Admin	How close are we to the End of the Age? Posted : 24 Nov, 2009 11:17 AM Hi Everyone, 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? ;) Blessings!

Posted : 24 Nov, 2009 07:31 PM "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, ...so will be the coming of the Son of Man." Matthew 24:38,39b I don't know, maybe for you getting married IS a sign of the END, :ROFL: j/k Seriously, I think there are signs. Like Great signs in the heavens, Luke 21:11. This astrological alignment of planets (Dec.21,2012) sounds like a big sign. If some heavenly event like say an exploding star or super nova happens millions of light years away, it could eventually show up here. At the speed of light it would appear as in a moment or the twinkling of an eye. I agree with your coment... "It's as if they know something." I believe there are things THEY are not telling us. And that is how it should be. You do let your enemies know what you are up to. America is divided as a house that cannot stand. And as things get worse the spirit of lawlessness will come upon people who would otherwise be law abiding citizens. "It's as if they know something." Government actions make no sense otherwise.

Posted : 25 Nov, 2009 01:21 PM Good post Walter~I've noticed and it seems to be the time when the love of many is growing cold~lawlessness~self love~heady~high minded~traitors~all of those and more. From what I have heard the Jews are preparing to build the temple again and certain farms are raising the special cow called for the sacrifice~the red heifer. There is a prominent slumber on our government for sure and it is a fact that we must watch and pray that we may be able to escape all of these things~Luke 21:36. I sure want to be ready for Jesus either in His coming or my going home~:applause: Post Reply

Posted : 25 Nov, 2009 02:11 PM Buried deep within the over 1,000 pages of the massive US Health Care Bill (PDF) is a �non-discussed� section titled: Subtitle C-11 Sec. 2521� National Medical Device Registry, and which states its purpose as: �The Secretary SHALL ESTABLISH a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the �registry�) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that� (A) is or has been used in or on a patient; and (B) is a class III device; or� (ii) a class II device that is implantable.� In �real world speak�, according to this report, this new law, when fully implemented, provides the framework for making the United States the first Nation in the World to require each and every one of its citizens to have implanted in them a radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip for the purpose of controlling who is, or isn�t, allowed medical care in their country. When the Secretary of Health establishes this Registry it then can later down the road make recommendations that every citizen have one implanted in them for the sole purpose of facilitaing accurate medical records in the case of emergency and other reasons. Does this sound like the "mark of the beast". This could also be used to pin point everyone's where abouts. The Obama Health care bill under Class II (Paragraph 1, Section B) specifically includes in its lists of things that must be registered in the NATIONAL MEDICAL DEVICE REGISTRY: (ii) a class II device that is implantable.� Then on page 1004 it describes what the term �data� means in paragraph 1, section B: 14 ��(B) In this paragraph, the term �data� refers to in 15formation respecting a device described in paragraph (1), 16 including claims data, patient survey data, standardized 17 analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of 18 data from disparate data environments, electronic health 19 records, and any other data deemed APPROPRIATE BY THE SECRETARY. caps are mine to show enphasis.

rickc View Profile History	How close are we to the End of the Age? Posted : 26 Nov, 2009 05:03 PM (From NIV) Matt 24:3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" The Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24 (and parallels in Mark 13 and Luke 17 and 21) was, and has been, one of the most difficult 'sections' of the Bible to interpret for me. I was raised Pentecostal, and, like the vast majority of 'born again Christians', believed in a 'pre-tribulational' rapture (and/or dispensational theology, as poplular described in the "Left Behind" books by Tim LaHaye). Quite some time ago, I became post-tribulational (on my rapture view) and amillennial in eschatology (that is, no 'longer dispensational on The End Times). Also some time ago, I was a "partial preterist" but didn't know this term! To summarize the partial preterist view (mine) --- on "What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the ages?" (asked by the disciples, Matt 24:3d) --- The Bible talks about "God coming in judgment" in various places, such as on the nation of Israel in the OT. I believe *Jesus* "came in judgment" against Israel in 70AD. That is, the Temple and Jerusalem being destroyed was the "end of the Jewish age." Another way to say this would be, "The nation of Israel as a whole rejected their Messiah, Jesus. The destruction of Jerusalem was God's judgment against them for this." HOWEVER, this "coming in judgment" was NOT the 2nd coming of Christ --- which is still future. The partial preterist view (mine) also does not believe the nation of Israel had/has any place in biblical prophecy. If this sounds bizarre, or perhaps heretical to anyone; I'll just say it's my view after believing like how virtually all born again Christians do. It took a LOT of study...and is hard to discuss in person, leave alone on a fourm (pretty complicated stuff)! Thanks! Post Reply

Posted : 27 Nov, 2009 07:40 PM Btw, a guy named Steve Gregg, from California, who calls himself a "Bible teacher" has over 900 free mp3s on eschatology ("the end times") and just about everything else. His series "When Shall These things be?" are on eschatology. I'd also highly recommend his Revelation chapter 20 talks (under "Verse by Verse Teaching"). Stve "presents all views, then his, and why" (from Scripture). His site -- http://www.thenarrowpath.com/ Post Reply
DontHitThatMark View Profile History	How close are we to the End of the Age? Posted : 27 Nov, 2009 09:36 PM Eh...at the end, stuff will actually be pretty good from a moral stand point. It's a form of Christianity that takes over, not necessarily a "evil" power...just one that disobeys God. And I'm still of the opinion that the "mark of the beast" isn't going to be something physical. God looks at the heart. If somebody forces you to have a medical device implanted in you, it doesn't mean you're suddenly lost. It's your heart. What you believe, what you do. Faith and works. What you have faith in, and how you show it. At the end...if you have faith in something besides God's truth, and if you actively work to support your erroneous faith, then you are marked. You could still be a "Christian"...you'd just be breaking the 3rd commandment...taking "Christs name" in vain. Anyway...I think there's going to be a "rebellion" against moral and political decay pretty soon...might be triggered by something obviously supernatural...might not. But I think there will be a seemingly revived "church of God". When it starts persecuting God's people? Then you'll know. When there's only 2 groups left? Go with the one that's being persecuted. That's God's remnant church. It shouldn't be too complicated, and besides...God will call His people out. Just search the scriptures and listen. If you're listening to God, instead of man or tradition...then you'll hear the call. Start stockpiling "oil" and drink some "coffee"...lazy virgins... :peace::peace: Post Reply

Posted : 27 Nov, 2009 09:57 PM And yup...the 70ad thing is exactly correct...and I'm not sure what you mean by "israel not being in prophecy". Do you mean...last day prophecies? Or any prophecy? Because they were included in the prophecies in Daniel obviously...that's where you get the 70ad thing, lol. It's not prophecy to us anymore...but it was to Daniel. :peace::peace: Post Reply
rickc View Profile History	How close are we to the End of the Age? Posted : 27 Nov, 2009 10:16 PM Partial-preterists and/or amillennialists do not believe the "re-founding" of nation of Israel in 1948 is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. In other words, after 70 AD, the nation as separate entity in itself is 'out of the picture', so to speak. Partial-preterists and/or amillennialists also believe The Church is "God's Israel" --- that the promise made to Abraham that all people in all nations of the earth would be blessed through him. That is, through his seed (Jesus)! Another way to say this would be, "Today all people are called to be God's Chosen People!" Post Reply
