  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Absolutely! It's very serious stuff. But it's not part of any biblical timetable that I can see. In fact, I defy anyone to prove a timetable that actually works for anything!

There is no timetable.

When Jesus told people to recognise the signs of the times, he was saying they should have recognised him! Who he was. What that meant. How salvation was going to arrive.

Jesus said to be aware of the signs of the times, which was basically a rebuke against the Jews who should have recognised who he was. That this was the day of the Lord's salvation.

Warnings about an abomination that causes desolation was simply to warn that if Israel did not repent the Romans were coming!

The abomination of desolation was a general reference to Antiochus, that's something horrible would desecrate the temple. The Romans burning it down while sacrificing to the eagle standard as an idol representing Caesar himself fulfils the criteria.

All we know is that the Lord will return one day and judge the living and the dead, and usher in the new heavens and the new earth.

We do not know when.

Your timetables have failed on multiple accounts and have zero credibility.

Your inability to read the Old testament prophets for what they are actually saying actually alarms me more than many things I've read on the internet! I hope nobody here takes anything you say seriously, because it is simply that shocking an example of ripping verses out of their context.
Good post

There is no timetable.
Of this we can be sure: The world cannot continue on like it is forever. Or even for a relative short term.
There has to happen, sometime; a dramatic reset of our civilization. As many civilizations before us have experienced.

We DO have a timetable - it is Gods 7000 year Plan for mankind.
That we are now close to the 6000 year point, is proved by the time periods given to us in the Bible and known historical events. I have posted the series of 47 scriptures and tied them to the 586 BC date of the Babylonian conquest.
This important document has been ignored and dismissed, I can only think why - because people refuse to face up to reality.

The Bible Prophets tell us how Iran, [Persia, Elam, Media] will go to the attack against Israel, Isaiah 21:2 & 22:6, with the chief weapon of their might, Jeremiah 49:35 and then the Lord will destroy them all, Ezekiel 7:14, Zephaniah 1:18
It just isn't an option to reject these plainly stated truths from our Holy scriptures. Anyone who does that is no better that a secular atheist.
