End Time Prophecies
Wanda:
--- Quote ---I'd suggest that without context and corroboration, you don't know what you're seeing, even if the video is accurate. I find it impossible to believe in this climate that "media" is not reporting things.
--- End quote ---
And I'd suggest, as impossible as that may seem, the media's only interest is to present their own biased agenda. It's really not something new.
--- Quote ---Regardless, my main point is that the interpretation of at least some "prophecies" are subjective to experience. Beyond that, understanding has to be lived. It cannot be taught. The "signs of the times" have either happened to someone or they haven't. And that too is prophesied. Each and every one of us is "in there" somewhere.

Can't disagree with that.

Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Just as an interesting side note to “knowledge shall be increased”:
There has been an internet rumor floating around that two AI (Artificial Intelligence) chatbots in a lab began talking to each other in an unknown language of their own creation and had to be shut down. While the rumor is fundamentally false, it is based in some fact. There are numerous groups in the United States teaching chatbots to converse in English (and probably in other languages in other countries). They are learning to learn on their own and speak to humans as though they were human without us being able to tell the difference. As if that’s not bad enough, when there is no ‘reward’ for continuing in proper English or if there is no human involved in the conversation, they diverge from using standard English grammar and begin to use a kind of made-up “shorthand language” when speaking to each other. This same affinity for taking self-determined shortcuts has been noted with an AI program deliberately leaving items out of digital photographs when left to its own devices—items that it apparently deemed to be “unnecessary” to the image.
While I don’t believe AI will ever be a sentient self-aware entity, we may be creating an ultra-fast thinking “intelligent” Frankenstein’s Monster that seems to have all the flaws of human nature and none of the ethics. These machines are being developed by people who are not grounded in spiritual morals. We are working toward becoming dependent on something so “smart” that we may outsmart ourselves in the end.

I can feel the heat.

We might not be on the same thought with this Scripture Dennis, but if not I'm sure you'll correct me.
I'm seeing a connection to the insurmountable problems pertaining to the huge numbers that have migrated to many parts of Europe, and the same is happening in the US and Canada.
I'm sure many are aware of the huge numbers that came into Mexico recently, but not many know that thousands of these people from Central America that are in Mexico, are now being bused in to the US by Homeland Security and Ice enforcement daily. They are being dropped of to points all over the US even though it's not being reported in the media.
It has been reported there are 12,000 more on the way to the Mexican border, expected to arrive this month. If this continues, what we see happening in Europe will become our reality. Coming conditions can and will most likely, get progressively worse as a result.

We in North America tend to think we are the center of attention, and in many ways we are. But in Europe there has been an invasion of Muslim migrants except for a few countries like Hungry and Poland. Muslims are now close to 10% of the European population.
Most of these immigrants do not work and live off the various states. Even former idyllic states like Sweden, Finland, and Norway now suffer much higher crime.
As far as people coming in via Mexico, they are mostly Catholic's and will eventually assimilate. But in the meantime they are a burden on US social services.
These are facts and not political statements which I appreciate everyone staying away from.
Isa 1:7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Like North America, all of Europe is predominately Christian. If these are the end-times it's only going to get worse.

What country, city, or whatever do you think this is talking about, and why?
Rev 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Rev 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Rev 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Rev 18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Rev 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Rev 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
Rev 18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Rev 18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
indianabob:
Well first it's got to be a city in a Nation that professed belief in the one God, so we are left with only a few choices that may include London or New York City or even Washington D.C. What other possibilities come to mind that God would care enough about to apply stern correction leading to repentance?
