The end of the world

[Jazzy]

How many times has the world been predicted to end according to Bible prophecy?

Why do some people continue to believe in these predictions despite them not coming true?

 

[Manonfire63]

Nothing new happens under the sun. (Ecclesiastics 1:9-11)


In understanding the Bible, there are layers to things. Layers like in the Atmosphere. On the bottom layer, we may have something physical. On the way up, we have allegories.

The End of the World may be The End of a Matrix of Lies.

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light

Darkness is lies. Satan was known as the Prince of Darkness, the Lord of Lies. Given a man was lied to, and he believed the lie, for a time, he may have been "In the Dark." A lot of lies could create a Matrix of Lies.

Mankind is like God's Vineyard. He rented it out to some tenant farmers. These Tenant Farmers were teachers of religious law. A teacher of religious law may have shaped how man perceived himself, shaped how man perceives God. This could create a Matrix of Lies.

The Greeks and Romans perceived the world in a particular way. Christianity changed how people perceived. The Aztecs perceived the world a particular way. Christianity changed how they perceived.

Post- World War II, a world has been built by Academics and the Media. This may be a "Secular Humanist" world that was Pro-UN. Is that world coming down?

A lot of people were in Post-Cold War Complacency, going about their life, in their routines. Covid hit. They were disrupted. That may have been a wake up call for something really ugly that is about to happen.

We live in a world where fruit picked in Chile could be canned in Thailand, and the jeans someone wears, the parts of those jeans may have been made in 5 different countries. Given there was a world destabilizing event, like a Great Depression, or something leading to it, where the US Navy could not, for some reason, perform its function of peace keeper of the seas, the world would come to an end.

How many times has the world been predicted to end according to Bible prophecy?

Why do some people continue to believe in these predictions despite them not coming true?

Quite a few I'm sure.

We believe it because Bible prophecy is woven throughout the Bible, and is to be believed.

Prophecies concerning 'end time events' or the 'Last days', will occur or be fulfilled only once...at the end. But all the while Satan is busy trying to form the nations to receive his man the antichrist. And at times the conditions described as existing in the end times, seem to exist then, causing some to conclude that the end is near.

It doesn't make them wrong in recognizing certain conditions as end time characteristics. Nor does it mean Bible prophecy can't be trusted just because it didn't happen at that time.

No matter how well Satan has constructed things to set up his kingdom, it is God Who is the final word as to when. In other words, Satan doesn't know the 'when'. He can only have things ready at the right moment to inject his man of sin into power. Thus in every generation, Satan has a man ready. There is a man somewhere today in the world who is Satan's man.

So, these things will come true. The 'when' is up to God alone. But we watch.

[Manonfire63]

The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. (Isaiah 57:1)

There is your rapture. Was someone of the world? They may have been evil. They may have sat in Church. They may have been evil, loving life and things of this world.

What is the Evil referenced? It may be living through some of the things referenced in Isaiah 57. It may be War, Famine, and Plague in God's Judgement. Nothing new happens under the sun.

 

[Manonfire63]

War, Famine, and Plague are something God has done. Israel and Judah were fallen and wicked Nations. (Ezekiel 16) God's Judgement of War, Famine, and Plague were unleashed on Israel and Judah. (Ezekiel 5:17)(Jeremiah 24:10)

War, Famine, and Plague were in the Old Testament. God sent Prophet Jonah to Nineveh. Nineveh was a city of Assyria. God sent Jonah to warn them that God's Judgement may come. God is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He judges Kings and Nations.

War, Famine, and Plague are in the Book of Revelations. Some of what John was witnessing in his vision was a process. There may be a complete fulfillment of that process on the entire world, which may look like the Book of Daniel. (Daniel 12) Christianity needed to be spread around the World first. Everyone who has access to the internet has access to the Bible. There may have been a process where certain seals were opened. The process may not have come to some sort of conclusion.

Similar to God's Judgement being sent on Israel and Judah, was Eastern Rome or Russia just prior to the Communist Revolution, were they doing something where they were supposedly Christian Nations who had War, Famine, and Plague unleashed on them? I can point someone onto somethings. Something was going wrong. Since the fall of Rome how many Christian Nations have fallen to non-Christians? Such a thing suggests God's Judgement.

How many times has the world been predicted to end according to Bible prophecy?

Why do some people continue to believe in these predictions despite them not coming true?

How many times has it been accurately predicted according to Bible prophecy? None.
How many times has it been inaccurately predicted according to Bible prophecy? Who knows.

