End Time Prophecies
Wanda:
Mike, when I think of end time prophesy, it's not with the focus of gloom and doom, but a view of hope and deliverance from the barrage of evil that surrounds me, more so now than any other time in my life. Some would say it's always been this bad, and even worse at other times in history, but when God opens your eyes, it's not only to spiritual truth and it becomes impossible to doubt that the decay of morality is at an all time high, as well as declining rapidly. I can see an escalation of decline as a daily norm at this point and conditions in the world are like a run away train with no hope of rescue, but seeing Gods plan at work is the hope of assured rescue.
Jesus shared these signs of things to come for our comfort, hope and faith, so that we would rejoice and not have dread and fear to contend with, as the evils become increasingly overwhelming at times. Jesus left us with his peace and for me, being aware is most comforting and even peaceful at such a turbulent time.
Luke 21:28 ) "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

I can attest to this.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the birth pains Jesus talks about.
Mar 13:8 because nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes and famines in various places. These things are only the beginning of the birth pains.
1Th 5:3 When people say, "There is peace and security," destruction will strike them as suddenly as labor pains come to a pregnant woman, and they will not be able to escape.
Joh 16:21 When a woman is in labor she has pain, because her time has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.

It was mentioned in the first couple of pages of the thread.

--- Quote ---I could truly say a million things that describe such an absolute disgrace about this MOST condemning display of an absence of respect!!! Here is a major Christian figure, and to us the most significant event ever for mankind's salvation and benefit, trivialized and mocked to unbelief.

I agree John, but when you think on it a bit, they mocked and ridiculed Jesus unto his death. Why should we expect things would be any different in this time filled with so much evil. Still it angers me.

I see you mentioned some of the verses I listed, but have not seen anyone try to tie the two concepts together, birth of a child and the sudden destruction yet. Or maybe I missed it.
