End Time Prophecies
ZekeSr:
Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
While all of Mat 24 is pertinent, mankind has only been capable of destroying all flesh since the end of WWII. That was over 70 years ago. Who knows how long it will be till then? Days? Months? Another 70 years? Perhaps a lot more?
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

If God were causing you to pay attention to the significance of what is happening all around you, in this nation and the world, you would not be in such ignorance.
But so be it.

Did Jesus not give us very specific signs to indicate the end time?
He gave them to those who would have eyes to see. Who are we to scoff at anyone for what they are seeing , or doubt that God is leading them to specific information that opens new understanding. I cannot dispute the work God is doing in another persons life, regarding end time prophecy. I can only follow where he leads me, and respectfully leave others to do the same.

I looked it up.

Correct. But Normal doesn’t mean good. The scripture you quoted doesn’t say ‘woe to those who call evil normal, and normal evil’
Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, the richest company in the world , said
“ I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me”.
So yes, he believes it is good .

If my response was overly blunt, I apologize. But I don’t believe it required your “I’m holier than thou” insult. I would have much preferred to see an explanation of your viewpoint.
As far as my stance goes on hurricanes: There have been over 290 storms that have hit the U.S. mainland since 1851. Only a very-very small percentage have been a category four or five. And despite the media hype and ranting of certain entities with an agenda, there is no substantial proof of an increase in the frequency and intensity of these storms over a period of time beyond a natural 60 – 70-year cycle.
I do not take any of these storms lightly. Michael could be another terrible disaster for those in its path. But we have to be very careful not to make assumptions based on natural events. Galveston in the year 1900 is still the worst loss of life at 8000. That doesn’t mean these storms may not pan out differently in the long run, but one must look from afar to gain the big picture.
Also, I am 68 years old today and painfully aware of national and world events (much to my wife’s chagrin ::)). I’ve lived through and seen a lot of tumult. And I have watched my nation and the world change right before my eyes. It is not an encouraging picture.
I do believe we are entering the end of the age. And I contend that the morning of July 16, 1945, the day of the first nuclear bomb detonation in the New Mexico desert, could be considered the opening salvo of the end time. But, obviously, the end is not yet. And no man knows when that will be.