Why do people believe them? Probably for the same reasons people believe the nutjobs in any other field. When Jesus clearly said not even he knows when the second coming is, the chances are it's not hidden in some secret code that we can figure out if only we suspend our disbelief and follow some self-proclaimed profit prophet.

 

[Albion]

Some of the Scriptural indicators of the end being at hand suggested to a few people living in earlier days that the appointed time was very near.

However, there have been many other people who drew similar conclusions about their own lifetimes and, as we know, none of their predictions were correct. As a result, most Christians these days are content not to try to date the end with such specificity.

Are you saying the Bible doesn't accurately predict the end times and end of the world as we know it, and therefore studying prophecy and believing it in the Bible is for nut jobs?

If so, I disagree.

Seriously? You took that away from my post?

Jesus said that even he doesn't know the exact time of the end, so it's safe to conclude that any mere mortal who thinks they know is blowing smoke. Let's face it, we're not going to know more about Jesus' return than Jesus, right?

The Bible gives us precisely nothing to date the end. We can see seasons but can't know the day or the hour.

Even knowing seasons is clearly of limited use, given the Thessalonians of nearly 2000 years ago thought it was nigh. The simple reality is that we just don't know exactly when the end will come.

Whenever The End in an eschatological sense may occur, we also have no way of knowing when The End in a personal sense will occur. Even if I could know with absolute certainty that Jesus Christ would come back on June 14 of this year I have no guarantee that I'll still be alive by then.

You'd almost be forgiven for thinking Jesus was onto something with all that stuff about being ready and not knowing when the master will return.

Yes, that appears to me what you said.

Nothing was said in the opening post about the 'exact time'.

The reference in Scripture you refer to is (Matt. 24:36). But, again, does that mean we don't believe and study Bible prophecy? That is what the opening post was asking. "Why do some people continue to believe in these predictions despite them not coming true?"

I believe these prophecies, though they have not yet come true. Do you? Do you believe we as Christians should study these prophecies? Why did God give them? If we can't know...what good are they? Lot of wasted space in the Bible if it is not for us to know.

Actually, Jesus said it is not for His disciples to know the seasons either. (Acts 1:7) Now what?

Consider that Jesus in (Matthew) and (Acts) was during and at the end of His ministry on earth. He then left to be at the right hand of the Father. And guess what? The Father gave Jesus a revelation which Jesus was unaware of before. That is why it's called a revelation. (Rev. 1:1) "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass..."

Thus, just because Jesus didn't know during His earthly ministry, doesn't mean He doesn't know now, as God revealed these things to Him. And He in turn revealed them to John. (Rev. 1:1)

(Rev. 1:3) 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 at hand." Appears that John was expecting the return of Christ...doesn't it?

Again, do you believe the prophecies? How do you believe them if you don't know them or study them?

I think God is the only one who knows when the world will end. So, I am more focused on myself and what I can control instead of trying to figure out when the world will end.

Besides, if the world doesn't end for another 1,000 years (hypothetically speaking) then why does it matter if the world ends at that time or not? I'm not going to be alive to see it....

I believe God the Father knows the time when He will set the end days in motion which will culminate in the 'end'. (Matt. 24:36) But, again, I believe the Father has revealed this to the Son. (Rev. 1:1) "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him...."

No one is asking you to know the 'exact' time these things will occur. But in the Bible God has revealed the things that will occur in those last days. And such revelations from God should be studied. And if the times are paralleling what is revealed in Bible prophecy as 'end times', then it is not wrong to make such comparisons.

You don't know that the world will last another 1000 years. You say, "I'm not going to be alive to see it". You don't know that. Some generation will be alive to see it. You don't know that you will not see it. You don't know that this may be the generation that sees it.

And in studying Bible prophecy, this may well could be that generation.

Any Bible believing Christian that studies their Bible well knows that prophecy God has given in His Word does and has... come true, just as written. How many even know that David in Psalms 22 was give to prophesy the very words Lord Jesus would say upon His cross, "Eli, Eli, sabachthani?" in Matthew 27:46? Psalms 22 even mentioned several other things Jesus would suffer on His cross. And that prophecy was given about a 1,000 years before it happened!

Likewise with Bible prophecy about the end of this world, God's Word has given that too but the blind cannot grasp it because one must study their Bible to know about it.

Jesus gave us the 7 main signs of the END leading up to His future return in His Olivet discourse, which are the signs of the Seals of Revelation 6. And His Book of Revelation is given to His servants so as to understand the signs of the END also leading up to His future return. So if someone is having trouble understanding Him, then they should get busy in study of His Word more for theirself instead of relying on men's traditions.

