Mat 24:1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings.
Mat 24:2 "Do you see all these things?" he asked. "I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."
Mat 24:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"
Mat 24:4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you.
[Mat 24:5 For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, and will deceive many.
Mat 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Mat 24:7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
There does seem to be more natural disasters going on, earthquakes, major snow storms, hurricanes.
Some say its global warming, some say its the end times as predicted in the scriptures.
The above scripture is often cited as a prediction of end times. Others see it as a prediction of the fall of Jerusalem in 70 a.d., when it was destroyed by the Romans.
Here is an AP story about earthquakes in general
The Lord our God is coming to destroy the Earth and those who would forsake him! Repent ye sinners and live, or die by the sword of the Almighty!
ReplyDeleteThe coming of the Lord has been perdicted, wrongly, for the last 2,000 years. Mortal men should not be so foolish as to believe that they can devine the plan of God.
ReplyDelete...And here all along the weather channel thought most of the nasty weather is due to the El Nina in the Pacific...
ReplyDeleteNow what were they thinking
It sounds like you don't know your scripture very well, for if you did you would know that Christ is not returning to destroy the earth, but rather to rule and reign!
ReplyDeleteThe second post on here can be fittingly described in the 2nd book of Peter, ch 3, verses 3&4; "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation"
As for the earthquakes and the fullfillment of prophect as JJ wrote, yes, many believe that fullfillment to have taken place in 70A.D. I believe, because the scripture was written by the Holy Spirit, that those who believe this can be partially correct, but in resting entirely on 70A.D., they neglect the plenarial fullfillment of that text which is yet to come!
