Does REVELATION say we're all gonna die or something? I can't find anything about it.

Gee let me guess...because the date is 6/6/06?\n\nWhatever. No one except God knows when the world will end. It could be that day or any other day.\n\nThe Bible does say it will happen, but it also says "It will come like a thief in the night," and "no one knows the day or the hour." God purposely did not tell us the exact date or time becuase it's not for us to know when. He wants us to be ready for it all of the time.

First we are not in the tribulation period and Matthew 24 doesnt have anything to do with us [as it is about the trib. period], but other then that here is a good prophecy link on some fullfillments and other future things to come:\n\nprophecy: http://www.livingwaters.com/Merchant2/graphics/tracts/prophecy/index.html \nthe gospel: http://www.needGod.com do you know what it is? think again. it might surprise you.

Things are getting really f***ed up.  I mean, I'm not sure if I'm just paying attention more now than when I was a kid, but it seems like the world has gone completely mad in the last ten years.  I think either Christ will come again or humans will destroy each other.  Either way, the world is definately ending sooner than later.

Armageddon is prophesied and it will be a world war.\n\nI'm not worried about the outcome 'cause I read the book.  :o)\n\nSue

Now, just why are you so concerned about what God might, or might not do in the future? Did not Jesus say to stop worrying and to seek first the kingdom and God's righteousness? "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." \n\nIs it necessary for you to know how John's prophecies will work out, or when? Why is the outcome for other people filling your mind when the big issue is, "Can I glorify God today?" If you spend each day considering how to honour and praise God, he will take care of your future. \n\nThe book of Revelation is all about The Big Picture - what's going on back-stage, behind the scenes of this troubled earth. When we're taking part in life we see and understand little, and with frightening speed, it's time for us to leave the stage of earthly life. Revelation comforts believers as they have their eyes lifted up and away, to see how God defeats the powers of darkness. That's his job. Make the most of each day and trust in God for the future. Now, why don't you turn to Matthew chapter 5 and get your feet back on terra firma?

no body will know until after the Rapture (and us Christians won't have to worry about the Antichrist because we won't be here:-)\n\nGod Bless You

There are many questions that cannot be answered, yours are among them.  The end of the world is impossible to predict, and what will end it cannot be known.  I don't see anything happening too soon, so I woudn't worry about it if I were you.  The Sun won't explode, yet there will come a time -- so far into the future that neither you or I will have to worry about it -- that it will burn out.  God is merciful.  As long as there are a few of us who believe in God, He won't wipe us out.  I believe that God just let us on our own, to see how we handle his gift of the universe.

RAPTURE\n\nRev.10:6 And sware by Him that liveth for ever and ever, Who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: \nTIME NO LONGER\nRev.10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the prophets. \nSEVENTH ANGEL WHEN HE BEGINS TO SOUND\n\nI Cor.15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. \nFLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM\nI Cor.15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, \nALL BE CHANGED, NOT JUST THE CHURCH\nI Cor.15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. \nAT THE LAST TRUMP, SEVENTH\n\nI Thes.4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: \nTHE TRUMP OF GOD, SEVENTH\nI Thes.4:17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. \nTHE CLOUDS\nThe word “the” is not in the Greek manuscripts. Clouds is used by Paul for a throng.\nHeb.12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, \nTHE AIR\nThe word “air” Greek (aer) means “to breathe, respire”, NOT SKY. In other words the breath of life or spirit. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.\n\nII Thes.2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him, \nOUR GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM\nII Thes.2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. \nNOR BY LETTER AS FROM US, FIRST THESSALONIANS\nII Thes.2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; \nLET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU BY ANY MEANS\nThe sequence of events is Satan first, then the Lord’s day.\n\nRev 11:3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. \nRev 11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. \nTWO CANDLESTICKS\n\nRev 1:20  The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. \nCANDLESTICKS ARE CHURCHES\n\nYet there are men that teach the church is raptured. Men that teach that flesh and blood is taken and others left behind. It’s nonsense when you study His Word.

