i apologize for taking ahwile to do this but i haven't been feeling well. before i go on i must establish a foundation.if something is true, then there is only one way of thinking, one path to get to the truth. you cannot have differing opinions and expect to wind up at the same destination. all roads do not lead to the same place. and this thinking can help us if we are to find the truth, especially as it applies to god, and if there is a god to be able to know his plan. now if you are unwilling or not interested in knowing who god is and what his plan might be, then i can respect that and i have nothing else to discuss with you (anyone that is not interested).the key is after being presented with the truth what you do with it. many people write off the validity of the bible with 1,000 "s of excuses because they realize in the back of there mind that if it is true then they will have to adjust thier lives to it and they don't want to do that. little do they realize that they are still subject to god's laws and will one day be judged by them. better to be on the "right team" now instead of later. i don't know if any of you reading this post has read any of my other post's but i have gone into great length about why the bible is trust worthy and is the very word's of god to man. to save space i will re-hash why the bible is trust worthy because it will take up alot of space. if you ask' i will do it again i another post. and so i am establishing to you that i am going to tell you what god (from his word) has to say about our current world circumstances, and how this
mess" is going to turn out. it will be "his opinion" ,not mine. and the other thing that i must establish is that many people claim to know the way, or truth's about god. but there is only one path.god has made a way for each one of us to know for certainty exactly what that path is. you don't have to take my word for it or anybody elses. you can go DIRECTLY to god right now and ask him yourself. you do not have to wait untill you die to find out if you were right or you were wrong.ok. here is the score. the prophecies of the bible have foretold for centuries how mankind will play out. the bible has NEVER failed to be accurate in it's details of what and how it will play out. some people have gotten "excited" shall we say when certain things have happened and they "thought" based on current world events at the time that the end was near. i can remember back in 1976 or so (not exactly sure)when i was a new christian and our pastor had summoned us to church for a special prayer meeting because there was something going on in the middle east, especially israel. now israel plays the most signicant role "towards" the end. but my pastor thought that because of the situation with israel was happening that jesus was coming back as he said he was going to. now my pastor wasn't jumping the gun so much as he was preparing his church if that was what was going to come (christ's return). that was 1976. it is no different today,people are saying "is it the end"? well i should say that there have been thing's that have happened (fulfilled prophecy) that could point in the direction of it being very close. but the truth is that no body knows. jesus said : "no man knows the day or the hour that the son of man (jesus) will appear". god has not and will not tell any man when he is coming back. if anyone that you know or hear of says that they know, they are lying and are under some heavy medication (lol). but, god has given us "signs" (biblical prophecy) to let us know when the time was near. given the current world events and the potential that it has for going to the level that it is supposed to go just before christ returns, i'd say (but this MY OPIONION)that we are close. i can remember back in 1976 some of those "signs" that needed to happen before christ could return and at that time it was impossible. back up in history even further and some of the things that had to happen were even more impossible. alot of the fulfilled prophecy has simply having to do with certain scenarios and timing and even technology to be available to us before it could happen. like for instance the mark of the beast (666) having to be received by eveyone in there hand or forehead before they can buy/sell anything.at that time the anti-christ will have gained rule (thru deception) and he will be able to control the world's commerce by his rule. he will demand and everyone will comply or be killed, that you must have his mark. the technology alone to accomplish that was un available to us not too long ago. it is now!! you need only to look no further than your supermarket scanner. people are experimenting now with imbedding computer chips under our skin for i.d. purposes. the technology is here, it is a piece of the puzzle that is now in plce. there neede to be a one world govt, and a one world currency. we took a step closer with the euro dollar. but the yechnology for that is here and could happen quickly. the bible says that the "two witnesses" who will be killed and will lie in the streets for three days and then resuurected by god FOR THE WHOLE "WORLD" TO SEE, that technology is here (satellite television). so there are many things that are in place that could signal at minimum, that christ's return is soon. some things that are going to happen prior to christs return (which precedes the un-veiling of the anti-christ)are a global un-rest such as the history of our world has never even come close to before. and it will all center around israel. the jewish nation has always been protected by god and no one will ever destroy her except for god himself when he destroys all the earth and creates a new heaven and a new earth. the mix for global un-rest especially with israel being the center of attention is very possible. but we will have to wait and see. they will never be peace in the middle east until the anti-christ comes on the scene. he will be the only one who will be able to bring peace to a world where there is un-precedented chaos. that is how he will rise to power. he will pass himself off at first as a "peacemaker" and because he will accomplish the implied impossible, many people will "wander" (follow) him. he will be able to accomplish peace for 3 1/2 years. at the end of 3 1/2 years he will go into the temple in jeruselem (israel) and proclaim himself to be god (remember satillite tv?). at this time all "hell will break loose" as god begins to pour out his wrath for the next 3 1/2 years with different plagues and such. god has been patient with us through out history but then enough will be enough. he must deal with (judge) the sin and evil that god has allowed (because he created us with a free-will, he had to allow evil). before the anti-christ comes onto the scene, jesus will return for those who are FAITHFULLY following him and are "looking" for his return. god is going to take his followers out of this world so that they will not have to face the judgement of god. is the world "ripe" for the anti-christ? possibly so. there is general unrest in our world. america, the world's "superpower" now feels vulnerability for the first time in history (sept 11th). if you think that there is no one that can "blacktop us", you are wrong. it would be difficult but certainly not impossible. the world is not a safe place and anything can happen. but god's plan is such that no one is gonna get "nuked" unless it fits into his plan with the world unrest issue. i know that sept 11th woke up alot of people were as before we just took it for granted.before anyone blames god for the condition of the world : IT IS "NOT" HIS FAULT, IT IS "OUR'S. it is our fault for turning our back's on him. god did not plan out the world so that it would come to this (god is a good god, but he will deal with and judge evil once and for all). all god did was foretell (prophecy) what this world would come to and how he was going to deal with i
