The "antichrist" was the Divine Emperors of the pagan Roman Empire. All of the biblical prophecies were fullfilled about 2 thousand years ago  Jesus said himself "Verily, I say unto you, This generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled" Matthew 24:34 Did you read the rest of the chapter or just the one verse. He is describing the end times. The way i read it all the things he is describing will take place in one generation. In other words once it starts that generation will not pass away. Does anyone else think this? |

In other words once it starts that generation will not pass away. Does anyone else think this? In that, we read of the only parable, we must learn what that word means if we want to be able to dig deeper, the only parable where there is an instruction to 'learn' it. So when we see the fig tree, Israel, coming back into view (He both scatters and gathers), The Lord's view, we can dig back and see what kind of figs there are. And we find both good and bad figs. And this has to do, also, with Israel becoming a nation again in one day. That happened only one time since they were set aside at the end of Acts, 1958. Isa 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Perhaps the question might now be, how long is a Biblical generation? |

Wouldn't it be cool if God chose you to help defeat the antichrist with Jesus, kind of like an epic troy battle =o That would be cool. Actually, that will be the job of the overcoming saints with Christ at the consummation of this Age of Grace. |

Perhaps the question might now be, how long is a Biblical generation? wasn't it 1948 they became a nation again? As for the biblical generation question you can refer to Psalm 90:10 " We live for seventy years or so (with luck we might make it to eighty)" This is from the message version. so if Israel became a nation in 1948 end of the generation would be 2008-2018. but if it was 1958 than it would be 2018-2028. But remember what the verse says is that generation will not die off until these things have come to pass. and for a generation to be alive just one person has to be living. with advances in health care it is possible to not take place until 2050 or so. like Christ said no one knows the day or hour. but when you see these things be ready. so stop worrying when it will come and be ready. |

how come, instead of seeing a conversation on the antichrist, non believers come here to bash the religion and that's all I see? Because this thread was originally posted in the wrong forum. However, there should be no debating here in the Christian forum. Agreed. The thread originator should have considered his statements were "preaching to the choir", so to speak. |

Does anyone else think this? The question posed to Jesus by the disciples, in Matthew 24, was actually in 2 parts & so was his answer. Jesus was referring both to the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Romans in 70A.D. & also what we refer to as the end times. So that generation did not pass away before the fall of Jerusalem & experienced many of the horrors described by Jesus. Of course as with many biblical texts, there are many parallels between Jerusalem's destruction & the end times that can be applied to either & I think the destruction of Jerusalem is symbolic or precursor of the destruction yet to come. |

My favorite book of the Bible is Revelations. I believe the end times are starting to be revealed. Look at the poverty, the storms, the diseases, the wars, the state of the country as a whole, even the countrie's financial crises is predicted, the high cost of living, the floods, the rise in crime, the changes in the seasons, even our political situation.. All is foreseen as marked as the beginning of the end.. I believe and will ever believe and I am praying that all find Christ before the great tribulation (although that, too is predicted).. Look at the the problem with Israel? Doesnt it make you wonder??

Perhaps the question might now be, how long is a Biblical generation? The scriptures does not leave us blind on a generation of our time.. Many for years claimed 40 years was a generation because of that generation died off before they entered the promice land. Ministers have interpreted this to be when the bible tells us how long we live on this earth. Moses who never reached the promice land was part of that generation that died off and he was 120 years old .apperently. Yet Moses left a writing that says what a generation is. Ps. 90 says it is the same as we would say it is today if one would ask us what is a generation in these times..Shalom...Miles |
