how close are we to the end

[tazkevin]

in Obama care there is something that says that they can inplant a chip in your hand or forhead for hospitols to be able to pull up your medical files but they can also tie them to your checking and savings account sounds kinda close to the mark of the beast to me what do you think does it sound like the time is getting close.

 

[Exoaria]

People will always speculate and reply to these threads with so much crap you can't even filter through it.

If you want the honest truth, it will be we don't know.
Nobody knows except the Father, the Bible is clear of this. Jesus said we would know the time is approaching by signs of earthquakes and the earth going into turmoil. It's hard to tell just how bad Sodom and Gomorrah were.

I'm not even going to go into it. I don't know the answer.

Nobody does.

Live your life....at the same time, as the Bible says, stay awake. Keep yourself spiritually fit, and focused on Christ.
I see signs and symbolism everywhere, but only the Lord knows the day/hour.
As far as the chip, many say that is THE MOTB...cannot buy or trade without it, etc etc.... Whatever you perceive the MOTB is, don't ever take it. Ever.
(I think they removed it from the original bill, too controversial, but these days, not much stops the evil in this world from going ahead with their agenda)...

Can you post a link? I have seen some bogus stuff that claims we will be compelled to have a chip inserted or you don't get any obama care and this is false.

Today we are one more day closer than yesterday. Tomorrow is another day closer than today.

USA is not the world, people forget that. Whatever happens in the USA or another country has nothing to do with The Mark. Yes we have the technology, new technology is around the corner, the chip is about to be replaced by biometric skin tattoos which work best on forehead or back of hand.

in the 1950s the mark was number tattoo on the wrist, later replaced by barcode tattoos, so on it goes. People will only know the mark when the Beast and False prophet take to the world stage and bring the world under their control and rule. Then we will see the Mark, until then, anyone's guess and implanting yourself with a chip today is not taking the mark.

As someone who has studied and payed attention to these end times and signs exhaustively I can say for a fact we are very near to what some would call the end which involves the tribulation and the rapture. but these two things are not quite the end as there are a few things that will happen after and during these two things.

However many do not see nor believe these things nor do they want to, but we were told to watch and always be ready for these things in our hearts. many say the rapture cannot happen because certain things have to happen first, many believe in a post or mid rapture also. It is an argument that will not cease until these things come to pass and people tend to get upset when you try to warn them of these things.

The way I see it is that the rapture will happen before the mark comes, and I believe the chip is in fact the mark as it fits every scripture about the mark perfectly. But for those who are waiting for the lord to take us home we need not be afraid of the mark because we will not be recieving it. so what we do is for every day it doesn't happen we use that day to become even closer to the lord and seek his heart even strongly.

Theories are like noses, everybody has one. I guess I do to. I say that it is in the mind and when the time comes the person will make a decision if to follow the Beast system or follow God.

 

[reject-tech]

Politics and technology, when eaten by Christianity, is a deception and distraction.
Tribulation is in the heart and is now. Can you feel it?

The 11th Hour

Laborers in the Vineyard

Matthew 20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like [SUP][a][/SUP]a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. [SUP]2 [/SUP]When he had agreed with the laborers for a [SUP][b][/SUP]denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard. [SUP]3 [/SUP]And he went out about the [SUP][c][/SUP]third hour and saw others standing idle in the market place; [SUP]4 [/SUP]and to those he said, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ And so they went. [SUP]5 [/SUP]Again he went out about the [SUP][d][/SUP]sixth and the ninth hour, and did [SUP][e][/SUP]the same thing. [SUP]6 [/SUP]And about the [SUP][f][/SUP]eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he *said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day long?’ [SUP]7 [/SUP]They *said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He *said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’

[SUP]8 [/SUP]“When evening came, the [SUP][g][/SUP]owner of the vineyard *said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.’ [SUP]9 [/SUP]When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a [SUP][h][/SUP]denarius. [SUP]10 [/SUP]When those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; [SUP][i][/SUP]but each of them also received a denarius. [SUP]11 [/SUP]When they received it, they grumbled at the landowner, [SUP]12 [/SUP]saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’ [SUP]13 [/SUP]But he answered and said to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? [SUP]14 [/SUP]Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. [SUP]15 [/SUP]Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye [SUP][j][/SUP]envious because I am [SUP][k][/SUP]generous?’ [SUP]16 [/SUP]So the last shall be first, and the first last.”

