I merely bring this thought to mind while thinking over the end times, prophecy and the like. I'm all for taking this country back to the basis of which the founding fathers established this incredible country. However, the Book of Revelation paints a very clear picture of how things essentially go from bad to worse and beyond, globally speaking. Is there really a chance this county is saved when the whole world will basically being going to hell in a hand basket? I'm certainly not trying to be a doomer or anything like that. But I'm interested in hearing other pedes opinions and sincerest thoughts on this matter as this is something that is really near and dear to my heart. I always wondered if my generation would be the one to witness the return of Christ the Messiah and the way things are going it really has me at attention. The Bible includes this final chapter for a very damn good reason. However, I do not believe in just sitting back and saying, "Well there's no point in fighting or resisting because this is all fate or destiny etc." Even Jesus (Yeshua HaMessiac) called bullshit when he saw it and took action (For instance the money-changers in the temple). I really truly feel that we're gearing up for the end and Trump's presidency was a last call of sorts for those who are faithfully minded to get our shit together. What are your guys and gals thoughts?

God will reign on this Earth for 1000 years, with his people, after the battle, at the end of that 1000 years the "Devil" shall be released again and God will destroy the planet.
I believe that many Christians are interpreting the end incorrectly. Their interpretation teaches it's all downhill. I believe there is a revival coming. A window of opportunity before the end. Christ's Spirit rises and expands the body of believers and begins to defeat evil (the battle we are in).
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Acts 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Acts 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 2:17, Acts 2:18, and Acts 2:21 have already been fulfilled during the Church Age ( A.D. 30 — present day)
Nobody knows when end times will occur. End tines could be soon or we cycle back to a God fearing world, and begin the descent into darkness again
This exactly... We've almost lost to the dark side several times and God choose to gives us another try.... We'll see if He does this time too...
We can fight and pray against evil (and we are told to just that) but evil will never truly be defeated on this world until Jesus returns.
What if Jesus has no plan to return until we get our butts in action? How would you work that one out?
You're gonna have to give me chapter and verse where you believe it's all on us as to when Jesus will return.
I have these two references regarding the timing of the return of Jesus.
First...
It is asked often, “Why do you think Jesus hasn’t returned yet?” It’s really not a hard question. Peter answers it in 2 Peter 3:15, “Our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved” (NLT).
And second...
It seems that there were some Christians Paul was ministering to that thought that Jesus had already returned and that they had been left behind. Paul responded by telling them that the end would not come – the Lord would not return – “until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed” (vs. 3). Paul then said that when the lawless one is revealed that “the Lord Jesus will overthrow [him] with the breath of his mouth and destroy [him] by the splendor of his coming” (vs. 8). (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12).
I feel that regarding the Lawless one, it's our job to reveal him and then Jesus will overthrow him.
That's all I've got for right now.
I'm sorry I don't see where those two verses tell us it's actually up to us. How about Mathew 24:36 - "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
True, it's arguable. I suppose I'm reading into it my personal belief that as long as we're acting like a bunch of animals, Jesus will take his time. I think Redemption requires an equal amount of effort on both sides. When evil comes I think our part is more than just clutching our pearls and saying, "oh Jesus come fix it!"
Amen on the "clutching our pearls" passivity junk. Ephesians 6:10-18 comes to mind and is how we fight the evil of this world.
Are we ready for the one world system to totally form? Its looking like it could but maybe it will hold off for a little longer. The thing is we are to stay working in the field, no matter. We are to stand with the full armour of God. We are not taken out of the battle. This is the time we were trained for.
Eventually this earth age will end and we will have a renewed heaven and earth. As Jeremiah tells us, God never created this earth to be destroyed but this time will roll up like a scroll and the heavens and earth will be as they were meant to be
Thank you for asking. Its near and dear to my heart also.
I see this whole vaccination thing as the forerunner or dress rehearsal for the one world order/ beast system. Thank you for your input. Along with everyone else!!!
