What End-Timers Really Hope For

What do the "End Timer" Christians really mean when they say they hope for the Rapture, the Second Coming?
Let's see just what is in their Bible about those times.
It isn't nice.

Having read quite a bit about premillennial dispensationalism, and other variants of end times theology, one theme is constantly present. That theme is an utter hatred for this life, and relishing the idea that this life will end. At the heart of all eschatology is an utter contempt for all things in this world. It is a collective form of fatalism, which debases this life. The apocalyptic aspect of religion proves religion is NOT life affirming. This video proves that as well.

[DeltaAtheism]

It is actually worse than that. Many End-Timers believe they have a duty to try to bring forth the end of the world.

It is not coincidence you hear stories of fundamentalist monotheists trying to create unrest in the Middle east and deny things like climate change and environmental sustainability.

End Timers basing random events and natural disaster on the book of revelations prophecy, and when the big one hits, they're get raptured into Gods arms, what a load of nonsense, search youtube for 'The Doomsday Code' documentary and you'll see how scary this is becoming.

I have already watched it. In fact, it triggered the upload of my first video on the End Times - "The End Times - The Believers are a Hazard to our Civilization", which includes part of the ending.

These people have no sense of scale of either the hugeness of space, nor the immense timescales on which astronomical and geological events occur. This, coupled with the inability to deflate their self-importance in the universe, is a great concern. This 'end-time' business is selfish at heart.

The audio is fugged. I am straining to understand what is being said.

@MeltedPearls: I'll leave you with this: "There is no I in TEAM!", "That's true. There's also no WE, but there is ME and it can also spell MEAT and TAME!"

[MeltedPearls]

@DeltaAtheism This is certainly true, and there is a significant number of quieter, less-vocal people who have suffered at the hands of these kinds of individuals. That happens more often than public abuses, in my opinion. Someone close to me admitted that pre-Vatican II, all his Catholic education was based on this idea of shameless superiority. It's also prevalent in predominant religious/political groups, like the Southern Baptist Convention.

We are all susceptible to it, however.

[MeltedPearls]

@RyuDarragh Agreed. I never let myself off the hook in this, but examine my own motives and tendencies mercilessly. It is the only way to combat that sense of entitlement that is our birthright in the U.S., at least.

Consumerism is the real religion for most of us, unless we decide otherwise, which we can and still choose very often. There are lots of "we" in the world, after all. I decide which I will be. Makes me stronger to resist commercialism, in all things, esp. church.

[DeltaAtheism]

Terry still has quite a following, and worse, he ran - but fortunately lost - for a seat in the Senate, in Florida, I believe.

I know little of American politics, but I do know THAT would give him an opportunity to do some real damage.

The problem is these fundamentalists are taught from birth that they are superior and that everyone else is to be overridden. I know people who grew out of cults - one from the infamous Westboro Church - and they are essentially told that they alone have rights.

[RyuDarragh]

@MeltedPearls: Some folks feel lost if they aren't the center of attention or considered the most important thing in the universe. Infantile abandonment issues coupled with narcissistic tendencies, some would say.

[MeltedPearls]

@mrlurp I'm one and I don't, not at all. Nothing could be further from the truth, whether a person believes or not, and no matter who or what he or she is or identifies himself or herself as. That's the truth, for me.