Signs of Christ’s Return

Matthew 24 Jesus came out from the temple and was going away [SUP][a][/SUP]when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. [SUP]2 [/SUP]And He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”

[SUP]3 [/SUP]As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the [SUP][b][/SUP]end of the age?”

[SUP]4 [/SUP]And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. [SUP]5 [/SUP]For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the [SUP][c][/SUP]Christ,’ and will mislead many. [SUP]6 [/SUP]You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. [SUP]7 [/SUP]For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. [SUP]8 [/SUP]But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

[SUP]9 [/SUP]“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. [SUP]10 [/SUP]At that time many will [SUP][d][/SUP]fall away and will [SUP][e][/SUP]betray one another and hate one another. [SUP]11 [/SUP]Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Because lawlessness is increased, [SUP][f][/SUP]most people’s love will grow cold. [SUP]13 [/SUP]But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. [SUP]14 [/SUP]This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole [SUP][g][/SUP]world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Be Ready for His Coming

[SUP]42 [/SUP]“Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. [SUP]43 [/SUP]But [SUP][af][/SUP]be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be [SUP][ag][/SUP]broken into. [SUP]44 [/SUP]For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
[SUP]
45 [/SUP]“Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his [SUP][ah][/SUP]master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? [SUP]46 [/SUP]Blessed is that slave whom his [SUP][ai][/SUP]master finds so doing when he comes. [SUP]47 [/SUP]Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. [SUP]48 [/SUP]But if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My [SUP][aj][/SUP]master [SUP][ak][/SUP]is not coming for a long time,’ [SUP]49 [/SUP]and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards; [SUP]50 [/SUP]the [SUP][al][/SUP]master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know, [SUP]51 [/SUP]and will [SUP][am][/SUP]cut him in pieces and [SUP][an][/SUP]assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Parable of Ten Virgins

Matthew 25 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. [SUP]2 [/SUP]Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. [SUP]3 [/SUP]For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, [SUP]4 [/SUP]but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. [SUP]5 [/SUP]Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. [SUP]6 [/SUP]But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ [SUP]7 [/SUP]Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. [SUP]8 [/SUP]The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ [SUP]9 [/SUP]But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ [SUP]10 [/SUP]And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. [SUP]11 [/SUP]Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ [SUP]12 [/SUP]But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ [SUP]13 [/SUP]Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.

i have come to the conclusion that 'conspiracy researchers' don't really research much of anything...their investigative methods are apallingly sloppy...but lots of links and lots of cutting and pasting often makes it look like they have done lots of homework...

Considering nearly every generation for the past 2000+ years has condisidered there time the "End Times" I'm going to make a brazen assumption and say, they're not coming anytime soon. And even if they do come tomorrow, we can't know. If ever there were antichrist candidates it would Hitler, Stalin or Mao, and all of them died without incident.

So stop fussing about the end times! they'll come when they'll come.

 

[raf]

For a lot of us it might always seem like the end of the world*life difficulties and what not* but we have to understand just because it might be the end of the world to us doesnt mean its the end of planet earth or the rest of humanity.

 

[freeman4]

We may be a lot closer to the time of Christ's return than many may believe. Yes events have happened in the past to make one feel that that time was here but it came and left with no second coming. But when this time does come will it catch many by surprise or does it really make any difference. I say that it does make a difference because Jesus said to "watch".

But we are to watch what? We are to watch World events. But you say World events like what we are experiencing now have happened in the past. Have they really?

Have we in our time experienced anything like we are today, in our time? I say, no we have not. Sure we have had Wars and more wars and dictators like Hitler and others, but we as a Nation have never in the History of our Nation even remotely had our freedoms stripped from us as we are today. Executive Orders are in place to where all they have to do is give the order and we are or we will become a third World country.

Ye, we are in dangerous times and we could be very close for something on the horizon. I do know this much, the return of Christ can not happen for at least 3 1/2 years. That my thoughts.

Yes because america and what parts of our rights are/are not in tact was clearly a huge focus in revelations and end time writings from the Bible.
