We're Living In The Last Days

That's the truth and no amount of disbelief will change it. The book of Revelation tells us what God is about to do in the end times. Some may ridicule and mock it as foolishness due to lack of understanding it but they'll never stop the events in this book from happening.


1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants--things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,
2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.
4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,
5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
9 I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
11 saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;
15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;
16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.
18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

Revelation 1:1-20

For those who are being saved, it's the power of God. We look forward to Christ's return and the hope that He brings with Him. Amen.

I agree - and its backed up by Nostradamus prophecies and Egdar Cayce. I have an open mind about these things but read about what these guys predicted in the 1980s - made my own mind up from the quotations and thought this will be interesting to see. Sure enough 2 gulf wars - didnt expect that, the destruction of the Gaza strip - and nuclear world war in 2025 - sorry to say its looking odds on to me - the son will die in London, I now wonder if that meant the European Alliance but if not - it never happened - sorry one still to come - the chamber of records - they are getting closer and closer to admitting they found it - the Eagle coming from America to save France - well we’ll see. Lets not forget a nod for Adam Beilek - his weird view of the future was laughable - but now anti-gravity the weirdest prediciion of all seems to be on the fringe of being a respectable theory - and now Ive discovered the Wheeler theory of everything - the single electron universe, and can see how it can explain just about everything we experience natural and supernatural - and passages formt he bible like God knew us at our birth and our death and every moment through our lives (and the passage also says before we were born but lest not go there - no theory of spiritualism can ever be derived). But we still have free will and we are still helping to build Gods Kingdom. If both are future and our past are fluid then in God’s eyes we are not going forward in time but our lives are like worms wriggling in a time space where both the future and the past are being shaped into a perfection by our creator and where every little choice we ever make is being made and remade again and again to make this happen. All this stuff is not spiritual - its simply the application of the single electron theory of the universe - and it makes more sense than any particle physics every could (it is in essence the single wave function universe model but when seen with particles it suddenly reveals new predictions like the arrow of time can now be abolished because changing the future would change the past of the positrons and the positrons would then sail passed us into the past and change outr past. Not that we would ever know this because our past would remain our past - we’d just have new memories and new injuries and achievements to live with. So when Jesus says we all have free will and can all shape the universe and God says I know every thing about you - which includes when you will die etc etc - that suddenly all makes sense. As a physicist I really like the abolition of the arrow of time - its a simplification that a lot of physicists ponder but no one seems to have picked up on this 50 year old theory. SO there you have - yes its the End of the World as we know it - but Adam Beilek saw a bright future for our descendants.

@Captain people tripping on drugs and\or hallucinating from lack of food said some prophetic inspirations long ago. Todays issues and problems which could be resolved? Never! Lets read some letters posted about figurative overly interpretted jibberish. Fix reality now! Get out of the past. Take a breath and address reality. Or recite dead end nonsense. Its up to us.
Which path do you choose?
Captain · 61-69, M
@jehova DO you even believe in free will - free will is as esoteric as all those other ideas. I have you down as a defensive person, but do you believe you are a person or a bunch of chemicals, a biological robot driven by random biological programming chance and circumstance. Answer mne that one sunshine.
jehova · 36-40, M
@Captain i believe the exchange of free will and "biological programming" have influenced each other forever. I choose to survive and my interactions and experiences are learning opportunities that have allowed adaptation of behavior and biological mechanisms to allow me to survive. I am made of carbon hydrogen and oxygen human words and concepts to conceptualize this reality.
Life has evolved to allow me to have individual choice decision making and thoughts
To determine cause and effect. To learn from my exprriences and decisions.
I am a person my environment allowed for my creation and experience.
My "free will" is limited by an "esoteric" government and human decision making.
Realty.
Captain · 61-69, M
@jehova You cant have free will without metaphysics - simple as - you either accept you are a pre-programmed robot or accept there is something more than physical reality - its just that simple.
jehova · 36-40, M
@Captain as a human my biology is dependant on certain inputs my communication is defined by human systems language and my thinking is limited by its reality. Is life ultimately just carbon based automatns (organisms)? Probably. People seem to believe an omnipotent father figure in the sky created the operating system and its functions and parameters.
I choose to believe no one knows anything absolutely
Captain · 61-69, M
@jehova But withoiut metaphysics there is no variability. We cant measure things but without free will the outcome is inevitable - ther eis no variaiton. The choice ifs for each of us ? I think its comparative to "travel in hope, maybe arriving in disappointment" is thetter than "never hope, arrive to discover the journety could have been an adventure if you had just joined in".
jehova · 36-40, M
@Captain okay and given those assumptions; not much different really a creator other than earth is not necessary it’s a sidestep of testing reality what some might call lazy but long ago when it started was there a choice? a bite of breadand a sip of wine story time or starvation sobriety boredom and solitude
Captain · 61-69, M
@jehova Yes I dont see any possible God in that way. Timeless (ie outside our limited dimensions - but presumably not an occupier of all dimensions otherwise he/she/it to would have no arrow of time either - more as a conductor or a potter shaping the vase of our ten dimensional hyperspace. Did I mention that Ive read they have picked up evidence of a fifth mass related and a sixth possible force of nature. Mathematics says you can only have self consistent symmetry in 3^n+1 dimensions and when 1o dimensional string theory failed to make any testable predictions they started looking at M theory - a theory in 11 dimensions - and still are. Guess what ! They cant get the maths to work. Do physicists and mathematicians ever talk to each other ?? Arrogance is the barrier to understanding, something we should all remember.
jehova · 36-40, M
@Captain okay and further study with fewer predetermined assumptions is the only way forward.
