Twelve Signs That We Are Very Near the End of the World
Twelve Signs That We Are Very Near the End of the World
1)The growth of knowledge would accelerate at the end of time.
The growth of knowledge would accelerate at the end of time (fulfilling prophecy). A well known prophecy in Daniel pertaining to the end of time is
being fulfilled in our time. (Daniel 12:4 - "Knowledge shall increase and men shall run to and fro." KJV)
2)The near saturation of the gospel to every language tribe and people
(Matt. 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
www.bibleplus.org...
You can read the rest on your own.
It seems like the prophecies are accelerating to the end.
what do you guys think of this?

OH No

The Bible was just a book. It isnt real you know.

Every generation has groups of people who are convinced the end is near. People see what they want to see, what they are hoping for. During WW2
people had a much more legitimate concern that the world was ending. Yet the world survived. Instead of focusing so much time and energy on writing
end of the world crap, we should all be working on bettering ourselves as individuals. Be the change you wish to see.

The End of the World happens everytime someone dies...its their own personal end of the world experience. Its pathetically annoying the amount of
people claiming to have "End Times" predictions and I am calling them out...

Whilst i agree we are in the "end times", it is not really an end, but a beginning, because there is no such thing as "the end".. consciousness is
eternal, and we are going to push through to a new level.. thats what this is all about.

What do I think?
Prophecy is nonsense.
Prophecies are couched in very vague terms that can be interpreted in many ways by people from many different cultures and ages. Nostradamus for
example, everyone says he's accurate -- when I read him, his quatrains are so vague as to be interpreted in dozens of different ways in the light of
current events from whatever time.
Nobody sees the future. There is guessing. There is hoping. And science has probabilities, but science at least doesn't say that a probability is
going to happen, just that there is a probability something might happen.
I don't understand the Christian need to have the end of the world come. As far as we know, and the only thing that we have actual empirical evidence
for, is that when you're dead you are DEAD. There's nothing coming after, no heavenly kingdom of childish rewards, so people need to get their heads
out of the clouds and come down to earth where the only life they are likely to get is happening here and now. Enjoy it while you have it, it goes
pretty quick.

the author missed an important tell-tale sign...
it is said the end of the age (time of tribulation) would be
....just as in the days of Noah....
now, i will really begin to worry when someone starts
constructing a massive Ark...just like Noah's singular project.
the giant Ark construction may be modeled as a Tourist attraction or a
Pilgrimage draw, who knows?? But to be exactly like the period before the
global destruction there needs to be an Ark in place at the end-time...
?agreed?

Not exactly ...
There isn't any empirical evidence that the legend of Noah was real. And there definitely isn't any proof in the fossil record that the entire earth
was flooded, just localized flooding during various events in the near-historic past, such as when the Mediterranean broke through into the Black
Sea.
But then there's the movie Evan Almighty. Is that close enough?

Sure if your talking about Nostradamus or Edgar Casey but the bibles prophecys are anything but vague. In fact the Daniel Prophecies of the
destruction of the temple were given centuries before it happened and it happened exactly as he predicted. The Bible is 100% accurate to it's
predictions. Like Bethleham,the town Yeshua was born in, notice how he didn't change the letters areound or forget some as Nostradamus was suppossed
to have done.
As to the OP, I agree that were in the begining of the end, the Bible gives absolutes that must happen before the end, as Yeshua said. When you see
the trees have fruti on them you know what season your in, so too will you know when the end is coming for the FRUIT.
Some of that stuff that MUST happen before the end hasn't happened, some of it has. For instance, The third temple has to be built, now with
that Dome of the Rock and the muslims controlling the temple mount it appears that something drastic has to happen to change that fact and give the
Jews the opportunity to build the Third temple. But on the other hand Israel was born in a day as prophesized, so some of it has started for sure. We
should know that the end is NEAR and should be prepared.
One more prophecy that was NOT vague, Daniel said it would be an amount of days til messiah is born, it was like 17000 days or something, I can look
it up later and post the prophecy exactly, but the point is that Yeshua was born EXACTLY that many days after the prophecy.
I could go on forever about the over 400 prophecies of Jesus in the OT that came true, every single one did. But you have to also take yeshua's words
about those that would be "willingly Ignorant", which means STUPID ON PURPOSE, concerning the things he said and others in the bible.

No, I don't agree. The Bible's prophecies are bunk too. All prophecy is.
There is no historical evidence for the existence of Jesus. But there were a bunch of people who had an ulterior motive in making sure that the
prophecy of Daniel appears to come true. THAT is why there are so many inconsistencies in the Bible, and why none of the gospels were written until
long after Jesus supposedly died. People made the prophecy come true by fitting events to the prophecy, just like they do today.
There is no such thing as prophecy. Never has been. I hate to say there never will be because we don't know everything there is to know yet, but I
sincerely doubt there ever will be either.

The book of Daniel in the ninth chapter:
24 Seventy weeks are determined on your people and on your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Messiah the Prince shall be
seven weeks, and three score and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured on the
desolate.
All of this came to past exactly as he said except the last verse, which is to come and some think is near...

You're wasting your time. Most people on ATS do not believe in a higher power. Faith is weakness to them. They want to live their life their own way
and then go back to the dust.
By the way the third temple has already been built.
I agree with St. Udio on the fact that these days are like the days of Noah. The cultures of Noah's day have been wiped off the map and no surviving
evidence remains, only the tales of the flood survivors. This current civization will be wiped out as well. Will there be any survivors?
The earth will reveal its inner workings. The heavens will be on fire and masses will melt together. And look the Grand Sea is no more!

I hope you don't mean by a flood, because God made a pact
with Noah to never end the world with a flood again.

Well, what about the Earth being engulfed in flames or someting from a comet/asteroid? It was said that in the near future the Earth would be hit by
an asteroid by the Bible Code thing, the Torah i think?
sorry for bringing in more phrophecies for people who dont like that! I lean towards prophecies when they at least have been right a couple of times
or there's proof behind it. The Bible Code had predicted some happenings in histroy, but no one has validated its autehnticity. (but i believe in
it)

The biblical phrase, "As in the days of Noah..." doesn't refer to raining. It refers to ignorance of the general population. "They were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage..." They were unaware, oblivious to what was coming and just going about their lives as usual even
though Noah and his family tried to warn them.
Something that most end time prophecy preachers miss is that there is an overlap of "end of this world" and ushering in of the kingdom. They will
both be happening simultaneously. The world will not literally end, explode, get wiped out, whatever. The present systems of the world, governmental
and religious will be wiped out (sands of the sea and stars of the sky) but the kingdom of Yahweh will come as a thief in the night.
According to biblical timelines, we're already about 130 years into the kingdom age. So yeah, the present evil age should be just about wrapping up.
When the Savior returns "will He find faith on the earth?" Probably most of the Christians will be dead and the world will be an extremely
unpleasant place. "Pray that you be found worthy to escape those times." Pray for the harvest. And I'm not talking about that ridiculous notion
of a rapture, either. I'm talking about gathering as many into the household of faith as possible while we're still in the age of grace.