This is not a prophecy for one, matts got that right.  And God never told Joseph he would live to be 85, He said, if thou.  In v16, this leads me to believe that the Lord is telling Joseph not to be concerned with such things, that he will see Christ regardless of when the second coming is.\n\nI am wondering if these are even your own thoughts, because this stuff looks like it came from www.exmormon.org.  Do you know anything about these people who write this stuff?  For all you know they are apostates that have been excommunicated for being an adulterer and become imbittered over it, or something else, and instead of repenting and working to be reinstated into the church, they live their life trying to justify their actions by claiming the church isn't true.  It is all biased.  It is worse than mainstream news.  How can you actually read this stuff and feel fulfilled?  What happened with you Brandon, that you feel you have to destroy the faith of others?  Isn't the faith you have good enough; you have to try to discredit others faith for what?  To strengthen yours?  That is not how to develop faith.  If you were content with your beliefs that would be enough for you.  What is this enfatuation with the LDS church?  It sounds like you might read this anti-mormon trash more than you study to develop your personal beliefs, I hope I am wrong, but is that what God wants?

Look carefully at what Paul is telling Timothy in this passage.  He is NOT talking about something that will happen "some day in the future", but about what Timothy himself is coming up against!   In other words, what Timothy is having to deal with is something he ought to EXPECT, because 'that sort of thing is going to go on' in the last days (in which Paul & Timothy already lived).\n\nThe same sort of thing is found in 2 Peter 3, where Peter reminds his readers "scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires"(v.3)  Again, he talking about the very issues they are dealing with --false prophets and skeptics questioning whether God will indeed come and judge the world.\n\nAlong the same lines, Jesus speaks of troubles and persecution to come, in a passage frequently appealed to as a portrait of "the last days".   But note that he is telling his disiples in his own time what THEY too will experience (not just some distant future generation)\n\nMark 13:7-9  "And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.   But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them."\n-------------\nIn other words, the early church was already in "the last days".   WHY?  Because had come and changed everything.\n\nThat's why, as elsydon noted, Hebrews 1 states:\n"in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things"\n\nIn fact, Jesus resurrection and exaltation to God's right hand had inaugurated the "last days" the prophets had promised.   \n\nPeter confirms this in his Pentecost sermon:\n\nAct 2:15-17  For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. \n But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: \n"'And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh"\n\nHe goes on to explain HOW this "last days" promise was being fulfilled before their very eyes:\n\nvv.32-33  This Jesus God raised up. . .  having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.\n\nOnce again, it begins with Jesus being raised to God's right hand.  THAT, and not soem special set of troubles, is the key to "the last days" when GOD carries out his ancient promises.

Don't worry when the world will end. Everybody's own world ends when they die. They have been saying this for a long time...that it's really coming soon. But did it ever end? Not yet. So it's quite a waste of time being scared about it. You'll probably die ahead of the end of the world.

Many of the bible prophecies have already come to pass including the return of the Jews to Israel. Everything needed for the mark of the beast is in place and we are seeing increased weather conditions and earthquakes all of which are also in the bible. I truly believe we are in the last days. To read it for yourself, turn to revelations and Daniel. God does not tell us the exact time but gives us many of the end time signs.

You're probably right. Jesus said these thing would happen. Don't think it's right to speculate on when the end will come, after all, there are countries in the world where churches are burned down and Christians are killed for their beliefs, and these things have always happened. It's always felt like the end times to someone somewhere. As the Day approaches, satan knows he is running out of time so he steps up the pace. But read the end of the book, WE WIN! Keep the faith. Pray for your church.

Revelation is inspired of God. Who would dare change a word of what God himself has spoken and transmitted through the one who is now the reigning King, Jesus Christ? Certainly, such a person would deserve to lose out in the quest for life and suffer the plagues that must come upon Babylon the Great which is false religion and upon the whole world.

I can't answer your question...However, I do feel sorry over the fact that you've had so many 'sarcastic' responses.\n\nI believe in time, the 'mystery' behind the Book of Revelations and the various symbolism,etc. will be revealed. God has not, however - given me insight into what this verse "EXACTLY" means...but like others, I have my suspicians.\n\nGood luck in finding a complete explanation on here.

rapture is a big hope for every christian, but there are people who think it won't be there. I had issues with people who thought otherwise. But when I come to think more of it. They are ready to go through more suffering for the cause of christ and even die for his sakes and they only consider it a great thing to die for the Lord. And as I read yesterday from Spurgeon. He said that if we have a difference with someone or another sect we should both place our beliefs on the altar and see which one God approves. Unless each party is ready to submit their thoughts and knowledge to God and ready for some amount of humbling the truth can't be easily spread!
