Topic: Where do you want to be? | |
---|---|
I see a lot of communication about the prophesied end of times.
So.... What do you think 'end times' means. The complete and utter destruction of all we know? Or simply a drastic change in the way we handle our dominion on this planet (and possibly beyond)? Or do you think it means something else(please share that I may grow) Do you want to be of the 'meek' that shall inherit the new earth. Or with the 'chosen' that go to the new heaven. Or do you have a different view on this also. (again help me grow) |

I think the end times can be changed, it is the fall of mankind at
mankinds own hands, we are destroying the earth, the natural resources and not doing much to replenish them.I think it will be a great change of all we know, but there will be some who can and will bring about a greater change, sort of going back to the way things were, more in tune with the earth and humanity.Not sure about the beyond part AB haven't really thought about it yet. Will I be one of the meek or in the great heavens..this too I am unsure of, I think in my meager understandings of things, that some will be chosen for lack of a better word to stay here and bring about the changes that are needed.As far as the heaven thing well you know how I feel about that and what my thinking of it is. |

I don’t believe in prophecy. As far as I’m concerned it’s
nothing more than mythology. As a species we are extremely young. Barely toddlers. It took 4.5 billion years for us to evolve. As a species we are only about 125,000 years old. Barely a quarter of a millions years old. We have only become technological about 200 years ago, and the technology that we are so used to using today hasn’t even been around that long. The transistor was invented the year I was born! That was only 1949. So all modern technology that we use today isn't any older than me! End times? What a JOKE! We’re just starting out folks. Fasten your seat beats! We’re about to outgrow mythology and superstition! Just give us a couple more thousands years. That’s not even the blink of an eye geologically speaking. We’re basically still living in the dark ages and just don’t realize it. But we'll grow out of it eventually. |

It is actually end of this age. End times has a bad smell to it you
might say. The earth will still be here forever. Even after the 1000 year regien.Most of the worlds population will have died and the ones left are to rebuild the waste places. Sin will still be here but not like it is now. As many priests will be on the earth to carry out Yahweh's Rightous law. It is possible to change the prophesy but i do not believe the earths evil nature will allow it. Blessings .. Miles |

The earths evil nature?
Miles nothing happens without the approval of the creator. |
|
|

Yahweh allows us to either follow satan or him. Satan is the mighty one
of this world who even now works evil. Evil is not donee by Yahweh. Look at Job did Yahweh cause Jobs children to be killed or Jobs boils? Miles |
|
|
|
No YHWH did not cause Jobs misfortunes. He did however ALLOW the evil
to occur. That which men have labled satan can do nothing without the approval of God. |

If you are sincerely asking the question then I would recommend a book
on the four views of the millenium by Clouse. You can find it at amazon or anywhere else. It is a good place to start. It shows the Hermanuetics of how the four major interpretations of scripture are arrived at. Hermaneutics takes into account the use of symbolic, narrative, and other forms of communication when interpretting the scripture. You seem to be quite taken by prophetic material. I am not real concerned with how the world will end. I am more concerned about knowing that everyone must die and give an account for every deed, thought, and word spoken while they lived here on this earth. The Lord is coming for everyone in an individual sense. I do believe the scriptures. And I don't have a totally blind faith in them. |

Hey Puritan, looks like you have my dog there.
I always think it is interesting when people presume to know the name of God. Oh yeah, what is this thread about, the end of time. I gotta say that could be a long time away. Mankind could spread blissfully through the universe and learn to get along with one another and stop fighting over the dreams and ramblings of old men from centuries back in history. |
