If we are in the End Times...

[Dave G.]

Yes, we've been in the end times since Pentecost.

And God the Father is at the helm, when He says drop the sails ( so to speak), it will happen then and not a day before or after. Meanwhile we are a witness and testimony in this fallen world, there are souls to be witnessed to.. Every generation since Pentecost has had reasons to think their generation was the one but we march forward, don't stall out now.

Do you think we are in the End Times?

If yes, what do you make of the following:

"...in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Lots of millennials are living with their parents. So take that.

I believe that this end times or modern disease is called Narcissism and is everywhere and growing.
If you go to the shopping centre you will see little Johnny to good Screaming and ranting and raving. And then you will see his mom and dad bowing down to him and treating him like a God. And little Johnny to good grows up to be a monster and every one says , why is he like this ? like hello!!

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for a]">[a]all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, b]">[b]pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:3-14 (NKJV)

Wars and rumours of wars -check
Many saying I am the Christ - check, ut I think there will be more
Nation rise against nation - check
Famines, pestilence and earthquakes - check, particularly earthquakes which have increased immensely over the last 100 years or so.

How I feel at the moment, if Jesus comes back tomorrow its too late, today would be better.

we've been in the end times for the past 2000 years, Christ himself said "I am coming soon" clearly his perspective is a little different.

Some people feel He already came and we are all barking up the wrong tree.

I'm not one of those people, I'm also not barking.

Indeed.

If 1000 years is as a day, the last 2000 least could be the Last (2) Days...

I'm wondering though on the "avoid such people" aspect more...

 

[Dave G.]

I'm not one of those people, I'm also not barking.

But I guess to them He "came soon" even in human terms.

It is our responsibility to show that we do not approve of degeneracy. Thus we should not associate with immoral people who subscribe to a lifetime of public degeneracy.

Think about it: Jesus' reputation was tarnished because he hung around tax collectors and prostitutes. However Jesus was perfect and thus he was able to handle being associated with them. We are not perfect so we must hang around with people who are a good influence.

Another way to think about it: imagine if you started hanging around with a famous inappropriate contentstar. You talk on live stream with her, she teases you with innuendos and you go along with it. Somehow it gets out that you're a Christian. Bam everyone associates you and Christianity with inappropriate content stars and inappropriate content. You've just tarnished God's reputation along with His people. And not only that but you will get inside her friend's circle, meet immoral people, they will influence you, and temptations will arise.

Above situation is just a goofy scenario that I used to make a point. Preach to people but DO NOT ASSOCIATE.

Avoid such people." (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

People have been saying "we are in the end times" since, I dunno, forever. Not sure when it started. Someone told me that 1,000 A.D., when it was approaching, that would be doomsday.

I think if we are to avoid such people... we would have to spend a lot of time on our own... or in small groups...LOL

are you one of these people?

I think I would have to start avoiding myself

Regarding small groups - Matthew 22:14 Matthew 7:14

 

[Dave G.]

are you one of these people?

No.

My response was meant to be light, sorry to have bothered you...

Humans have always been that way.

Nobody can honestly deny the push for world government that has occurred during the last 100 years.

The following is a meeting of the World Federalist Association where former CBS newsman Walter Cronkite voices his support of world government.
At the end the woman who almost became president of the United States congratulates Cronkite.

.

We should all be pushing for one world government, of the people and for the people. That's what The Kingdom of Heaven will eventually bring.

It's no longer just YOUNG people.

Today immaturity has no age limit.