What i have learned through this pandemic is to expect the unexpected. Lol. I never expected things to go down quite this way and quite this fast!
Yes I am pondering that scenario also
Concur 100% - this is their dry run, but we’ll end up winning this round. It will cause a massive global revival.
Our kids or grandkids will be dealing with the actual end times, I believe.
I agree. The time is closer than I think we realize.
When I was a young child the LORD impressed on my Spirit I was in the Generation to see the LORD return! It hasn't changed, but has gotten more evident as I see all the evil that is trying to overcome Good! Society has become viler from day to day and people are made fun of and reviled if they stand for Good! I believe we're right now in the time of the great deception and people are falling for it all over the world. Believe me, people are being conditioned for the Mark! You will see the LORD's return in this Generation!
How old are you fren?
I'll be 73 on December 23rd!
48 here - thank you for your insight!
With all due respect to our spirit-filled brethren, what I observe is that when the going gets really tough the religious minded tend to lean on a shovel and pray for a hole.
You can hear it in podcasts when the speaker runs out of useful ideas and feels boxed into a corner. It is as if a switch was thrown, or a fuse was blown in their mind and they recoil from the problem and revert to quoting scripture as the solution.
Revelations is a description of a vision of a probable future. It's a warning for people not to let certain things happen. It requires activity, not withdrawing and hiding in a closet to pray.
Spirituality is a blessing to man, but when it replaces carefully considered action it cannot be but an insult to God.
One must stop praying for a hole and grab that shovel and start digging.
Bingo. Nailed it.
The Bible specifically says to lock yourself in a room and pray. Nothing that man has ever accomplished has been without God's approval or sans his design...
It is when man takes the burdens upon himself that we fail, and miserably. All of this call to action crap is a tactic used by the opposition to get man to commit sin, which is an insult to God.
God says he has us and I am going to side with him on this one. You are to get your own house in order, and not worry about your neighbors house. God has a plan that we cannot possibly fathom. Denying God of his plan would also be an insult to him.
All this glowing isn't of the Holy Spirit!
If God wills it for me to go to it, I know that he will deliver me through it.

Not all people are called to be Children of God, at least not all follow the calling. I am pretty lacking myself. We are expected to be expectant of the hand of the enemy at all times for the devil is crafty and in need followers (supporters). He tempts them. This world, having accepted Jesus Christ, is not my own for it is written that the devil is the God of this world. We are called to suffer through it with our God who suffers much greater than we do having created paradise for man only to have it infected and tarnished. God gave this world to the devil and then sent pilgrims to inhabit it. Don't piss God off, he has ways that we cannot fathom. The devils soul purpose is to get as many to turn from God as possible because he wants to be exalted above the One True God. God, in his infinite wisdom and grace, has devised a plan to topple the devil and part of that would be being able to face the children of the devil and deny them their desire who the devil claims to offer freely to his followers. A nod to the fact that the devil ain't all that he wants to be.
Imagine if all of those people had fought, and won even. How would history remember the events? How would we see those events today? Do you think that what they were going through would have stopped? Would it be possible that we all look to Mao with admiration had he had a reason to fight back those that fought him and won? He is already very popular having starved much of his population. Would he not be seen as a far greater hero had the people rose against him and won or lost? Would he not be vindicated in killing the population had they rose against him. As it currently stands he is obviously evil and it requires brain washing to get people to follow his lead. Would anyone from the outside world do anything to help those people if they had rose against him? Would the people rising against him not lend credence to the idea that "they just haven't done it right!" Could that be used against us today? Would we even know they existed had they not held on to ensure that others might know the dangers? Do we not consider ourselves as trying to leave a better world for the next generation? It is unfortunate when man looks to man to solve his problems and leaves God out of the picture. How did these people rise to power in the first place?
If your enemy hits you he is guilty, if you hit him back you are both guilty. We are to do our best to preserve our rank, granted by the Blood of Jesus Christ, as guiltless.
