Thankyou all so much for your posts!
It is interesting the many opinions.
Im not trying to say this is happening now, or bring gloom and doom.
Nor is this thread saying this is now.
But I cannot help but wonder, when the signs are present, how are we to discuss this?
If we eather are saying this has all been said before, so I put no concern in it, or , we go the other way, saying it is now, be ready!
Jesus gave us the events to look to, telling us that when we see these things, we can know that it is near.
I read scripture a few weeks ago about putting off any unsettled situation with God.
In case one may be caught, to late to do this.
I have always strongly believed that if these times are near, the word of Jesus will be our comfort, caution and guide.
One must consider that satan would bring passivity in this to many, as they have heard it before.
I look to the terrible events that followed hurricain katrina, many ignored the warnings, simply because they had heard them so often before.
Because of this, so many suffered horribly or were lost.
It is this that should be considered, are we becoming passive?
Thus, the unwillingness to discuss.
For a long time I have told myself that all said was a matter of hype and fear.
So how can we as christians discuss this, with the understanding given in Jesus, and wisdom?
Are there events today, that we should pay attention to?
Can we discuss this, soberly?
So that the witness we are called to in Jesus, will be given?
Thankyou for your responces so far, and for those that can be given in Jesus.

God bless.
