Do you think we are at the END TIMES and does 2 Thessalonians have any relevance in today's world?

Yes, we are definitely in the last days and 2 Thessalonians is relevant for what's going on today. God has given even the elect over to reprobate mind just like the unbelievers. False prophets will rise and deceive those who are of God. We must have the spirit of discernment to expose evil works of Satan. I pray that we will be ready when Jesus comes and become watchmen.\n\nShalom

Yes, the "end times" are a fact of scripture.  They are upon us. \n\nChrist will return to earth for His people (believers) and restore peace and hope to the world.  Many will be destroyed by the plagues of God first, however.  Christ will establish peace and order on earth based on God's laws.\n\nAfter the 1000 year reign of Christ is completed, the resurrection of the rest of the dead will take place.  Billions of people will come back to life for an opportunity of salvation.  This is called the Great White Throne judgment period.  At the end of this period, God's enemies will be destroyed.  Death and the grave will be destroyed also.  There will be no more death ever, God promises.\n\nThose who believed God and turn to Him through faith believing also in His Son, Jesus Christ will be given eternal life.  These will live forever.\n\n"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."  John 3:16\n\nThe offer is for everyone who will believe.

That's funny, Paul, yeah that Paul in the Bible, thought he would live to see the end times, and if he can be wrong about it, I most certainly think you are. Every generation thinks theirs is the end times. Things were so bad in 1000 AD, the Church was corrupt, the Pope was under seige in Rome, the average life span was like 35 years, there were comets and other astral events or "signs".etc., actually today we have it pretty good. Sorry, to throw water on your pity party!That's not sprinkled water either, but full immersion. Grow up and stop being so narcissistic. Every generation thinks they are the worst,and the end of days is near. You know what, we're just another generation getting our 70+ years, but look on the bright side, 70+ is a lot better than 35 a thousand years ago!

Jesus is not walking around today, He has not returned for his people.  If he were we would not be here on earth today.  As for the Anti-christ, who knows, they could be.  I agree that Jesus is disappointed with our world today, but as the end times come closer than things will get worse.

This is just my personal opinon so you might not think it is a good answer..but..I think that God is with us but if you are talking about Jesus then I would say that he will come back at the end of time...no one knows when he will come back except him.

Well, there's a good bit of evidence for the concept.  I'm wondering which particular "second great transformation" you had in mind?  \n\nOne thing that obviously occurs to those of use who live under the modern calendar is that the number 2,000 is being measured from the birth Christ, at least in symbolism, if not in astronomical precision.  And the last great age was the Age of Pisces; this one is called Aquarius.  (Remember the premature song?)  So arguably, the time is up for the dominance of the Christian church.  \n\nThen again, one could argue that it's time for the Rapture.  If you believe that sort of thing, it would be tempting to figure it that way.

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.

No, I don't.  I believe that the book of Revelations was written about politics and events that were current nearly 2,000 years ago and has no relevance today.  I know that various preachers have been predicting the "End Times" for several hundred years and they've all been wrong.\n\nI see reliance on the concept of a "Judgement Day" as a tool for manipulating the masses and a serious cop out (i.e. "The world's a mess but have no fear, Jesus is gonna' come sort the whole nasty business out for us, so just pay your tithe and smile!")\n\nI have yet to see anything positive come out of a belief in Armageddon, just a lot of apathy, war and avoidance of important issues.  So all in all, I think we're better off forgetting about it and working for a better tommorow.

Perhaps not for quite the same reasons that you do, but yes, I do think we are living in the last days of this system of things. You are correct...there are a great many Bible prophesies coming true as we speak.

Jesus could come back at any moment now.  Are you ready?\n\n\nhttp://www.biblebelievers.com/SimpleSalvation.html

Biblical end times.......it has all been prophesied

Yes, it does seem like the end of days doesn't it? Well, people were saying that after the atomic bomb was dropped. There's even a History Channel show about this. No, I personally don't think it is, though the cruelty of humanity seems to know no bounds. \n\nBut if it's the Bible you're worried about, here's something to think on: most religons have an apcolypse story it's in Norse mythology among many others. And actually there's a lot of great Sci-fi books on there with that theory too. But we're still here. The end will come when it does, either with a bang or with a whisper. I say we shouldn't worry about the end, just live for now. JKL, Just Keep Livin'.

I am not sure where you got those figures but they are not correct. We do not have the exact time fram from Adam out. The earth is approximately 6000 years old. The only thing we know for sure is that Jesus was born in 1ad and was crucified and resurrected in 32ad. So right now we are 1974 from when Jesus died and rose again. There so there is around 4000 years prior to Jesus coming. The prophecy in Daniel 9 refers to the coming of the Messiah. The prophecy begins with the command to rebuild Jerusalem which came in Nehemiah 1 on our Calendar March 14th 445bc. It goes forward 473 years to April 6 32ad when Jesus presented Himself as Messiah to the Jews on what we now call palm Sunday. We do not know when satan will be bound in the pit but it will not come until the end of the tribulation (the 70th week of Daniel). We do not know when the tribulation will begin. So again those numbers you have are way off base and mean absolutely nothing in reality because we do not know the exact amount of time that passed from creation to Jesus. Keep your eyes on what is clearly revelaed in Scripture and don't worry about extrabiblical ideas.

The Evangelist Preached on This Last Night during our Revival. I can see it happening in our life time. More and more situations in the Middle East point to God's soon intervention is Israel. Thy are surrounded, and threatened. When all out war breaks out, and Iran,Russia,Syria, and several African Countries are involved...LOOK UP ! YOUR REDEMPTION IS DRAWING NIGH !\nMARANATHA ! LORD JESUS ! MARANATHA !

yes, I have heard of these predictions, but no, I do not believe the world will end then. \n\nPeople have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning of time or at least the beginning of Christianity. The bible does not predict the end as far as the actual date, but the New Testament writers believed it would happen in their day or very soon.\n\nEven John opened the book of Revelation with the remark that these things must soon come to pass. \n\nI am only 54 and in my short life I have seen the end of the world dates come and go 4 times just off the top of my head and more that I would have to think about. \n\nBack in 1991 with the first Iraq war people used Nostradamus predictions to claim that 1991 was the year would end. \n\nthose predictions are so vague that anyone can interpret them in any way. \nas far as the Mayans, some believe they meant the end of the world in 2012 while others believe that it predicts a great change similar to that which destroyed the dinosaurs. There again it is dependent on interpretation.

All things are in place for the 100% fullfillment of end time prophecy according to The Word of God, The Bible.  Before The Gog Magog War mentioned in Ezek 38 & 39, I believe that there will be a mid east war (Amos 1 & Isaiah 17) that will change the demagraphics of the middle east very quickly.  The likely soon confrontation with Iran; could very well be that spark which allows the roman anti-christ to rise up suddenly and confirm a 7 year peace treaty with Israel.  ... and there is one who has authored a 7 year peace treaty, and is about to confirm it by Jan. 1st at the latest!  He has come into power by Recommendation 666.  For more info, see my sources below.... those who do not know Jesus Christ as your Savior, accept Him into your life, right now, and don't delay!  He loves you!

Jesus is here, in each believer. Stop worrying about the end and focus on the "now." Be like that good servant who when the master came home from years of being away, he found his servant working not worrying about the masters coming.
