Everyone I am sorry to have to make another thread about the end times but i needed to get this off my chest. People say God is sick of the sin in america and will bring wrath and judgment on it. But It's not just america, It's the whole world. For so long God has been patient with us, and for so long he has prolonged the judgment because he does not wish to see any of his children suffer. But He has really had enough and will take action soon, I feel something big is about to happen. Something horrible is rapidly on it's way, this is not new news but it is true.

Have you not seen the weird and rare weather? Has anyone been paying attention to the signs? I don't know what is coming but i know it's bad

Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
...just thought I'd have fun quoting Scripture out of context.

Blain,
I'm curious.. What action or course do you think that the people of the United States should take? What can we do as a people to stop the great tradgedies that are besetting us or are about to beset us???

I hear you Blain. I think that people targeting the u.s. have a personal agenda. Sin is everywhere. I find myself more and more thinking I'm so ready to go. Not in a weird suicidal way. Just ready to be with God absent from this body the flesh and present with the Lord. And I believe most everyone has to see the signs. Some may be unaware of what it means, but not every person has made that connection with God either.

there are many observable signs and with good reason. we were told to watch for (not ask for) these signs that end of the age was upon us so that we would be prepared and not be caught off guard as the rest will be. you are right. it wont only be the united states. the entire world is going to be judged just as it was judged at the flood. as long as people are focused on the sins of the united states they don't have to look at the sins of their own country. they can say that compared to us they aren't so bad. but that is human nature and happens on a personal level everyday. the news is very clear in pointing out the degraded state all countries are in. judgement will begin at the church however and the mark of God has to placed on His people just as the mark of the beast will be on satan's followers. pray that you will be worthy to receive God's mark since it will not be applied by human hands and pray that you will be worthy to escape the coming wrath.

I agree ,I feel something big is about to happen here in America, the sin in the world has been increased in the last 10 years or so , there are so many who don't fear the Lord, to much false teachers and religions, there have been many signs on the news , we see everyday signs that Jesus is coming soon! hallelujah

Here you go Blain...

Deu 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
Deu 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

Picture in your mind's eye a fellow trying to outrun a tsunami and this giant wall of water is about to swallow him up. Now let's picture the same guy and the tsunami is really all the great and wonderful blessings God could lavish on a nation and you can't even out run them. Uh-oh, now let's read on...

Deu 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Deu 28:16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
Deu 28:17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
Deu 28:18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
Deu 28:19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
Deu 28:20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
Deu 28:21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
Deu 28:22 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
Deu 28:23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
Deu 28:24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Deu 28:25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
Deu 28:26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
Deu 28:27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
Deu 28:28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
Deu 28:29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
Deu 28:30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
Deu 28:31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
Deu 28:32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
Deu 28:33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
Deu 28:34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
Deu 28:35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
Deu 28:36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
Deu 28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
Deu 28:38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
Deu 28:39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
Deu 28:40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
Deu 28:41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
Deu 28:42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
Deu 28:43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
Deu 28:44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
Deu 28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
Deu 28:46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
Deu 28:47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
Deu 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
Deu 28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
Deu 28:50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
Deu 28:51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
Deu 28:52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
Deu 28:53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
Deu 28:54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
Deu 28:55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
Deu 28:56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
Deu 28:57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
Deu 28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
Deu 28:59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
Deu 28:60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
Deu 28:61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
Deu 28:62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
Deu 28:63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Deu 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
Deu 28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
Deu 28:66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
Deu 28:67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
Deu 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

And it really doesn't have to happen this way, what does God want from us?

Deu 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
Deu 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

Now for further reading turn to Lev 26

But has sin truly reached its full potential? I know that when God punishes a group of people as seen in the Bible, God usually lets sin reach its most full potential before he extends His wrath. Creation is groaning to be baptized and redeemed once again! My sister recently got back from a mission trip to Haiti. The people that live there need prayers desperately just like everyone else. They are due for another big earthquake similar if not worse than a few years ago. That's just one place. There are also geologists talking about Yellowstone and how magma is starting to gather under there for the first time in several centuries. But this isn't new. The Bible warns us that these things must come to pass. This is only in terms of weather. Degradation of morality is everywhere and the degradation is becoming accepted as "right". That's a lie from the Father of lies. We need to not only pray to God but we need to get on our knees for the entire world. My spiritual sense have been tingling for a while about this. I'm not trying to be paranoid either. Christ warned us these things will happen. We are living through spoken prophecies! I'm in no way trying to predict dates like some people would suggest but I believe Christ's return is more immanent then we'd think. These times may be hard and the signs may be troubling, but I think this is only the beginning of what is to come.

Your right about your entire post:] And yes it is only the beginning of what is to come, because the rapture of the church is the beginning of many horrible prophesies being fulfilled. And judging from what I've seen such as the river turning into blood in china a while back and all the freaky stuff that has happened in just this year I would say the church will be gone very very soon. Not many believe the lord about this stuff, they have eyes to see and ears to hear but cannot. the rapture the tragedies and the tribulation to come is closer and more dangerous than people realize. This is why today I begged god for forgiveness and to cleanse me of all my sins and for me to live a righteous life in his eyes, because for all I knew I only could have had only a minute to live.

The people who have never heard the gospel are going to be given a chance once the rapture happens. the tribulation is supposed to be the biggest revival ever, more people will be saved than even when Jesus walked the earth. and some of us who are raptured will come back to earth empowered by God to do this.

LOL I cannot give a set time, only the lord knows that. But it is rapidly coming, it will be very unexpected and will happen on an ordinary day like any other. I feel as if there is no more time to do as we please in sin, every time I watch porn or something I hear the holy spirit say to me( there is not time for this)

I don't think we have 2000 more years here on earth. Honestly I believe it will happen this year, perhaps even this month idk, but it will be bad.

The funny thing about the word is that even if i posted scripture to go along with this it wold be disregarded as still false. I stopped posting scripture to prove a point because even with scripture no one listens. How many have listened to me? I say many times that regardless of any kind of doctrine if you really wish to know what the lord desires, and if you truly wish to know the deep things of God and if you really want to know who he is and have a very deep bond with him seek his heart. Now tell me, who has honestly followed my advice? who of you have created in yourself a humble teachable heart? only a heart willing to give up what they thought they knew and learn a new teaching from the lord himself can truly seek his heart.
