Do you know that many Bible scholars believe that the 7 year" Great Tribulation" might start this year 2021, and the rapture could happen any time? [Spirituality & Religion]

[b]"The Day of the Lord
…3While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief. 5For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness".…[/b] 1 Thesalonians

@Straylight the fact that we have all these incorrect predictions suggests that the bible was accurate in stating that no one knows the date. Which they dont. But we can speculate as to certain events moving things towards this period. I'm agnostic but a lot of this is really interesting. Look at the similarity of the famous painting of the Tower of Babel and the EU building and consider how similar the goals of both the EU and the alleged builders of the tower of Babel were. Or the fact that klaus Schwab,who fits the 'merchant' description from revelation thinks 'its 2021 and completely normal to wear a robe stood on a podium with the star of Lucifer,the luciferian slogan in latin and golden calf of the hebrews with a crucifix' people totally do that all the time

@pianoplayingsteve I appreciate that you are Agnostic but seem to respect what I consider to be the most authoritative religious text. I know that any person can and will see signs in whatever they personally believe in but I am not without doubts but I have trusted in God and its still what makes the most sense for me today.

@REMsleep I try to keep an open mind, see other people as knowing things I do not, and seeing truth as being of great importance. I take ideas I see as good from all political sides and religions. I don’t assume everything on tv is the absolute truth and declare any disagreement a conspiracy theory. Despite having read a lot of Dawkins and still being a fan, I’ve come to see atheism as being a societal ill. Instead people make themselves god, which in turn makes their hedonistic desires their god, which in turn makes an overreaching government and manipulative media who they become reliant on their god. And then then these two groups abuse that power. At this very moment I believe the media and government are intentionally stirring up racial division, when we should see everyone as children of god

@pianoplayingsteve So you see religions as all equal and being a needed moral compass that perhaps societal evolution manufactured?

pianoplayingsteve · 31-35, M

@REMsleep of course all religions are not equal as they all have different ideas

@pianoplayingsteve My own husband thinks that all religions are equal. I always tell him that he married me under false pretenses 😆

The Coming Day of the Lord

3Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 5For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

8But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
