End Times - Introduction

[mpenaco]

Nicely prepared video but sadly, failed to interpret Jesus' end time prophecy correctly. The prophecies about the destruction of the temple, the signs of Jesus' coming and of the end of the age all refer to Jesus' doing away of the old covenant and the ushering in of the new with him as the new temple. Interpreting the prophecy as referring to our time is a gross misreading of Scripture and makes a mockery of the first century Christians who suffered greatly for the faith.

Mpenaco, what you fail to understand is that the Tribulation is not the mere persecution of believers, but is the " the wrath of the Lamb," "the great day of his wrath," "the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation," "the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God" (Rev 6:16-17, 14:10, 19:15) upon the unbelievers of this Earth. God will call His "ambassadors" (2 Cor 5:20) home when He declares war of this World (Rev 3:10; 1 Thess 1:10, 5:9-10).

Furthermore, Mpenaco, Jesus is not a temple; He is a flesh and bone person. A temple is a picture of the body in which the Holy Spirit dwells.

The Bible clearly prophesies the regathering of Israel and the rebuilding of a literal Temple in Jerusalem (Dan 9:27; Rev 11:1-2; 2 Thess 2:3-4). The rebuilding of the Temple and the Rapture (1 Thess 4:11-18; 1 Cor 15:51-52) are prophecies that will be fulfilled literally.

The end of times, the end is near, the sky is falling!!! What a terrible way to view the world...in FEAR based on myth. It seems that the Monotheist view is always centered around waiting on a destination, waiting for the Savior, the rapture, Heaven and rarely ever focused on the here and now. If more time was spent concentrating on the REAL problems of the present we may be able to make some great progress in leaving a legacy of peace and prosperity...instead of divisive religious dogmas.

JBClark61,

 The sky is not falling, but the Holy God of all that is will judge Satan and all of his duped followers. "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (2 Cor 4:3-4) Believers do not fear the future, because we know we have a place prepared in Heaven for us (John 14:1-3).

JBClark61, God also says that Satan fools unbelievers "... with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because THEY RECEIVED NOT THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned WHO BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thess 2:10-12)

Jesus said, "I am ... THE TRUTH ...: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me!" (John 14:6)
