The Last Days

[Darkwatch]

Approaching 7 billion. :3

End times, I don't really care if it happens or not, if it is true or not, because if it happens, it happens. Plus, it'll be really exciting if the world does reach its last days. :3333

[Forever Atlas]

^ It sure will be exciting.... but scary rough times too >.>

[Darkwatch]

Eh, the way I see it, my time on the planet is just a big ride of entertainment. Life isn't really that important to me if something like the end of the world happens. Since my chances of living are probably 0 anyway.

[.:Raz:.]

Aren't the last days supposed to be, I dunno, horrible? My life's pretty decent right now.

[Forever Atlas]

^ actually no... the Last days are based on world conditions... and even the Bible says that many will prosper, be happy, etc etc and there will even be a time when all things seem to be perfect, like all the worlds major problems are solved... but its just a sign of the times... the last days.

Its one of the tactics satan uses to make people believe its fiction... that everything is okay, and that we can be complacent

Thats just my view I know many of you wont and dont have to agree with

Astrology is spread in the Bible, so if the reference is to an astrological event it is undoubtedly cyclical. And for mankind to systems come and go before the world wars there were many changes in the world such as the fall of Rome in 456 A.D., Constantinople a milenium or so later, the French Revolution and the beginning of questioning of the divine right of kings of the Illustration and so forth. Also dates as the year 1666 have been considered the end of the world. So only God knows.

idk the way I see it is that when the world will finally go up in smoke, there will be some great truth revealed. What that truth is i dont know, but dont be expecting Jesus it could be anything... or nothing.

Astrology is spread in the Bible

Astrology is also bunk =/

[Forever Atlas]

^ yeah, and that guy, Better Tomorrow, what he's talking about.... I dont know... because I've seen quite a few of his posts... he keeps saying things that are his own opinion as FACT saying this and that have been proved without backing it up with something....

At least others who dont believe what the Bible says say its what they believe or their opinion, or at least they give some extra proof that shows why they say what they say.

The Bible is AGAINST ASTROLOGY says it plain and clear.......

If Better Tomorrow has his basis for this claim, I would like to see it.

The Encyclopædia Britannica notes that astrology is a “type of divination that consists in forecasting earthly and human events by means of observing and interpreting the fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets.”

astrology

c.1375, from L. astrologia "astronomy," from Gk. astrologia "telling of the stars," from astron "star" + -logia "treating of," comb. form of logon "one who speaks (in a certain manner)." Originally identical with astronomy, it had also a special sense of "practical astronomy, astronomy applied to prediction of events." This was divided into natural astrology "the calculation and foretelling of natural phenomenon" (tides, eclipses, etc.), and judicial astrology "the art of judging occult influences of stars on human affairs" (also known as stromancy, 1652). Differentiation began late 1400s and by 17c. this word was limited to "reading influences of the stars and their effects on human destiny."


Deuteronomy 18: 10-12 - There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you.

There were many nations that practiced astrology back in the ancient days. Babylon, Egypt, Assyrians, etc. they all practiced these things... and they were all also condemned by God.

Well, to be fair, it's not saying astrology is bunk, it's saying it's forbidden. Necromancy, magic and so on.

What do you mean by bunk.... but anyway

Sure it is.... its also warning of where it leads to and what it involves.... of course once again you probably wont recognize any of this as being valid or whatever, but its what I believe.

All these things are related to the spirit world of Demons.... which the Bible tells us what they do through these things and the danger of them... it says:

Revelation 12: 9 - So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him

They mislead people, by many different means, magics, and the likes.... etc etc. Its not so much that there arent powerful works... but the danger and the truth behind them.


But the Bible did say not to put trust in it and showed that it wasnt even useful and the people who practiced it (astrology), could not predict reliably anything.

Daniel 4: 7 - “At that time the magic-practicing priests, the conjurers, the Chal·de′ans and the astrologers were entering; and I was saying before them what the dream was, but its interpretation they were not making known to me

Daniel 5: 7 - The king was calling out loudly to bring in the conjurers, the Chal·de′ans and the astrologers. The king was answering and saying to the wise men of Babylon: “Any man that will read this writing and show me its very interpretation, with purple he will be clothed, with a necklace of gold about his neck, and as the third one in the kingdom he will rule.

Daniel 5: 11 - There exists a capable man in your kingdom in whom there is the spirit of holy gods; and in the days of your father illumination and insight and wisdom like the wisdom of gods were found in him, and King Neb·u·chad·nez′zar your father himself set him up as chief of the magic-practicing priests, the conjurers, the Chal·de′ans [and] the astrologers, [even] your father, O king;

Daniel 2: 27 - Daniel was answering before the king and saying: “The secret that the king himself is asking, the wise men, the conjurers, the magic-practicing priests [and] the astrologers themselves are unable to show to the king.

Isaiah had accurately foretold two centuries earlier. “Let your astrologers come forward and save you—those people who study the stars, who map out the zones of the heavens and tell you from month to month what is going to happen to you,” ...... “They will not even be able to save themselves.”—Isaiah 47:13, 14, Today’s English Version

Still today astrologers have not proved any more effective in predicting significant events.

Even after studying more than 3,000 specific astrological predictions, scientific investigators R. Culver and Philip Ianna concluded that only 10*percent were accurate.

Bunk = crap = bigfoot = Santa Claus = elves = non-existent = bunk =/

[Forever Atlas]

Okay, so yeah, thats what I'm saying, the Bible isnt saying that people cant seem to perform these powerful works etc as with magic and stuff... but its the source of their powers... and the history behind it, and the fact that its not accurate as the point of the Demons is to mislead.