If you take the Biblical approach, God had selected those that believed in him to receive the spirit and willed for their continuance through the ages. "Christian" as we know it doesn't really parallel with the Biblical teachings of Christ and has become a caricature of what it once meant. Preachers are not teaching the Bible as it is meant to be taught and rather choose specific verses to guide their flock the way that they wish. The Bible is a History book, which is why cherry picking it is beyond dangerous! (if you do not know history you are doomed to repeat it). A good one. Like with most history, elements are left out when one wants to promote an agenda. The Church (the people that believe, not a brick and mortar building) was infiltrated and torn apart from what Christ actually taught. I am not against trying to increase the Flock under Christ but when someone doesn't read their Bible they can easily be lead to believe just about anything that they want to. There is a push now to expand Christianity into an all encompassing God wants you to have what you want to have, just will it into existence. While not entirely untrue it lends to so very interesting situations. 1 being that Christ spoke that we are not to build treasures here, in this life, but build treasures in heaven. Telling a bunch of people that they can have whatever they want for it is the Will of God is not only false teachings but goes directly against Christ's words. The goal I see being the eradication of the personal relationship with the Creator, which I feel is Desired most by the Father, by keeping people busy chasing the tangible. Freaky.
I do not know that the Crusaders were Christian. Many will/have claimed Christianity as a means to "not look bad". While probably not actually taking the Lord's name in vain as specifically they hide behind the concept, boasting it as a means to hide their sin from man while never actually turning to the Father and repenting for their sin. They are lying about their faith, which is taught in some radicalized views of other religions, to gain support from those that wouldn't normally. Think Politician. The Crusades are also not exactly what is taught them to be. As I recall, it was a response to radicalized Muslims destroying everything in their wake in one/some of their Holy Wars. If Christians were involved forgiveness can be had by them had they sought the Father's forgiveness. The only sin that cannot be forgiven being blaspheming the Holy Spirit. God wants all that would turn to him, it is just about getting them to turn to him.
Child birth is often the result of nothing better to do than have sex, which happens a lot in places that have just experienced near extinction events. It is a drive of the Flesh and not of the Spirit, I feel, that guides these people to procreate. God himself is said to be able to make those pregnant that he wishes, if God gives you a baby you keep it! But in most of the cases I do not think that the people were praying to God for children. The situations that lead to such events have also been studied before they happened, again, which lead to great information for those in power. Think Psy-op. I do not know enough about the situations to claim any real understanding and cannot really talk about it without making an ass of myself but I see many times in history that it has been repeated. (Boomers)
There are sects of Christianity that do not have children at all. I do not in anyway mean to dissuade anyone from having children either, as there is a plan that I do not know and I would rather not be an interference of that plan. But I am man and will offer up that which I have seen to be true in hopes that it is within the plan.
I will add that the way that I understand it is that the Devil was meant to serve man and refused (how I do not grasp). After refusing he was cast from the Garden to Earth where he got busy making rules to keep man as his own servant. Overturning the Will that God had for man. God has rules that we can follow or break, if we break God's rules he will allow another with much harsher rules to reign over us, I think in hopes that we will turn back top him. We just got comfortable under the more strict laws. I believe that had Adam and Eve not lied about eating the fruit (passing the blame out of their shame) God would have forgiven them and we wouldn't be in this mess but we are so we carry the burden of repentance. They turned from God and refused to repent for their transgression against the Father, who did later offer another chance through his Son Jesus Christ.
You aren't hurting your hand leaning on that shovel so hard, are you?
I am not "leaning on a shovel" I am leaning on God! I can dig my own holes, I am pretty good at it too. I wouldn't ask of the Father to do something that I am capable of, that would just be rude. Instead I ask him to intervene where I cannot.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
“And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.” 2 Chronicles 31:21

“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” James 4:17
I disagree. Action is plainly called for in scripture, not inaction and faith alone.
I couldn't agree with you more. We all bare Adam and Eve's sin. Taking action personally and abroad helps fortify the faith and keep us closer to the holy spirit. I am really beside myself reading everyone's responses. Some I find quite on point and others leading to bits of inspiration or at the very least self reflection. I really admire this community. There are no strangers in the presence of the Lord.