I meant in my original post that I'm not worried about what I can't control and I can't control when the world might end. I am more about what I can control and that is living my life to be the best Christian that I can be until that day comes.

Yes, brother, Revelation 13:11 states that the MAN Beast of the earth, who has two horns like a lamb(a false lamb, a false messiah-John 5:43-47 combined with 2Thessalonians 2:3-4 and 9-12), who speake as a dragon, he will perform awesome signs and deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he has power to do.
Revelation 13:11-14KJV
11 And I beheld another Beast (a 2nd Beast)coming up out of the earth; and he has two horns like a lamb(a false lamb, as above described), and he speaks as dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first (MAN) Beast before him(the Gentile Beast of the sea), and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first Beast, whose deadly wound was healed. --> (John saw that one of the 7 heads of the Beast of sea it were wounded to death-Revelation 13:2, take a look)

13 And he- the MAN Beast of the earth - doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he has power to do in the sight of the Beast(of the Beast of sea); saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the Beast(of sea), which had the wound by a Sword(as is written in Revelation 13:2), and did live.

The prophecy above of the book of Revelation will LITERALLY be fulfilled from now on.

Get ready, the time is of War - Revelation 11:15 and 18, take a look.

May our Lord GOD bless us, and keep us, and give us His protectionAmen

Dialogue between Jews and JESUS: John 8KJV

JEWS said: - We be Abraham's seed,...John 8:33KJV
- JESUS said: - I know that ye are Abraham's seed...John 8:37KJV (Positive, they really are seed of Abraham)

JEWS said: - Abraham is our father.... John 8:39KJV
- JESUS said:- If ye were Abraham's children...John 8:39KJV (If ???? hum!!! Were not they Abraham's children? Are the Jews Abraham's seed, but not Abraham's children?) (This is something hard to understand)


JEWS said: - We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. John 8:41KJV
- JESUS said: - If GOD were your Father...John 8:42 (again If???? hum!!!)
- JESUS said to the Jews: Why do ye not understand my speech? John 8:43
- JESUS openly and emphaticaly said to the Jews: Ye are of your father the Devil..., John 8:44. -
By the way, in Revelation 12:9 , JESUS said:
9 - And the great Dragon (the red Dragon) was (will be) cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was (will be) cast out into the earth, and his messengers were cast out with him.

By the way, "red Dragon" is the new name of the Devil in this current time of Apocalypse.- Revelation 12:9

Be careful with the red Dragon -

===============The glory which shall be revealed-->IN US=============

Romans 8:18-21:
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of GOD.-->John 1:12.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same IN HOPE,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of GOD.

Philippians 3:20-21:
20 For our conversation is in heaven(heaven?Ephesians 1:3-8, take a look); from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall CHANGE our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto himself.-->Matthew 28:18

NOTE: The work above to be make by our Lord JESUS from now on, it is not a magic, but a process, understand? This present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed IN US us from now on, "for unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance"->Matthew 25:29 combined with 1Corinthians 15:51-55:

51 ... We shall not all sleep, but WE shall all be CHANGED,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye(within the last 7 years-Daniel 12:10-12), at the last trump (Revelation 11:15-18):for the Trumpet shall sound (the Power of own Scriptures-the Word of GOD, the Word is GOD, the Old and New Testaments-Revelation 11:3), and the dead shall be raised incorruptible (Isaiah 26:19-21,take a look, please), and WE shall be CHANGED.
53 For this corruptible MUST PUT on incorruption, and this MORTAL MUST PUT on immortality.-->Luke 20:35-36, take a look, combined with 1Thessalonians 4:15-17;
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. -Halellujah!-
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Matthew 28:18-JESUS said: All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. And more: Whosoever liveth and believeth in me as the Scripture hath said, shall NEVER die. Believest thou this?
John 5:39-40: -> 39 Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have ETERNAL life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

1Thessalonians 4:14-17:-> 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will GOD bring with him.-> (The Word is GOD, GOD Himself, self-executing, understand?)
15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord with the trump of GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds(in the environment of the 3rd heaven -2Corinthians 12:1-4, take a look - which will be established from now on-Luke 20:35-36), to meet the Lord in the AIR(in the NEW HEAVEN, higher than the current heaven (according to the Luke 20:35-36 combined with Revelation 11:15-18, take a look) within of the which we are living for now-Ephesians 1:3-8, take a look): and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Job 22:21-30
21 Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth(Matthew 4:4), and lay up His words in thine heart.
23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir(Genesis 2:11and 10 combined with 1Kings 18:40-46) as the stones of the brooks.
25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto GOD.
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
28Thou shalt also decree a thing,and it shall be established unto thee:and the light shall shine upon thy ways.-> Matthew 25:6-7.
29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent("shall deliver one who is not innocent"Torah): and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands("and he will be delivered because of the purity of your hands."Torah)

May our Lord GOD BLESS us and keep us, and give us His protection
Amen

... Some generation will be alive to see it ...

