DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF ALPHA/OMEGA. OKAY.\nYou already know the answer to this question.

I believe it proves we are in "The Last Days." Rev 9:20 & 21 says, The people after these judgments repented not of their MURDERS, THEFTS, SORCERIES & FORNICATIONS. Here we have listed the 4 main crimes of the Last Days. People kill each other just to be "IN." People from all walks of life steal what ever they think they can get away with. Sorceries in the Greek is, "Pharmacia" Drug use is rampant today. Finally, FORNICATION, THIS IS ALL MANNER OF SEXUAL SIN & MISCONDUCT. Any sex, outside of Marriage, comes under this heading. We most certainly are in The Last Days.

I don't know and i don't think anyone living knows for sure. What i do know is that, we will know when the end is approaching just like Jesus said, he said when we see fruits on a tree, then we know summer approaches, so will the end be too. All the wars and all the deception being spread around are things Jesus pointed out will be happening when the end comes.

I know I am certainly looking forward to the time when this is fulfilled 100% earthwide.\n\nOf course I am enjoying this condition now in the Spiritual paradise God's people enjoy today, just as prophesied to occur IN THE FINAL PART OF THE DAYS mention in the first couple of verses of that chapter.\n\n"And it must occur in the final part of the days that the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it peoples must stream. And many nations will certainly go and say: “Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem." - Micah 4:1, 2; Isaiah 2:2, 3.

Yes and the time is growing near....not by our timezone, but near nevertheless.  The 2nd Coming of Jesus will be Judgement Day and He will judge us then and there.  No time to make amends at that time....so it is always good to be ready now as we don't know when He will return.  He will return after this World of ours continues on the destructive course we are on and totally destroys itself.  The Bible and all of the Prophets have predicted exactly what is happening in our world right now.  Starting with immorality, the present Government situation with Bush as our leader, the Middle East, more and more natural disasters (Hurricanes, Tsunamis, deadly mudslides, etc.)  I wish the world would wake up and see what we are doing to ourselves.  I fear for the people who are in charge of the countries and where their destiny lies!

Yes, I believe that He is coming very soon.  People who have spent their whole lives studying end time events, the rapture of the church, etc., have recently stated that there are no more prophecies left to fulfill.  Jesus could come back anytime.  The Bible says that God is waiting for the precious fruit of the earth.  There are just to many unsaved people on the planet.  I personally believe that we are on the verge of a world wide revival that will see many people come to the Lord in a very short period of time, then Jesus will come back.

Only the Father knows the day and the hour. \nBut Jesus left us some clues for the last days. There are many, many more like us that are preparing for Christ's return. Many are called, few are chosen.

We are in the end of the times, and all we are waiting for now is the last person to be born again by God's Spirit through repentance and faith in Christ (trusting in him to save them as they would in a parachute they have put on to save them from the jump that is to come). \n\nOnce the last person is saved then Jesus will return and all believers will be raptured to heaven and the Tribulation period will come upon all who were left behind on earth. God's wrath will begin and the entire tribulation period will be 7 years before he returns with all the Christians from heaven and the angels to reign on earth for 1000 years. This is called the Millenial Kingdom. A\n\nt the end of the world there will be two judgments on one Judgment Day. At the Bema (reward) seat of Christ (the saved)believers will receive rewards and crowns for being obedient servants, the rest of the people who were placed in Hell until this Day or were alive up to this point will be brought before God on this Judgement Day and they will be judged by God according to the 10 commandments and see if they have broken his Law. Those who are guilty (all of those unsaved people there on Judgement Day)will be found guilty and tossed into the Lake of Fire and will be tormented and alone in darkness for all eternity. Never to escape or be saved from it.

Act 2:16  But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; \nAct 2:17  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:\n\nJeol said this in OT speaking of the last days. This was about the day of Pentecost which did happen. \nWe can't be in a time after the last days, therefore we are in the last days\n\nI believe the last days started on the day Jesus died \nAct 1:9  And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.\nNothing proves the last days started on the day of Pentacost but was foretold it would happen during those days which were not long after Jesus died \nActs refers to those times

I believe we are in the end times and that the tribulation is near, but I can't agree with you on 2018. We don't know when it will be and date setting is a good way to be wrong.

To me, the current date has no bearing on anything. I do follow prophecy and know the number of the beast. Fortunately for Christians, we will not be here when those who wish to be out in society will have to have the mark so my only concern is for any of my family that continues to reject Christ and will still be here when these things come to pass.

