Welcome to Gaia! ::

And what does that mean exactly? confused

Define 'done.'

Well believe that if you want to, but not everyone will die. I believe that the disasters mean that Jesus is coming soon, like he said he would. He said that the disasters would get worse and worse and worse along with all the other things until he came.

And he doesn't mean that the world will end, the bible says that it will never end, it says that this system, the way that things are right now will come to an end.

That's true maybe, I'm sick of the greed, murder, violence, pain, and suffering in this world. However, we are called to fight it now. God wants us to reach out to others as much as possible before the Rapture, there are still those that need him, until he's ready to come, I'm going to live the best that I can for him.

Yeah, not everyone will listen, just like with Noah. But if there is even a chance that one person will listen and believe, then I'm willing to do that.

It sounds like you only argue with people who are Christian only in name. They are probably only Christians because mommy told them to be when they were young. You can't base biblical fact on there actions because there is no biblical fact supporting them.

Glad to hear the same thing I guess. ^^

What makes today's disasters different then the last? Well for one, it is happening more then in the past. We have always had wars, and rumors of war, famines, droughts, natural disasters. However, they have gotten much worse, World War 2 took us a step farther down the line, but it will get worse then that if Iran and its allies get their wishes. Now where did I say the end of the world? Now that just covers war, famines and pestilences, look at places in Africa that are really plagued with suffering, Rhonda for example. As for Natural Disasters, think of the Tsunami and all the other things that have happened in Japan lately, think about the other Tsunamis, Hurricanes, and other things of that nature that have happened in certain years. Look at the headlines around us, look at all the violence and negativity in the world, it has worsened severely over the last 40 years.

It isn't that these disasters are new things, it is just that they are happening more commonly, you realize that there are False Prophets and teachers around us? Like the prophecy of the Rapture occurring that Saturday, there have been several people stepping up in front of services and claiming to be Jesus. “But realize this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5 The people in the world have become more selfish, the morals we used to stand on, they tend to be losing relevance in society, a lot of governments have taken God out of society around us. Without things like the Ten Commandments being allowed in public, the crosses being allowed in society, and teaching that we are just highly evolved apes in school, what is to stop people from saying killing is wrong? Why because you say so? Because the law says so?

The Rapture doesn't refer to the end of the world, it refers to the coming of Jesus. When he comes, what Paul said will happen, at least I fairly certain Paul was the one saying this, "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." 1 Corinthians 15:52-54 Then there is this this, "1 Thessalonians 4:17

Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." It refers to the Rapture before the tribulation, now, let me explain why that isn't the end of the world when he comes back to set up his kingdom, I'm just saying this for clarification. It is better to call it the end of the age, not the world. We are currently in the grace period where people are coming to Jesus, it is changing to the Tribulation period eventually. Then, there is eternity, the Bible also states this, "Isaiah 45:17 - But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

Ephesians 3:21 - Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." Furthermore, in the Book of Revelation where God cleanses the world with fire, he renews it, not destroys it. Renews it from our sins that we committed, currently, we are in a fallen world, basically it means that it is the end for evil, and the restoration of how things were before Adam and Eve sinned. Jesus did say that we wouldn't know the exact day or hour, but know when it is near, even at the door. Israel's rebirth as a nation is foretold in Bible prophecy, Iran as a government along with many other Middle Eastern countries are against Israel, Iran's president's hatred towards the Jewish people is very much like Adolf Hitler's. He claims that his Muslim Messiah will not come back until they exterminate all the Jews. Fun fact: Persia was renamed by Hitler during WWII days, he renamed it Iran, it means arian, basically white supremacy. There is a bible prophecy stating that Magog and Persia would be against Israel in the last days. Magog meaning Russia in this case. Russia seems to be aligning with Iran. Look it up, the things going on around us are in the Bible. Jesus said all of these things would happen before he came back, Israel's rebirth as a nation in 1948 being a big one.
