I didn't see anywhere on that site to a reference of Matthew 24:33. They kept talking about verse 34.
In verse 33, Jesus is clearly talking to his disciples. Right, or not? He says, "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors."
Why would he tell the disciples that if they weren't going to see those things. Now, he was talking to the disciples, now go to verse 34 after seeing that he was talking to the disciples.
I mean, starting in verse 3, Jesus is clearly telling the disciples what to be looking for. He is talking directly to them in private. The whole end times thing is directed to them.
I didn't see anything in Matthew 24 about Russia being in power, or Rome being in power, or Israel being a nation, or anything about a 200,000 man army in the east. Why didn't Jesus mention those things?

It's quite funny to see humanity going through the same old things over the years, exactly like this thread going over information and views widely discussed and researched on ATS. There is too much overlap and duplicate topics on this site. Not that I find it bad just seems a waste of time to make new threads on subjecs well covered just because the OP feels he has another point to make or to regurgitate other peoples views.
Christians will always beleive the end times are coming because it's part of their faith to do so, however must we have a thousand and one threads on the subject?
Who knows, I always.end up Reading them though!
Welcome OP, not trying to disrespect you or your beliefs, just tired of th Same old stuff

The biggest problem with calling anything the End of Times is that it's always the End of Times. Pick a date anytime in the last 2,000 years. See what was going on in history. Chances are you'll find correlations to all the "Seven Seals," or whatever at any date.
War, famine, pestilence and death -- The Four Horsemen -- are and have always been mankind's constant companions.

i also agree with the theory that its only seemingly getting worse in the past years, because of media, and because of the internet and info from around the world being at ones fingertips within seconds pretty much..making it seem things are taking place more rapidly. I found a very interesting link earlier, hope the guy is ok with me posting it here www.abovetopsecret.com...
Its one possibility amongst many others and only time will tell how it all will turn out..
Edited for spelling
