Have you been paying attention to the "signs of the times?"
Do you see the beginning of the establishment of the "7th Kingdom" ....you know... "The New World Order?
Do you notice the urgency in which the "powers that be" are trying to shove this system and it's new laws down our throat and how our Congress and Senate are spineless to stop it despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of the citizenry are opposed to to it and it's in violation of the US Constitution? It's as if they know something and do not care what we think.
We are living in exciting times my Friends and we all need to be paying attention...very carefully.
On a secondary note....I wonder if we knew that the end was close....let's say within several years to maybe 20 at tops....I really wonder how picky some of us would be in picking a godly mate? ;)
When Jesus said: Mat 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one KNOWS, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. NKJV
The word "knows" or knoweth in the KJV is a "PRESENT TENSE" word and is not a future tense. Jesus did not say that we would never know only that at that time He was speaking to them no one knew...present tense. We know that from certain prophetic scriptures like in Daniel that when a certain event occurs we will know.
Dan 12:9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.
Dan 12:11 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Dan 12:12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Jesus gave us signs to watch for so that we would be prepared and that based upon certain events occurring we would know. Even Paul told his readers to WATCH.
1Thess 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us WATCH and be sober.
We also know that when the Sun and moon signs occur after the Tribulation Jesus will be arriving. So from that point in time we will know. Mat 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Mat 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.NKJV
Yeah I dont completley disagree with you,although,I agree things look really bad right now,I also could see how people in many ages could have said the same.....during the black plague....or hitlers time or even Nero who tortured and killed many christians.....I think we need to be careful in our predictions......though my gut does tell me it could be close!
The stage is being set for a "One World Government" and they seem to be frantically rushing towards it.
Why the rush on a health care bill that is more about taking the Liberty away from the American people and bringing us to socialism/communism?
Why sign the "Climate Control Treaty? It is about surrendering the sovereignty of the USA over to a One World Government where our own Constitution becomes null and void!
The European countries are now all under one head, one President. Ireland was the last one holding out and they signed away their sovereignty last month.
I believe we are seeing the "Seventh Kingdom" which is the 7th head of the dragon, on the road to being established. This has never occurred in history. After the 7th Kingdom is established it will fall apart quickly and then it will be revived again quickly which will be the final and 8th Kingdom headed by the Anti-Christ. This would mean that he is alive today. We just don't know who he is as yet. But when the time comes it will be obvious at least for those who are paying attention.
Yes,Im afraid it does seem like all the peices are falling into place,I really couldnt beleive that some people were actually treating Obama like "the Messiah" I tried to warn everybody I could not to vote for him.
My veiws on the endtimes are not solid yet,not sure wich camp im in,I dont know if I beleive in a pre-trib rapture or not(that would be nice)
If Im here,I will defend Christs name with my last breath,If Im not,well then Ill be with my glorious king!
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Isaiah 24:19 The earth is broken asunder, The earth is split through, The earth is shaken violently.
Isaiah 34:4 And all the host of heaven will wear away, And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; All their hosts will also wither away As a leaf withers from the vine, Or as one withers from the fig tree.

Luke 12:39 "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
2 Peter 3:12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!
Revelation 3:3 So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. (NASB �1995)
