These people have a Christian background and will hopefully realize that they just screwed up and get serious about God.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658970201031150831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14351300.post-1139277457456803992006-02-06T19:57:00.000-06:002006-02-06T19:57:00.000-06:00...and people being made to take the mark of the b......and people being made to take the mark of the beastJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611186174799691476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14351300.post-1139277383619685382006-02-06T19:56:00.000-06:002006-02-06T19:56:00.000-06:00It also depends on whether or not you believe in t...It also depends on whether or not you believe in the rapture of the church. If you believe that Christians will be raptured, the there is a lot of Rev that we won't be around on earth to see. However, if you believe that all who are alive on earth will witness the end times, then there more that still needs to happen (i.e. those pesky two witnesses)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611186174799691476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14351300.post-1139277232549241252006-02-06T19:53:00.000-06:002006-02-06T19:53:00.000-06:00I do think that much of the prophetic criteria for...I do think that much of the prophetic criteria for the last days have been or is being met. Two of the ones that, I think, still need to happen are:<BR/>1. I think that Isreal will rebuild the temple. Rev speaks of the stop of sacrifices and offerings and in order for this to have stopped, there must be a temple in place for them to have started at all. Also, Isreal has all the material for the temple, they just need to build it again.<BR/>2. The big one that I think still needs to happen is the coming of the anti-Christ. I know Rev can be symbolic and the end times might not look exactly like John describes it, but it seems there will definatly be a ruler who claims to be like Christ. Daniel, 2 Thess and 1 John speak of this too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for giving me the motivation to go and finish my Rev homework tonight!<BR/>jennyJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611186174799691476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14351300.post-1139258157010163962006-02-06T14:35:00.000-06:002006-02-06T14:35:00.000-06:00Brooke: I heard a story about Bill and Gloria Gai...Brooke: I heard a story about Bill and Gloria Gaither. In the late '60's, the Vietnam war was going on, political figures were being assassinated, and drug use was rampant. The Gaithers had 3 grown children, but were surprised by another pregnancy.<BR/><BR/>They were devastated. At this point in their lives and with all that was going on the world, they hated the idea of their child growing up in such a society. But they prayed about it.<BR/><BR/>And then Bill, inspired by the Spirit, wrote "Because He Lives".Tim Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857824702421873032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14351300.post-1139248043236874672006-02-06T11:47:00.000-06:002006-02-06T11:47:00.000-06:00I, myself, am so ready.

Everyday it seems that I find out that another friend of mine is on the road to destruction. It haunts me. What can I do or say? How did they get to this place? If I have kids, will they fall away too? If God comes now, maybe I won't lose any more friends to Satan and won't have to worry about children.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658970201031150831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14351300.post-1139245178570411312006-02-06T10:59:00.000-06:002006-02-06T10:59:00.000-06:00Israel has indeed had a volatile past.

The experts interpret Revelation and say that an alliance of nations will go to war against Israel and will be winning the war when God supernaturally interveneds, giving Israel the victory.<BR/><BR/>I can't remember whether this is just prior to the 2nd coming or just after. I'll look it up.<BR/><BR/>But with Hamas being voted in and the loose cannon in Iran, this event probably won't be far off.Tim Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857824702421873032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14351300.post-1139243192528835472006-02-06T10:26:00.000-06:002006-02-06T10:26:00.000-06:00I beg to ask this question: Has there been anytim...I beg to ask this question: Has there been anytime in history that someone didn't want to have Israel destroyed?