When the "right thing" is seen to, in itself, possess sin it cannot be right. What action do you suppose is being suggested here? Perhaps I have plank in my own eye that must be removed but when I look upon this I see calls to Murder, calls to Slander, calls to Gossip. Man cannot commit SIN in the hopes of pleasing the Father.
“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” James 4:17
Cherry picking the Bible is what Satan tried with Jesus Christ when he was in the desert.
There is much that we can be doing right now and I am hopeful to be in the right place doing what I can. These vague calls to action are specifically vague.
Christ himself said that these things must come to pass, he never said anything about fighting it. Christ is coming with his army to do the Will of the Father.
I wasn't cherry-picking. I plainly gave you plenty of verses that are saying basically the same thing. If you don't like the Bible because it glows so much, that's a problem you have created for yourself.
A Warning against Pride
1What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?a 2You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
4You adulteresses!b Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himselfc an enemy of God. 5Or do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spiritd He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy? 6But He gives us more grace. This is why it says:
“God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.”e
Drawing Near to God
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it. 12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
Do Not Boast about Tomorrow (Proverbs 27:1)
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.” 14You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
15Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.” 16As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
All of James 4, looks a little different when you have context.
I really must thank the Father and you for getting me to open my Bible again, though. I am greatful! Thank you!
Deuteronomy 14:22-29 Has a complete thought within it. It is in regard to Tithes.
One verse within it, 26, all by itself, is opposite what the entirety of it says.
Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice.
The whole suggests all of what God meant.
Giving Tithes (Leviticus 27:30–34; Deuteronomy 26:1–15; Nehemiah 13:10–14)
22You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields. 23And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
24But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away, 25then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. 26Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household. 27And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
28At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates. 29Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands.
You are cherry picking and it is dangerous to use the Word of the Father in such ways. One shall not add to or omit from!
I think revelations is a warning of could/would happen if good people were not vigilant.
Getting to be way too many calls to revelations that line up now though.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." Matthew 24:9-14
False prophets -- MSM.

Thank The Vatican and the Jesuits. That should tell us everything we need to know!! FEAR is the name of the game from day one! We have the power to vanquish them in a instant but we are that Elephant tied to the stake with a little chain! The Day is coming the chain will be as a piece of twine!!
I feel the same way. Scriptures exist, and Earthly men decide which ones you get to see.
I have enjoyed reading the book of Thomas.
As my Lovely Wife keeps reminding me, we can not defeat Evil until the return of Christ. But I was thinking that This Timeline was where we could manage to cull at least some of the humans doing the bidding of Evil from our Societies, yeah, and put the endless war and forced famines and destructions down some.
The chinese flu shows signs of being the mark of the beast maybe, seems to fit in some ways. We look around as mere mortals and imagine we see the signs but we are blind really, This Timeline might be a nebulous thing. I'm sure other people and cultures have thought similar, surely the Jews and others must have thought hitler was heralding End Times.
Yes I hope for a moral revolution, a triumph of Judeo-Christian principles over darkness and Evil, I still have Faith we CAN force a more moral Society back into existence. We can not defeat Evil, Jesus didn't defeat it either... but we ought to be able to force our own man-made Laws into effect against mortals such as we are. We ought to be able to defeat Human enemies, just not the Enemy.
Pray for Humanity.

I think the 2046 date is likely spot on for the return of the sun. I don't know how it fits with revelation prophecy though.
I was raised with the same theology that you speak of. I have recently had my eyes opened to other opinions and takes on end times and revelations. It is only in the last couple hundred years that Christians have been focused on waiting for the rapture rather than fighting sin in the world. This relatively new theology was put into the Schofield Bible by a Mason and millions of copies were sent around the world to churches and bible colleges for free. What better way to take the fight out of Christians than to have them believe that its inevitable that the Devil wins and brings in a one world government and we can't stop it? We all sit around and wait for rescue. Then there is the Anti-Christ that we are all looking for as a sign. What if the Anti-Christ has already come and we are heading towards the final battle. There is no scripture that specifically talks about a literal 7 year tribulation that we somehow get to skip by way of an early secret rapture before Christ comes back a 3rd time at the end of the 7 years for the final battle before the Millennium.
