End Time Prophecies
Musterseed:
This just in fresh off the wire
The rapture is no later than May 14,2019 and they found Lots wife.😂😂😂
Johnny70:
Hi Pamela,
May 14 - for the Rapture this is great news. Nothing will be better than meeting Jesus way up high in the air. I wonder why they took so long to find Lot's wife - after turning to stone she should have lasted awhile and been easy to find!

On one hand......
"China to end the year as world’s worst performing stock market.
Stocks shed $2tn." Financial Times (London), Dec 18, 2018
And yet, on the other hand.........
"Chinese companies have been the biggest buyers of overseas
mining assets during the past year, in a concerted push to secure the
metals and minerals required for the energy transition away from
fossil fuels. This has led them to buy stakes in copper, cobalt and
lithium assets in countries as far afield as the Democratic Republic
of Congo, Serbia and Chile. Their largest acquisition last year was
the $4.1bn purchase of a 24 percent stake in a Chilean lithium miner
SQM. This deal and others contrast with the more cautious approach
by western mining companies such as Rio Tinto, Anglo American
and BHP Billiton, which have resisted any large acquisitions
reminiscent of that previous commodity boom that eventually led to
$109bn of write-offs. It is a bifurcation that could have profound
implications for who controls the future supply of critical metals,
which are expected to see surging demand over the next decade as
sales of electric cars increase. “Who’s got the fairest portion of the
earth? It’s still Rio, Anglo American and BHP, but the current
dynamic is making it harder and harder for the west to maintain that
position in the face of an increasingly self-confident China.” The Financial Times (London), Jan 25, 2019
China has been making very good use of her fiat money to take a superior position in the world's vital strategic elements along with gold and gold mines. The above mentioned list is just the tip of the iceberg. The world (especially the U.S. and west in general) is going to wake up one day and wonder why we ever severed gold from our paper money. Yes, there has to be a crash sooner or later.
In the meantime.... I hope this is not considered to be a political statement, I don't really mean it to be as I consider it a simple statement of fact that is easily observed by anyone who has eyes and ears scanning the entire spectrum with no particular affiliation of any sort in mind, in my opinion, concerning the majority of our nation's government officials:
Isa 1:5 ... the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Isa 1:6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it.....
Which can very quickly lead to:
Isa 1:7 Your land is wasted, your cities burned with fire. Strangers devour your land right before your eyes, and it is wasted, as overthrown by strangers.

Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
I don't think this is getting much press in the US but India is furious with Pakistan.

I found myself browsing through this thread and contemplating just how much this subject fascinates everyone, not just on this site, but even among the general populace. It matters not whether it’s religious or secular. Everyone seems to have an “end of the age” mindset. The biggest one for the secular crowd is global warming which has now morphed into ‘global climate change’ to cover whatever fits the meteorological conditions of the moment. That alone seems to be turning into a kind of religious fervor all it own. I’m not trying to create a debate on the veracity of the subject; I’m just expressing my observation of how it’s being addressed as another type of the “end of the age” and how we are going to be brought into a “new age” by those who are determined to “save the world” by controlling the weather. I see it as an interesting parallel to scripture that, in vague sort of way, strikes me as being another form of false god.
I have just now realized that I’ve actually strayed away from what I originally intended to write. The premise of this is a number of questions. When did the end times begin? It seems that we have been in them since the first day of Pentecost. Every generation has thought itself to be the last. And the reasons have been understandable from the perspective of the people of those times. Wars, disease, persecutions, and even serious climate changes of the past have occurred again and again. I’m not going to list anything because I believe we are all aware of at least the worst of these events. So, here we are… closer than ever to the culmination. But just how close are we? What is our perspective compared to tomorrow’s? Who knows just how much is yet to occur before the true culmination of events?