Yes, that is why every generation after you, however few, will be grateful to God that you were able to explain to them how Holy Spirit works for us as described both before and after Jesus' Ascension. That is why the same present eschaton began that Thursday afternoon and is continuing until the very last moment when-so-ever that might come.

The principles in history now are the same as those ever were and ever shall be; the proportions and hence concrete details, vary in practice from one moment to another depending on cultural fluctuations. We can all and Christ instructed us to, partake in discernment for our personal selves first. It was never silly to think the end in any sense "near" because we have always had to relate honestly to and give generously to our children's generation, who have to live in the same world.

The core immediate practical point in Daniel is the example he sets in ch 9 vv 3-21 where he offers "repentance" (if it were possible) by proxy for his forebears and betters in religion who had given the material level in culture spiritual force ("what you bind on earth is bound in heaven") by their overbearing attitude. The entire Bible is a diatribe against bad religion, which is a quality.

Just to add to chances to confuse us, many of the overbearing ones pretend to show concern to end times, to Holy Spirit, to Scripture meanings, to what church authority "ought to" mean, etc, that's why it's the duty of each of us to personally double check through the whole of Scriptures and get these in best realism. Jesus taught to watch in order to pray.

Wise denominations and traditions consistently showcased and showcase a wide variety and large quantity of Scriptures in their services, to help us live providentially among those around us. This surely places in perspective the productions of the equivocators about the NT. And overbearing pastors have always accused themselves by not very indirect implication, if we would be alert to it.

 

[Oseas3]

Wicked men are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm. Proverbs 12:7

Around two thousand years ago, Paul Apostle wrote: 2Peter 3:7-8:->7 But the heavens and the earth which are now(1st and 2nd heavens-OT&NT-Ephesians 1:3-8, take a look, the 3rd heaven will be established from now on ->Luke 20:35-36 combined with 1Corinthians 15:24-27 and Revelation 11:15-18), by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment(the Judgment Seat of Christ), and perdition of ungodly men. --> The Day of Judgment arrived, that is the seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium.


-->(Just to compare times: Our Lord JESUS, the Greater Light, He came in the fourth Day, or around 4000 years after Adam, Genesis 1:16, the Greater Light, and He left very clear, saying: My Father worketh hitherto, and I work-John 5:17, So we are living at the turn from the sixth to the seventh and last Day, the Lord's Day, and the condenation and ETERNAL punishment is from now on, it has time to begin, but NEVER end, it's for ever. Terrible, very terrible, as our Lord JESUS said: Luke 17:28-30, take a look.;


8 Beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one Day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one Day.

GOD the Father revealed through JESUS: Revelation 11: 3 - 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, ...

How do we compare the size of the operational Power that was given to the two witnesses before now, i.e. before this current time of Apocalypse, and the Power that now is, and the Power that will be given from now on? Yeah, how to compare?

Trying to compare humanly, or by allegory, a proportional measure of the size of the operational Power that was, and is, and will be given from now on to the two witnesses, I would say, taking the size as a metric number, for example:
The Old Testament - the operational Power was 10;

The New Testament - the operational Power is 100 --> (ten times more than the OT);
and from now on, in this seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium,

The Old Testament and New Testament, now even both, the operational Power given unto both is 1000 --> (ten times more than the Power of the NT has been until now);

The Power will be given to the true believers of the Jewish Church and Gentile Church, the two Candlesticks annointed by the oil of the two Olive trees -The Old Testament and the New Testament - , and "These -THE TWO CANDLESTICKS - , have power to shut heaven(to close the Dispensation of Grace-END of the current Dispensation-Matthew 24:14), that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood(severe punishments-> waters are peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues), and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will (the time now is of Vengeance-2Thessalonians 1:7-12-take a look.

From 2025 henceforward the world as a whole will be burned with everlasting fire->2 Peter 3:7, but the true believers need not to worry-our glorious GOD guarantees -> "Isaiah 43:2 --> When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the Lord thy GOD, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: 5 Fear not: for I am with thee.


2Peter 3:7 - But the heavens (OT and NT-Hebrews 8:13, take a look) and the earth(the current rebel Israel, the clay, the dry land), which are now, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment (the Judgment Seat of Christ) and perdition of ungodly men.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Get ready - Matthew 25:6 and 10
