Hello Boomer Comrades,

I am not trying to start a heated discussion or anything. I am working on a study about the subject of the end times and I wanted to take that from some frequently asked questions, or some thoughts here.

If it makes you feel more comfortable, you may send me a private message.

Cheers and God Bless,
Cathi

I feel we are in the end times right now with all the crazy stuff happening in the world. Just that no one knows when the Lord will return. Wish it were today!!!! You wonder how long he'll let things go like this?

Cathi: Matthew 24 talks about the signs of the times before Christ's return.

Wars, famine, plagues, earthquakes, etc. are all signs of the times. False prophets deceiving many are included here too.

But one of the most important clues for me is that Christ predicted that the gospel should be preached unto all nations before the end (see verse 14).

This has almost been accomplished. The gospel is now being preached by so many means and in so many languages... there are not many places left in the world that have not heard the gospel. So that for me is a clear sign that Christ's return is not too far away.

Of course, no one can predict a certain date, only God knows when the day shall be (v. 36). But we ought to live ready for Him.

Mammajude-one thing Jesus promised is to shorten these terrible days out of love for his children,(see Matthew 24: 22).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies. I was beginning to think that perhaps this was too controversial or something.

I definitely believe that we are in the final generation. I also believe that anti-christ comes first, then the Real Christ comes.

Yes, the time is shortened for the sake of His children. This is how good this son of perdition is going to be.

Even though rapture is not written in The Bible, do any of you believe in the rapture? If so, why?

Thanks and Cheers,
Cathi

I have been taught that we were in the end times all of my life. And there has been ample Scriptural evidence every since I can remember.

But I don't really think much about the end times because I see no end. I believe all of the Scriptures that tell of the end times are true of about any time in history.

Instead I believe in an eternity that never begins and never ends and is going on now and has always been and always will be. I try to live every moment as a part of that eternity attempting to live eternally in heaven.

But that's just me.

Dear Smile

As God is within and God is love...the alpha and the omega constantly becoming one...we are all moving toward oneness with love. The love is the eternity and within that love death does not exist...fear does not exist...within that knowledge...the end times and revelation speak only of physical happenings that again have been repeated throughout history as generations change...nations change and life changes...some with catastrophic effects. However when we all see through love then the prophecies cease to be.

The problem with the prophecies is not really the prophecies themselves...it is the physical application of the mind's perception that only sees with physical eyes and not with spiritual eyes. There are many layers of consciousness...there is a mental consciousness...an emotional consciousness, a spiritual consciousness and a physical consciousness.

In most cases when scripture is studied the scriptures are seen only through physical eyes which means through man's understanding, through the mind that sees fear and good.

If scriptures are studied through spiritual eyes or through spiritual understanding what is seen is love. What is written in the bible is not seen through fear.. but through love and thus love is born again and the prophecies cease to be...for in fact it is only the energy of our belief that serves fear and perpetuates it until events happen.

The nature of God and the universe is one of a consciousness of love and within that energy desecration, death and fear do not exist. It is only in man's vibration and energy that these trauma's exist. Why? Because we see through physical eyes never having had the experience to see through spiritual eyes, a consciousness...an energy that does not know or see death.

I loved your post Smile

With love
Leigha

Leigha,
Your post is so well written. You must think and feel deeply.
How did you come to those understandings?

Dear Smile

I have spent the last 16 years studying energy and consciousness, and how different feelings are linked to different consciousness. Within the universe and world we live in hundreds of thousands of energies exist, all with a corresponding consciousness as consciousness contains energy or it wouldn't exist. There is a subatomic aspect to the particles of thought that breed action and reaction within our lives and each and every thought is connected to a feeling and corresponding emotion.

Through years of studying energy and feeling it from an empathic perspective and studying the underlying aspects of energy from a physics perspective I have come to understand consciousness in relationship to our body's reactions and our emotional reactions and how we are all moved by energy sometimes without our own consent.

Also through the study of religions and zen and the opening of the mind from the energetic aspects many of my understandings have come into being.

Basically, too simplify it I wanted to understand why there was pain and why people hurt each other and I wanted to save my life having faced death for many years due to environmental poisoning. That is what motivated me. It was my path toward healing.

Have a lovely day Smile!

With love
Leigha

When Jesus came, He was fulfilling prophesies and there were some who read the spiritual signs and found Him. But keep in mind that most, especially the clergy, were expecting the fulfillment of physical signs -- that he would be an actual king with a sword to slay the enemies of the Jews, so they rejected Him. As Leigha says, scripture ought to be read with spiritual eyes ("eyes that see")