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.

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?

According to the Bible, no one knows the day or hour of the end of times.  There are too many things that have to take place before the end comes.  At some point, we may be able to predict it, but God's timetable is His and He will do it in His time, when it is the most appropriate.  Anyone who tries to tell you when the end of times will come, will be proven wrong.   There have been many churches, like the Jehovah Witnesses, who have predicted it over and over and were all wrong.  People have been predicting it since the Apostles were around and we are still here.

No, don't think so.\n\nJtuckerndfw, you really need to read the entire scripture, not just one sentence.  As you can see, when a generation sees all of these things come to pass, that will be the generation of the tribulation.  Can't take one sentence out of scripture, you really do need the entire scripture or you'll end up like so many, taking one thing out of context and changing the whole meaning.\n\nMatthew 24:\n 15"So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,'[b] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 22If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time. \n\n 26"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. \n\n 29"Immediately after the distress of those days \n   " 'the sun will be darkened, \n      and the moon will not give its light; \n   the stars will fall from the sky, \n      and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'[c] \n\n 30"At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. \n\n 32"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[d]is near, right at the door. 34I tell you the truth, this generation[e] will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Based on the Scriptures below, I believe that the church of God (1 Cor.10:32 below - the saints of the most High, Dan.7:25 below), will face the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13.\n\nThe "tribulation" will occur between the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17) and the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17)..\n\nThe Seventh Trumpet (which many refer to as "the Rapture") will occur at the conclusion of the “tribulation”.\n\n\n1 Cor.10:32Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:\n\nMatt.24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.\n\nDan. 7:21I beheld, and the same (little) horn (king) MADE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and prevailed against them (Dan.7:25 below);  \n\nDan.7:25And he (the little horn/king - Dan.7:8, Dan.7:24) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High (Re.15:3), and think to change times and laws (Re.13:15, Dan.11:31): and they (the saints) shall be given into his hand until A TIME and TIMES and THE DIVIDING OF TIME (3 ½ years/1260 days) .\n \nDan.8:24And his (the king's - Dan.8:23, little horn's - Dan.8:9, Dan.7:24) power shall be mighty, but not by his own power (but Satan’s - Re.13:11-12): and he shall destroy wonderfully (Re.13:15), and shall prosper, and practice, and SHALL DESTROY THE MIGHTY AND THE HOLY PEOPLE (Dan.12:7 below, Col.1:22, Eph.1:4). \n\nRe.12:17And the DRAGON (Re.12:9, Re.20:2)  was wroth with the woman (the church of God - 1 Cor.10:32, Col.1:22, Col.1:24), and WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH THE REMNANT (the rest) OF HER SEED, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. \n \nRe.13:7And it was given unto him (the beast of Re. 13:1) TO MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, AND TO OVERCOME THEM: and (Satanic) power was given him (Re.13:2) over ALL kindreds, and tongues, and nations (Dan.7:23, Re.17:15).\n\nRe.13:15 And he (another beast coming up out of the earth, Re.13:11) had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as WOULD NOT WORSHIP the IMAGE of the beast SHOULD BE KILLED .\n \nRe.16:6For they (those who had the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped his image) have shed the blood of SAINTS and PROPHETS, and thou hast given them blood to drink (Re.16:4); for they are worthy.  (of this punishment)\n\nRe.17:6And I saw the woman (that great city Babylon - Re.17:5) drunken with the blood of the SAINTS (Dan.7:21, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.11:7), and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus (Re.18:24): and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. \n\nDan.12:6-7And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the END of these wonders?\n\nAnd I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for A TIME, TIMES, AND AN HALF (3 ½ years or 1260 days); and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people (Dan.8:24, Re.11:3, Re.11:7), all these things shall be FINISHED (Re.10:7).\n\n\n\nPat  (ndbpsa ©)

There are many different opinions about what constitutes "signs of His coming" and if we are living in the "last days".\n\nBut Jesus said repeatedly, " Watch and pray, for you know not the day or the hour."  That is the position every believer should assume - we should live each day in an  attitude of prayer, of love, of diligence, of faith, of forgiveness - because today might be the day!!! Forget about reading today's newspaper headlines and trying to match them up with verses from  Revelation or Matthew 24 or Daniel.... That is foolishness and leads one into much error. \n\nHe is coming!!!\n\nAnd we will be changed in the "twinkling of an eye!"
