Do  you believe in the "End Times".....that is when Christ comes back, the rapture, etc.?

I believe that one day God will return and the book of Revalations will be fulfilled.\n\nRapture?  that word isn't in the Bible.  It was first coined around 1850 and was never mentioned previously.  That is a man-made idea.

I expected to be here AND I believe in the book of Revelation.  There's a lot that still needs to take place before the world ends.  Jesus said he'd come at an hour we didn't expect.

No, I don't.  I believe that the book of Revelations was written about politics and events that were current nearly 2,000 years ago and has no relevance today.  I know that various preachers have been predicting the "End Times" for several hundred years and they've all been wrong.\n\nI see reliance on the concept of a "Judgement Day" as a tool for manipulating the masses and a serious cop out (i.e. "The world's a mess but have no fear, Jesus is gonna' come sort the whole nasty business out for us, so just pay your tithe and smile!")\n\nI have yet to see anything positive come out of a belief in Armageddon, just a lot of apathy, war and avoidance of important issues.  So all in all, I think we're better off forgetting about it and working for a better tommorow.

Generally yes, I do believe the world will come to an end. Not necessarily as it predicted in religous text but eventually the world will cease to exsist from one disaster or another.

The only "end times" prophesied in the bible occurred in the 1st Century:\n\n"This generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place" (Matthew 24:34, Luke 21:32)\n\n\n"Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom" (Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, Luke 9:27)\n\nEither they came and went, or the bible is wrong.

We are in the end of the times, and all we are waiting for now is the last person to be born again by God's Spirit through repentance and faith in Christ (trusting in him to save them as they would in a parachute they have put on to save them from the jump that is to come). \n\nOnce the last person is saved then Jesus will return and all believers will be raptured to heaven and the Tribulation period will come upon all who were left behind on earth. God's wrath will begin and the entire tribulation period will be 7 years before he returns with all the Christians from heaven and the angels to reign on earth for 1000 years. This is called the Millenial Kingdom. A\n\nt the end of the world there will be two judgments on one Judgment Day. At the Bema (reward) seat of Christ (the saved)believers will receive rewards and crowns for being obedient servants, the rest of the people who were placed in Hell until this Day or were alive up to this point will be brought before God on this Judgement Day and they will be judged by God according to the 10 commandments and see if they have broken his Law. Those who are guilty (all of those unsaved people there on Judgement Day)will be found guilty and tossed into the Lake of Fire and will be tormented and alone in darkness for all eternity. Never to escape or be saved from it.

No, i do not think that people will believe in Jesus neither on nor after the day of the rapture. I believe that they would rather believe that there is an extraterrestrial force that caused millions of people to "disappear" and they will, of course, search for a solution. It's human nature to find an excuse for something we cannot explain or do not believe in.

When the end comes, we won't know it. It'll be here on moment, gone the next.\n\nBut why do you assume the world is going to end. Maybe, in time, we can sort out ourselves, and the world and live here forever in absolute peace. Isn't that what you religious people really think, that your lord will punish the sinners and non believers and purify the earth for those of you good enough for his praise?

It was to happen in Jesus' time or shortly after but it didn't. He even said it would, but maybe he was wrong; maybe what he saw or heard in his visions of the end times were too blurry.\n\nThe "end of the world" will happen when humankind is obliterated. There might be a respawning of life on Earth afterwards when conditions clear up. But without humans, there is no human religion, thus it is the "end of the world" for us.

nobody knows the time nor the hour in which Jesus will come back. Only GOD himself does. Anybody else who says they do is LYING!!!!!!

No one knows when He will come back. But I think it will be sooner than later. And He is coming to rapture His people. How great will that be...Not having to suffer death. Simply taken to Heaven to be with Jesus. I hope I am still around to be part of it.

I know it's coming; the dead in Christ will rise first, then those who are alive will be caught up with Jesus.\nHe surely is.

Yes, we are living in the days of 2Timothy3, that describes the end times.  Sounds like a summary of today.\n\nBlessings,\nDavid

Gee let me guess...because the date is 6/6/06?\n\nWhatever. No one except God knows when the world will end. It could be that day or any other day.\n\nThe Bible does say it will happen, but it also says "It will come like a thief in the night," and "no one knows the day or the hour." God purposely did not tell us the exact date or time becuase it's not for us to know when. He wants us to be ready for it all of the time.

Yes to all your questions. It seems we have heard it forever that God will return for those who have made themselves ready. Will we hear it the next thousand years? Don't think so. All you have to do is look in Revelation and see this is truly the last days. All the old prophecies are almost totally fulfilled. The world is just about at the place when God will finish up and do what he said he would do. Most people either don't believe the end is almost here or don't wish to believe it. One day we will know for sure want we?

Man's world will come to an end & so will satan when Christ returns & sets up his Kingdom here on the earth. There will be no rapture every eye shall see him when he returns in the clouds. Every knee & tounge shall confess that he is King of kins & Lord of lords.

I believe as you do, rapture prior to 7 year tribulation\n\nWhy - here is one of several places in the bible that says so....\nI won't list all, to much space taken \n\n1 Thessalonians 4\n16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18Therefore encourage each other with these words.
