[Sean]

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 are a nutjob.

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.

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....

That was prior to the great destruction of Jerusalem. Sorry, but earthquakes were going to be felt by His audience. The rumors of wars were those of the Roman Empire coming to quell uprisings in Judea. Agabus had received the gift of prophecy, and predicted a severe famine which the author of Acts says occurred during the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius. Also, according to Acts 21:10-12, 'a certain prophet', (Greek: τις) named Agabus met Paul the Apostle at Caesarea Maritima in 58 AD. Jesus is speaking of the unrest in the Roman world which His followers would soon see. Matthew 27:51-54 a great earthquake, Matthew 28:2, a great earthquake rolls away the stone of the tomb. Acts 4:31 a prayer meeting in Jerusalem and a earthquake. Acts 16:26 a great earthquake shook the jail. Everything happened just as Jesus said it would.

Stop interpreting the Bible with the Newspaper.

Bible interprets Bible.

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;

.....A forecast of the most frightening and uncontrollable event that mankind could imagine.

The nations are living in fear of complete annihilation.

This is because of nuclear power, which only happened in our generations.
