Apocalyptic Thoughts
Apocalyptic Thoughts Amid Nature’s Chaos?
CLEWISTON, Fla. — Vicious hurricanes all in a row, one having swamped Houston and another about to buzz through Florida after ripping up the Caribbean. Wildfires bursting out all over the West after a season of scorching hot temperatures and years of dryness. And late Thursday night, off the coast of Mexico, a monster of an earthquake. You could be forgiven for thinking apocalyptic thoughts, like the science fiction writer John Scalzi who, surveying the charred and flooded and shaken landscape, declared that this “sure as **** feels like the End Times are getting in a few dress rehearsals right about now.” Or the street corner preacher in Harlem overheard earlier this week ranting about Harvey, Irma and Kim Jong Un, in no particular order. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/u...ake-fires.html |

Ole J. Benedictow describes how he calculated that the Black Death killed 50 million people in the 14th century, or 60 per cent of Europe's entire population. The disastrous mortal disease known as the Black Death spread across Europe in the years 1346-53.
Below is a list of famines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famines Futurists focus on "GREATEST" Tribulation. Everything leading up to that are birth pangs. But these birth pangs don't get greater, they fluctuate all over the place. Getting less if you were to place them on an actual graph. Studying out earthquakes, you will find that the record holding earth quake was in Chile May 22, 1960 measuring at 9.4–9.6. Nothing stronger than that one for 57 years, they get less in strength. Nothing ever registering at a 10 or above. Which scientists believe if we were to have an earthquake 10 or above it would compromise the crust of the earth. May possible cause a chain reaction destroying the planet. |
Re: Apocalyptic Thoughts
150 million people died in wars in the last 150 years. The world is not getting better as you might think. We are now in a position of destroying our entire planet at the push of a button.

Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history. At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion. 7.442 billion is the current population of the earth. One push of a button can't get rid of you, therefore it can't destroy the entire planet. You don't preach Good News, you preach Bad News. Sean, do you attend a church? Do they still frown when you show up for service? |

Re: Apocalyptic Thoughts
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. More good news? |

Re: Apocalyptic Thoughts
With all that, some think this....
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. Is irrelevant today. |

You actually love the thought of people being destroyed. May you be at ground zero when an asteroid or Intercontinental missile makes entry. You must be use to people moving down a row when you come to church. |
Re: Apocalyptic Thoughts
9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Not just local places, but random places around the globe. The apostles had no way to monitor these earthquakes, but look who does now.... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...rE-_W3oiTe4TLA The saints today. |

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity....
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Some think that nuclear war is impossible. That is not what I heard last night at the U.N. address. A tiny nation is stressing out the world with it's nuclear weapons. Just wait...... |

Re: Apocalyptic Thoughts
You see, all these prophetical verse I am posting are very relevant to the saints today.
Some have their head in the sand, but some saints are doing this.... And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Our blessed hope is the catching away, before the Great Tribulation. |
Re: Apocalyptic Thoughts
While others say this....
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. These will be the ones facing this.... Revelation 16King James Version (KJV) 16 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. 8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. |

And when these things begin to come to pass in 2,000 years from now then they will look up, not you who I'm speaking to, but them 2,000 years from now. Then they will lift up their heads; for their redemption draweth nigh in 2,000 years from now. |

Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is near. |
Re: Apocalyptic Thoughts
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, Now this is terrifying. I choose to do this..... And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. |

Some teach this will physically never happen to the inhabitants of the earth......
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, Because they don't believe the Bible is factual. |

Re: Apocalyptic Thoughts
What you have viewed is a demonstration of the end time events, being followed by a mocker of the word of God.
I am one that observes the end time signs, to look up for my redeemer and my opponent is one to mock(scoff at) the end time signs and anyone of us that look up.... .And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Nobody has fulfilled this prophecy yet, so keep looking up. |
