Christian End Times Prophesy

[steve_bank]

The world is going to end soon, starting with the early Christians. Just around the corner.


There may be a killer asteroid with our name on it. Gama ray bursts if near enough could fry the Earth.

A powerful gamma-ray burst, designated GRB 221009A, originating from a star explosion nearly two billion light-years away, impacted Earth on October 9, 2022, causing significant disturbances in the upper atmosphere. The burst, known as the "BOAT" (Brightest Of All Time), was the most energetic gamma-ray burst ever recorded and had a lasting effect on the Earth's ionosphere.

Christians constantly spin current events into a biblical prediction of end ties.

noun: eschatology


the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind.

"Christian hope is concerned with eschatology, or the science of last things"

The Bible, particularly in Matthew 24, describes "wars and rumors of wars," earthquakes, and famines as signs that "the beginning of sorrows" is near. These are not the final harbingers of the end but rather "the beginning of birth pains" preceding the arrival of the Lord.

The obvious problem with that is there has always been wars, rumors of wars, and famines.

Then it's time to party like there is no tomorrow!

Back in the 80s when I was in Portland a preacher in south Oregon convinced people the pasture was imminent. They sold hoes and posse ions, and were sitting in a field waiting.

I never understood why they bothered to sell anything.

Harold, good old boy, had a vision and people listened.

My memories go back to the good old days of Garner Ted Armstrong whose specialty was enticing poor old ladies to send him their last few dollars. I even had relatives who did so.

Following your dreams is not always a good idea.

Following somebody else's dreams is almost always a very bad idea indeed.

Garner Ted could spin quite a yarn on the World Tomorrow radio program.

Selling everything and giving away the money demonstrates faith in Jesus, I guess, as when Jesus told the rich boy that in order to get into heaven he had to give away his wealth.

Which is very obviously Jesus' point in that passage. But they can't read, so that does not help them very much.

What ever point there may have been by an alleged Jesus is speculation and interpretation.

Given the Israel-Roman geopolitics of the day the perspective that makes sense of Jesus is a rabbi preaching to his fellow Jews of the looming doom by Rome. Jewish insurrection was in t\he air. The archaeological remains at Masada attest to Jewish militant resistance to Rome.

Ewen an educated person of the day would have no knowledge of geophysics and plate tectonics.

'Was and rumors of war' in context of the times would have meant war with Rome. With war goes famine.

Speakin' of the end times and Garner Ted...it could be that he left us a final prophecy, if you visit his gravesite in the Texas scrub. The Bible verse chosen for the stone is from I Corinthians 15: "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump". Holy smokes, people, think about it. We're in The Last Trump now, and we're on a four-year pathway to the End of the Age. (GTA died in 2003, so this is indeed prophecy and not to be scoffed at.) Where will you be when Melania sounds the Gong of Fate and Donald arrives on clouds of glory, with a giant sword sticking out of his mouth...or, at least, a veiny kielbasa?
I have a wad of creased dollar bills to send, but now I don't know where to send 'em. Garner Ted, reveal yourself!

Well, Trump did survive a head wound, a bullet....which fulfills the prophesy of the Beast in the final days.
