What Does The Near Future Hold For People?

[goodlife]

Bible prophecy gives us a window through which we can see major events that will affect all of us. One prophecy in particular allows us to see what some of the most powerful governments on earth will do. (Revelation 11:7)

[Khandro]

Actually, if you were to accept the 'whole enchilada' of fundamental Christianity, he was neither Jew, Gentile nor anything else, - he was the immaculately-conceived son of God. :0)

[naomi24]

If you believe that you’ll believe anything.

[Peter Pedant]

erm sozza boys and gurlz
to accept the whole enchilada.... you have to know the whole enchilada
and ( clicks tongue very regretfully and looks sorry) it is obvious that you dont

immac son of God is NOT exclusive if being a Jew ( or Gentile) - but surely you learnt this?
AND
His humanity is shown by such things as the Feast of the Circumcision Jan 6th I think
and um you know at the end - being crucified
jesus as a christian might say

[Khandro]

PP //His humanity is shown by such things as the Feast of the Circumcision Jan 6th I think//

As is often the case, you think wrongly.

[DTCwordfan]

This question about being prescient ought to be put to Nicola sturgeon....

OOPs ! wrong thread

[nailit]

Biblical last times scenarios been going on for as long as Biblical last times scenarios texts exist.
eg wars and famine..
Would be a bit more convincing if moon walks would have been mentioned, or man communicating with man face to face (ie, video calls)
Or any mention of a global disease,
Or any mention of of anything that we now take for granted in place of wars and famine which the ancient world ALWAYS experienced.

Utter codswallop!
Nostrudamus debunked time and again.
Biblical prophecy, must be true?
They are the same thing...
Bunk!!

[nailit]

The Tyre prophecy....
Never happened.
(unless through some really tortuous twists and turns)

Drying up of the Nile....
Never happened.
(unless through some really tortuous twists and turns)

Ad infinitum re Bible prophecies....

Just like the prophecies of Nostradamus they are a croc.
And remain a croc!

(and if you wish me to hell because I cannot believe in this croc, then that says more about you and your sick beliefs than it does about me, )

[archibaldy]

I can't imagine the first preacher to read Revelation to the congregation to get the willies up them was saying "but you lot don't need to worry, this is all going to happen in two millenniums in the year 2022", no he was laying it on like it will happen next week, just like the OP.

[Khandro]

//Drying up of the Nile....
Never happened.//

It's already started, & the Egyptians are mad as hell about it.

[archibaldy]

Some are but others are in denial.

[mibn2cweus]

^ boom boom

[naomi24]

Khandro, //It's already started,//

That's not true. Ethiopia has built a dam which is limiting the water flowing into Egypt. The river isn't drying up and at 4000 plus miles long, the longest river on earth, it's highly unlikely to.

[goodlife]

I thought this is very good for you lot Luke 6

''Happy are you when men hate you and when they ostracize you and twit you and proscribe your name as vile on account of the Son of Man. 23 On that day be glad and dance, for your reward in heaven is great; for their fathers did the same sort of things to the prophets. 24 Woe to you that are rich though, because you have had your comforting. 25 Woe to you that are filled now, because you shall be hungry. Woe, you that laugh now, because you shall mourn and weep. 26* Woe when all men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same sort of thing to the pretended prophets.

27 “But I tell you who hear me, love your enemies, do good turns to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who do spiteful things to you; 29 to him who cuffs you on the cheek offer the other cheek too, and from him who takes away your cloak do not withhold your shirt either; 30 give to everybody who asks you, and do not demand your things back from the one who takes them; 31 and as you would have men do to you, do likewise to them. 32 And if you love those who love you, what credit is it to you? for sinners too love those who love them. 33* And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? sinners too do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is it to you? sinners too lend to sinners to receive payment in full. 35 But do love your enemies, and do good and lend without hoping to get any payment; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be tenderhearted, as your Father is. 37 And do not be judging, and you shall not be judged; and do not condemn, and you shall not be condemned. Release and you shall be released; 38* give and you shall have gifts given to you; good measure, pressed in, shaken down, running over, they will give into your lap. For the measure that you measure out shall be measured back to you.”

[naomi24]

//I thought this is very good for you lot//

You're over-thinking it, Goodlife.

[goodlife]

Well actually, it upbuilds my faith to know that you are all fulfilling Bible prophecy.

[naomi24]

Lovely! Just think how excited you'll be when we're all dead and gone. Happy days.

[Khandro]

naomi: //That's not true. Ethiopia has built a dam which is limiting the water flowing into Egypt. The river isn't drying up and at 4000 plus miles long, the longest river on earth, it's highly unlikely to.//

I used to think like that until I learnt & realised just how much evaporation takes place from that expanse of water in dams in that heat, it amounts to thousands of cubic meters being extracted.

So when I say "it's started" I'm correct, & the Egyptian really are angry, to say the least.

[naomi24]

I know they're angry - but the river isn't 'drying up'. That's nonsense.