Who is the Anti-Christ- https://www.who-is-the-antichrist.org/
A secret rapture?- https://www.secret-rapture.com/
You will see them coming in the Cloud(s).

What if it is already happened? 144,000 were said to be called up to wage war against the "Devil"
Blessings to the most High that he may bless those that have joined him for this most Glorious event!
There is no such thing as "The Antichrist". This interpretation is designed to mislead people into believing that antichrist is a person we are waiting for and not a spirit that is among us.
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Tell Paul that!
Which scripture are you referring to?
I was referring to the LORD impressing on my SPIRIT we are in the Generation to experience CHRIST's return. BTW- In Revelation CHRIST said time would be cut short or no person would be left alive! I also go with CHRIST's account from Matthew 24. That tells me no Pre-Trib, we will go through the Tribulation!
Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
The days He is referring to are the early days of the gospel when Christians were being hunted to prevent the gospel from spreading. In Matthew 24 Christ is addressing two questions:
Matthew 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? (destruction of the Temple, question 1) and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (the last day, question 2)
Christ told those listening that they would see the great tribulations leading up to and following the destruction of the Temple..
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
I agree that we will go through tribulations. We are going through tribulations now. But the tribulations won't get a bad as the days of the early church:
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Satan has deceived people into believing the worst is coming, the church can't stop it and it is fulfillment of prophecy (so the church embraces it). I believe God's mercy and revival is coming. The Lord's spirit is rising in the body of believers (His Church) and will overcome evil. God Wins.
If you were responding to my post, I'm not saying the Anti-Christ is a single person. The link I provided describes that there were many Ant-Christs already in the Papal system.
There is the spirit of the antichrist (that is already here) and the actual antchrist that will appear.
Any scriptures you can share that tell us about an "actual antichrist" that will appear?
But it all burn to the ground
Come Jesus come
Yup. The Earth will be punished and cleansed. Revelation isn't an optional book, it is the end. Both in terms of sin and time. Paradise awaits but there will be some trials and tribulations to go through first. Be ready.
If it gets bright again, it will only last for a season, the 7-Year Tribulation is set aside for the the judgement of the wicked. That reservation cant be cancelled and it’s coming in the next 3-5 years
Revelation tells us 'some' (nations) will elude the grasp of the antichrist. I hope the USA is one of them, but there is no way to know until it happens.
In any event, God is good. Nothing happens outside of His will.
Where does it say that some nations will elude the grasp of the beast? I ask this respectfully and for my own knowledge and understanding. Thank you for your input👍
I have a full day ahead of me, but I will look it up for you when I can. Be patient, please.
In Dan. 9:27; 11:40-45 Antichrist takes over Israel and many other countries, "but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon" (today's modern Jordan and Arabia).
My apologies, Silver. I remembered this Scripture wrong. It states that areas of Jordan and Arabia will escape his grasp, not random countries across the world. I will remember to look up Scripture references before commenting in the future.
All good. No need to apologize for anything. Thank you for your time and efforts in responding. I really appreciate it.
The book of the Revelation (the revealing/unveiling) of Jesus Christ. It’s about Him. It’s about God keeping His promise to the nation of Israel, the time of Jacob’s trouble, God has had them in time out for two thousand years while the Gentiles have been grafted in. He will turn His attention towards Israel once again and their eyes will be opened that Jesus was indeed their Messiah. It’s also a day of reckoning. Jesus will come in all His glory and judge the world and to establish righteousness while He rules with a rod of iron during the 1000 year reign. When satan is loosed and tries to get the world to fight against Christ He will finally deal with Satan and sin once and for all, it will be done away with. In a nutshell, this topic is too big for a post
