. I have always tried to stay close to God, but it does feel stronger now. It could be just bc humans naturally get closer to God when they face their mortality (which covid caused a lot of us to do that.) I do see more people waking up around me- to the demonic things going on in Hollywood and music especially. We live in interesting times
How do you know the plan started in 2014?
Why are you equating Q with Jesus' coming?
For me, because he knows what is going to happen and is trying to save as many as possible.
Blasphemous! Q is NOT Jesus. I put my trust in Christ, and therefore I can still hope for the plan since Q aligns with good. You are creating idols. God's Will is God's Will; Q may or may not be a part of that.
