101 Reasons we are in the End Times!

[ChristSoldier]

Psalms 90:10
10The years of our lives are 70; and if by reason of strength they be 80 years, yet most of them are labor and sorrow; for life is soon cut off and we fly away.

[Acts5:41]

That.

Also, looking at the technology we are completely SET for the mark of the beast, etc. "The whole world" can watch the death of the two witnesses, etc.

I know He's coming in m lifetime.

[TBRSoon]

HOW can you read what Jesus said in the book of Matthew and not be looking up?

[Praying]

Another thousand years? The scriptures do not lie. (Read scripture posts from other members on this site. We are approaching the 70th week. Jesus is coming soon!

I wanna go home!

[zoewmu]

I am looking for Jesus to come back soon. That said, He will come in His time, not mine. I don't have to know when that is be it tomorrow next month or a thousand years from now. I don't believe that salvation hinges on how close you think we are to the end times.

[twisty58]

I am COUNTING on Jesus coming to get us soon. If not, I'm gonna start hitchhiking!

The 70th week is the future "7 year tribulation period," which doesn't take place until the Church is removed (at the rapture), and the covenant is confirmed by the AC.
It doesn't pertain to the Church, it pertains to Israel's future (we won't be here).

Hope my previous post did not confuse anyone.

I do believe it will be soon, though.

[HeIsEnough]

I'm not certain it will be in my lifetime. I think either one is possible.

Without knowing why you believe it could be today, I suppose it could be considered long off as well, if there is no firm foundation. Or, said another way, by TBRSoon:

HOW can you read what Jesus said in the book of Matthew and not be looking up?

There is good reason to be looking up nowadays.

[Crazed for Jesus]

If technology keeps going as the way it is going we will have colonies on the Moon and Mars etc. The Bible mentions nothing about prophesy taking place on anywhere but earth. By this logic we'll see the tribulation before we see colonies on the Moon.... and they've been talking about colonies on the Moon since the 1960's

[Reason&Hope]

Let's think this through backwards.

If Jesus doesn't come for another 1000 years, what will have to happen in that time? Israel must be a nation when He returns, and continually a nation from today, since the Bible prophecies do not indicate Israel going back and forth between being a nation or not, or several diasporas.

Most nations do not last 1000 years. The Treaty of Verdun in 843 created an area similar to France today, but then it got carved up again, so you cannot say that France as a nation has existed for a 1000 years. (since 1328 perhaps) China has been around for age, but they have a very sequestered history and geography.

Israel, on the other hand, is a small country surrounded by enemies and I do not think it is possible for Israel to remain a nation for another 1000 years. 50? 100 at the most?

[LightOfMyLife]

Is it possible for me to believe that Jesus might not return for thousands of years and still be considered a Bible Believer? Or would this make me heretical?

I believe Jesus could return in our lifetime, but I also believe it is possible it may be thousands of years away. I honestly don't know. I have came to this conclusion based partly on so much failed datesetting in the 1970's and 80's that I really have no idea when Jesus will return. I well remember when many thought it would happen by 1988 because of using a forty year generation in Matthew 24:32-34 by adding 40 to 1948. Some subtracted seven years for the Rapture and came up with 1981. It wasn't just a couple prophecy teachers who came up with it.

This question has nothing to do with the failed date of two months ago, as I already knew it would not happen.

You need to look at the prophetic events taking place. Israel became a nation in 1948, right now the Palestinians want Jerusalem as their capital, and the nations are coming against Israel. These are important signs so I believe Christians will be going home soon. Some may go sooner if they were to die before the rapture.

The human race can't even survive on this planet for another 1,000 years because resources will run out to support the increasing population, long before then.

[BarbT]

As stated by many posters it's crucial to keep our eyes on God's main prophecy timepiece, Israel. He told us what conditions to look for when determining the signs of the season of His return and they are impossible to ignore.

Given the evidence God provided, it is not logical to assume the Israeli people could survive the quickly growing danger their nation faces for another 1,000 years. I'll be surprised if it's 10.

God's Last Days warning to the world reads like a gigantic neon sign in the sky for all to see. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear will take heed. He wants each of us to be ready!

...or we'll blow it up...

[grapplewithGod]

Yes it's possible.

The early church believed Christ would come in their life time and they were wrong.

You have to live like it could happen at any time, but it's not wrong to think it could happen in 1,000 years.

What if Israel dissolved as a nation, and the people were scattered for another 300 years and then they started to return and Israel became a nation again, only with the temple being built and so on.

The point is, it's possible...not likely at all...but possible.

It's not heresy to believe the Lord might tarry, it's unbiblical to not be sold out for Jesus because you think it's going to be 1000 years from now.

[turtle]

I believe the end time and the Biblical prophetic discourse has to be now in this generation.

I truly do Not see God setting the stage of the earth Like he has only to then
delay for another 1000 years.

Israel is the big factor.

Iran getting nukes ready, All Arabic Middle eastern states uniting together against Zion (Israel's rebirth), Jordan about to become Palestine, governments merging together under a one world mentality, society living as the days of Noah begging for an Antichrist messiah, no way can this drag out more than a few months to a couple of years, definitely not a hundred more years, the pressure is on and the cork is about to pop.

We are still within God's 7,000 year model

Agreed. All the pieces have been orchestrated the world over for the beginning of the last act of history as we know it. How exciting that He gave us foreknowledge of these great and terrible things!

I think one of the bigger ones is that the whole world's pressure is on Israel, and that Jerusalem is now a stumbling block to the whole world. George Soros even wrote in an article this year, "The main stumbling block is Jerusalem." How curious he would use that term. Also, 'peace and security' seems to be the MOTTO of this ordeal. "When they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape." There doesn't have to be peace and security, it only has to be SAID. And it doesn't take much perusing to find that term these days.

I knew something was afoot when Obama promised a new era of 'peace and security' at his inauguration speech in 2008.

If the world is the way it is now I sure would hate to see it in 1000 years
