I read a passage in Acts 1:6. The Disciples are asking :Lord, are you at this time goign to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus replies, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority."
Why do we try to put a date on the end of times? Why do we try to calculate when it's going to be? Honestly, I think it is nearing sinful to try and think you'll know when the time is coming to an end. When we try to figure something out, it's so that we'll have power over it, sort of a "know thy enemy" type of deal. We are so weak as humans that the idea of not knowing precisely when something happens causes us to go all flustered. God told us the end will happen, and that we won't know when it is, that there will be signs but the time and date are always going to be uncertain to us. Why can't we just accept that? Why do we have to keep pushing God aside, telling Him that we don't trust him enough to simply live our lives and not worry about when the end is coming? God isn't going to let us know when the end is, because like Jesus says, it's like knowing the time when a burglar is coming to steal from you. Stop trying to figure out when, and simply live in the knowledge that it will.

I dont think that advice was very good :S lol.^^
When Jesus left the Earth , he said he would be back soon ..or along those line, His followers , give away there money, there homes and there possesions. God still hasnt come. Bit i do belive the time is near. - I think it will be in my Generation. - before I die. But lovechild that was in no way, shape or form a dig at you and no need to get into an argument I am merely stating.
Furthermore, one of ther signs of the times is that a chip will be inserted into you wither the back of the hand or the forehead.Also money will no longer be needed and the man with the mark of the beast will come and rule over the world for Seven long years -3 good and 4 bad.
Story:
When you go shopping you put all the products into the trolley - take them out on the counter, pay for them and then you put them back into your trolley. Well in New York, they are making things more efficent. Certain shops are inserting chips into people hands. When the chip is there, there is no need for money, as the door has a special frame. You simply take your unpaid shopping walk out the door (specaill frame ) and the frame reads everything you have in your trolley and debits the ocst straight out of your bank account.
Sign of the times or what? Also in the bible a person with 666 on his foreead will rule the world. I thouroughly belive that with the mountof tattoos out in the world, people will have no problem gettning there numbers on them.
In the bible it says the armies of the world will gather in Isreal and march north - has nayone ever notice how if you draw a line north of Israel it leads rite into Russia?
just soemthing to think about =P
God Bless
