The Last Days

[Angel Shards]

It seems nothing has changed in Christianity for the past 2,000 years. It was an apocalyptic movement back then, and it still is today.

But if we make it a point not to serve God or follow Christ and follow the word then thats what antichrist in essence is


Life is not a movie, though many movies are made from true experiences... however, you know those "end of the world" type of movies? like everyone litterally dies, or very few survive? and when they see things actually happening there is mass pandemonium and confusion, people dont know what to do and so on..

now in the days of noah (so the Bible goes) it says that ppl were given ample warning to come on God's side and enter into the arc. However they laughed at Noah and said he was crazy yada yada... the day comes that Noah and his family enter and God shuts the door.... right at that momemt ppl then realize... "oh crap! they were right".... but it was too late, cause they didnt listen to warnings.....

thats what jesus said it would be like today.... now the Bible says the same would happen, ppl would have warnings, but once the governments declare war against the religions and to outlaw and destroy them... thats it, the book is sealed and the door is shut so to speak.... everyone who didnt listen and had a chance to before, well too bad... cause as much as they beg and cry like in noahs day... that wont change a thing... cause its their heart that wont be right.

anyway, now dont go on to say Im wrong or right... im jus sayin.... thats how the Bible tells it

haha! awww man, i HAVE to say this this is funny... not even 30 min after i wrote this... something major just happened in Florida, especially south FL, Miami areas where i live.
The city just had a major blackout... i was stuck downtown miami about an hour away from my home for 3 hours at school. no way out... everything was shut down. right now there are still over 200,000 ppl in miami they said without power, but first reports had up to 5 mil ppl across the state without power.

I hear ppl panicing, its all thats on all the news stations right now... ppl were talking about its the end of the world haha, not only cuz all technology went on the frits including cellular phones and communications services, but hey look in the sky! it was pitch black in the sky haha! cuz it was about to storm bad... ppl were crying, trying to call everyone ... wow it was funny, kinda just like i described before... its so funny how things work... anyway, i know its not the end today. lol... but its funny how ppl react... cuz ppl were crying out to God and stuff like he would save them now if they hadnt payed attention to him before lol....

it just goes to show... that if the end really did come.. ppl so wouldnt be prepared lol

its on every news station in FL and possibly will be on the world news too im sure.... (lil extra tid bit xDD i was also interviewed on the news! xDD lol... for the... 30th time in my life haha i stay on tv... without even tryin xDD)

What it goes to show is that people are stupid.

Blackout + dark sky.

Logical conclusion: WE'RE SCREWED! WE'RE SCREWED! GIANT PIGS AND TICKS AND POKEMANZ ARE GOING TO BE FLYING EVERYWH.... oh, the power came back.

500 years ago: An Earthquake destroyed my country. THE END IS NIGH.
Today: A blackout. THE END IS NIGH.
500 years from now: I broke a nail. THE END IS NIGH.

For this particular instance, I will agree with Shards, that is human paranoia. A blackout does not mean the end is near.

duh... im just saying if ppl paniced for something as trivial as no communications or technology working for 1 day in a state... (unless generators or battery powered) then lol, they'd be in for a big surprise and DEF panic if the end came....

thats because you have no idea whats going on in the forum.... obviously... otherwise you'd know....


Im watching NBC nightly news right now... talking about the hardships america is facing with the increasing economic instability and hardships that most Americans are facing. we know this isnt only happening in America but all around the world in even so-called "wealthy nations" its been around hardships forever, but we see it happening more and more. It just reminded me of a scripture:

2 Timothy 3: 1- 5 - But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.

id also like to mention... some of you get upset or use slick responses when i chose not to reply to something you say.... well i've explained myself before, but i'd like to use a scripture this time:

2 Tim 2: 23-26 - Further, turn down foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing they produce fights. But a slave of the Lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle toward all, qualified to teach, keeping himself restrained under evil, instructing with mildness those not favorably disposed; as perhaps God may give them repentance leading to an accurate knowledge of truth, and they may come back to their proper senses out from the snare of the Devil, seeing that they have been caught alive by him for the will of that one.

Dude, do you even know what Rome was like before its fall? It was hedonism central.

Why are people such IDIOTS these days? I share that belief as well. But just because someone says something that you don't believe doesn't mean you have to be so STUPID. Just keep your mouth shut please. This is a discussion/debate threat. Your comment is just poor taste, sir. If you don't like whats being said then dont respond to it. Sorry, that just bugs me so much how close minded people down on others with different beliefs. Okay Im done.

You misunderstand.

What he said was "STUPID." It wasn't a whole lot more than some pointless, obvious remark regarding the reaction of society if "the end came." Of course they would panic.

The reason I say this is psycho-babble bullshit is because it seems as though he's trying to find some deeper meaning to his disconnected argument.

I know.... like i said before ... well i said it before i wont say it again, anyway...

(2 Peter 3:3-4) For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.”

but there's a reason...

(2 Peter 3:9) Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.

back then you say?

Last Days of the Jewish System of Things. Less than three and a half years before the non-Jews became part of the Christian congregation, God’s spirit was poured out on faithful Jewish disciples of Jesus Christ. At that time Peter explained that this was in fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy, saying: “‘And in the last days,’ God says, ‘I shall pour out some of my spirit upon every sort of flesh .*.*. And I will give portents in heaven above and signs on earth below, blood and fire and smoke mist; the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and illustrious day of Jehovah arrives.’” (Ac 2:16-20) In this case “the last days” preceded “the great and illustrious day of Jehovah,” which “day” apparently brought “the last days” to their conclusion. (Compare Zep 1:14-18; Mal 4:5; Mt 11:13,*14;) Since Peter addressed natural Jews and Jewish proselytes, his words had particular reference to them and evidently indicated that they were living in “the last days” of the then-existing Jewish system of things with its center of worship at Jerusalem. Earlier, Christ Jesus himself had foretold the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple (Lu 19:41-44; 21:5,*6), which occurred in 70*C.E.

also with reference to the end of the Jewish system of things that Christ Jesus was spoken of as appearing and carrying on his activity “at the end of the times” or “at the end of these days.” (1Pe 1:20,*21; Heb 1:1,*2) This is confirmed by the words of Hebrews 9:26: “But now he [Jesus] has manifested himself once for all time at the conclusion of the systems of things to put sin away through the sacrifice of himself.”

It doesn't mean end of days...the Earth is going through it's natural cycle...

I'm just a little confused.

If no one was around to record that then how do you know that is what's happening?

Gah sorry if that is confusing I'm terrible with English (and its my native language)

While that may be true, that's still only part. There's still the agreement part, and the false Godly devotion part. I honestly don't think that at the end of the Roman Empire that there were tons who said that they loved God but did not. That's actually way more common in today's society. Today's society fits this verse way better than end of Roman Empire.
