Is this all coincidence or perhaps the end of the world is drawing closer??

Also jus wanna hear your opinons on end time theology like your views on millenialism, post, pre or ammillenialist???
Rapture???? post-tribulation, pre-trib, mid-trib or partial rapture?

Loadza differing theories but jus wanna hear peoples opinions

i haven't read much of revelations... so im not too sure... but from what i see in the news and everything.. i believe that the news is starting to draw everything out of context.. although i can't deny that it does seem that more bad things are happening...
im just wondering is that it is just more apparent now because of the power of news and the availability of it... just a thought... but it does seem that more is happening =/

we'll be living in end times certainly when there is one currency ( world bank) and all the seasons cease to exist! eh... anyone notice distinct similarities with the world currently???? winters are warming and summers are cooling.... not just global warming!!! <_<

and "bad things" should be defined more as natural disasters. yes, there is certainly more of those happening. :unsure:


should we preach a message of end times??? should we leave people unarmed with the knowledge of what's gonna hapen? scary question!

thinking victorians now... :blink:

When the world ends
Collect your things
Youre coming with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
Well be lying in bed

Im gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the buildings crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, well be churning
You know, love will be our wings
The passion rises up from the ashes
When the world ends

When the world ends
Youre gonna come with me
Were going to be crazy
Like a river bends
Were going to float
Through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends
You know thats whats happening now
Im going to be there with you somehow, oh...

Im going to tie you up like a baby in a carriage car
Your legs wont work cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall
The love you got is surely
All the love that I would ever need
Im going to take you by my side
And love you tall, til the world ends

Oh, but dont you worry about a thing
No, cause I got you here with me
Dont you worry about a
Just you and me
Floating through the empty, empty
Just you and me
Oh, graces
Oh, grace

Oh, when the world ends
Well be burning one
When the world ends
Well be sweet makin love
Oh, you know when the world ends
Im going to take you aside and say
Lets watch it fade away, fade away
And the worlds done
Ours just begun
Its done
Ours just begun

Were gonna dive into the emptiness
Well be swimming
Im going to walk you through the pathless roads
Im going to take you to the top of the mountain thats no longer there
Im going to take you to bed and love you, I swear
Like the end is here

Im going to take you up to
Im going to take you down on you
Im going to hold you like an angel, angel

Im going to love you
Im going to love you
When the world ends
Im going to hold you
When the world is over
Well just be beginning...




One of my favorite songs from the matrix fro some reason i thought it was appropriate

ive been studying revelation in the reading aids, a lot of it is scary. it even puts a number on the amount of people who will be saved in the end (i think its 120,000 or 12,000) not much is it? also it talks about a number of Ages of the earth and we are in the last one.

however i dont think it is necessary to start telling pple the end is nigh but to nevertheless always warn them because remember the verse from the Gospel which goes something like "the end will come like a thief in the night" so we won't now when the Apocalypse will be but we should always be ready, trying to follow God at every opportunity.

it's true. but i cant help feeling sceptical that of the 6.5 billion people in the planet now, only 12,000 or 120,000 would be going to heaven... there's boutn to have been many many more real christians than that already in the past few thousand years..... man i hope i'm in that number when the saints come marching in!

was that not something to do with tribes? there wasnt just 144,000 christians in the world.. if there was then whats the point in us being christians as "theyre fully booked" shall we say!

the number of the beast has been translated as 616 and 665 too... so um yeah!

Yep it the 144,000 people in heaven thing is the number of people from the tribes and lets face it, not everyone in the world is going to have a jewish herritage - therefore there has got to be more people than that in heaven, for crying out loud 3000 were saved just after Jesus died and what about all of the reformations??

Another thing that it says in the bible is that when Jesus comes back again he will assend onto the mount of olives and it will split in 2 Archeologists have already discovered a crack in the mountain!

It also says that the people will act like they did in the times of noah, and to be honest it is getting pretty bad!

There is a bit in rev. that says that God will release 4 (I think) angels to sweek over the earth and kill off 1/3 of the earth's population.. that should bring down the numbers a bit but still nowhere near 144,000! :huh:

I think it also mentions that we shouldn't be worried by all of these strange happenings that are to come, wars (war on terror) rumours of wars (russia vs. america) etc. aren't all supposed to get us all looking for the nearest corner to hide in

Just think of it like this, whatever is said to happen will happen, we can't do anything about it, and in the end of it all, we'll be zipped off to heaven where we actually get to meet THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!
... I actually find it quite exciting to be honest :D
