People who obsess about a supposed end of the world, Love their country/empire more than God, and don't fear death enough.

You will die, and that will be the end of your world.

So for every single one of us in this thread our world will end in the next 100 years maximum and we will all die.

Stop with the Americanised Rapture rubbish, and start living as Jesus commanded in the Gospels.

You are going to die anyway.

I wonder if all the Christian Martyrs in like 400BC, as they were being tortured and murdererd were worried about comfortable first world people in 2012 obsessing about imaginary ends?

Sorry, David, but there a couple mistakes in your post:

1. If Jesus comes back in the next 100 or so years, some of us will be raptured without death.

2. There were no Christian martyrs in 400BC. I assume that's a typo.

3. Most Christian martyrs in like 70 AD thought that Jesus was coming back before 90 AD or so. So I have read in the histories of such things.

4. Technically, if I die before Jesus gets back, it won't be the end of my world, because that ended when I entered His world the day I got saved. I just won't be working here anymore.

Not sure where you get this. I know people who are very "obsessed" about a rapture or other end-of-world thing, who are not at all patriotic.

Stop with the Americanised Rapture rubbish, and start living as Jesus commanded in the Gospels.

Now this I have to agree with 100%. Amen!

Ummm ... there were no Christian Martyrs in 400BC. How could there be people who died for Christ before Christ?

I cannot quote it, but I understand that there is scripture that tells us not to hope for the end times.

We all though, are called to hope in Jesus.
For this is the hope we all are trully called to. :)

There are days though that I am weary and saddened by the world, not because I love the world, but because of the lack of love in the world.
Seeing so many suffer because of evil is heartbreaking, watching so many decieved in this nation, the world by false good and an attitude of entitlement, failing to see how such makes one a slave to the ones who give in these ways, trying to destroy true charity and grace.

Jesus said though to keep our eyes on Him, so this I will do.

I dont know about what lays ahead, I do see much deception, many falling away for their lack of faith, not because they are bad people, but because too many seek evidence, being trained to look to these things when we are called to faith.
Believing lies, simply because they know only what is being said , and want to believe only in these worldly words.
Just by what is happening in the world, I do wonder if there is going to be a false tribulation in the future, terrible struggles that will usher in a new way of life, goverment and possible leaders, I wonder if then there will be a time of false restoration, sealing many to a slavery that will be increased by their unspoken fears of returning to difficult times again, denying the truth for the sake of this false restoration in the world, always fearful of speaking anything agaist what holds the world, fearful of retrabution or simply being fully rejected by the life that is provided.

Maby its just my age rambleing tthough, knowing what was and having lived these freedoms, and seeing freedom now being turned upside down, and the chains tightening more each day.

This is why I am so thankful for Jesus, for it is trully though Him we are freed, for the things of the world and flesh have no hold on us.
As we know trully through faith in Jesus, that there are but three things that last, faith, hope and love!
That all is given and lived in Jesus, and in Him is the life we will one day know compleatly, eternal and perfected by God's love for us in Jesus, guiding us by His Holy Spirit. :)

Maby not hoping for the world's end, but rejoicing in all promised in Jesus!
Knowing that one day, we will all be together with Him, rejoicing and praising God!


God bless

here is my perception about the end, i do not hope for the the end because it means the end of the world but rather i will be excited to soon see jesus. i think we should also serve him even in the end, because i believe saving souls will be more important than ever in those times and people will be seeking hope when death and famine come but jesus will protect those who love him.

I was under the impression that the Mayan's were astronomers in regards to their calendars. Since we use a different calendar then that woudn't be the correct date. Also I think the last date on their calendar was about a supposed still new, undiscovered planet that became visible from earth, due to problems occurring on that date in our solar system. I'm with Blain on this one, I welcome the Second Coming, but not looking forward to any antichrist drama, etc.

Something else to think about is that we can say that not only the Mayans, but all of the other old world tribes & civilizations who predicted things for 2012 were, as we see it, involved in the occult. (Worshipping false gods, sacrificing to false gods,etc)
Some of these other ancient civilizations predicted their "god" would come to earth in 2012.
It sounds like it could mark the time when the occult becomes extremly prominent/satanic forces loosed,etc. But the Bible prophecy makes it clear that there is a lot to be fulfilled yet, so it is NOT possible it is the end of the world this month.

Then again, Jesus said it would come when we least expect it. I think if you get too "comfortable" and say, "Oh, it surely couldn't happen today," that's risky. My reading of Jesus' teachings, and other apocalyptic Scripture, indicates that we ought to live every day like it is the last day of the world. Because it just may be. The parable of the bridesmaids, for example ... the foolish ones said, "it is NOT possible he will come tonight..."

I don't think Jesus wants us to live in fear. Rather, I think Jesus wants us to spend every waking minute, every waking hour, doing the business of bringing forth His Kindom. Not necessarily because it's coming tomorrow (though it may), but because that's our job: prepare ye the way of the Lord.
