Oh I'm planning for higher education. Otherwise I would not have mentioned college. My health is fine. There isn't 50 or 60 years left!! At least not in the way you think.

You're going to look back at your lack of planning as you exist with a minimal job, no saving, no hope of retiring, just the drudgery brought on by lack of foresight.

Your call
I don't think ANYONE of generation Y has any hope of retiring. Have you seen the economy? Have you seen how much money we owe other nations? Retirement anything is not going to happen until WWIII breaks out.

Ain't gonna be no Armageddon! That's the point! When Jesus returns, he's taking us!! What part of that don't you people understand?!

1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.




In other news, ANOTHER FLOOD!!!!!

Floods force a million Sri Lankans from homes

1 million affected by Sri Lanka floods

Oh and Mount Etna erupted if you didn't know!

Fire in the hole: Italy's Mount Etna roars back to life

STILL THINK JESUS DELAYS HIS RETURN PEOPLE?!!

if he's taking us then why should we concern ourselves with plagues of the earth?

Because other Christians and unbelievers who are living in sin or living worldy lives need to wake up and see what's going on to repent for their sins because his return is near!!! Many people are under some type of delusion that these world catastrophes are normal and it's quite clear that they are not!! These are the birth pains Jesus was talking about that would happen before his return! Alot of people who aren't watching and unrepentant and unbelieving will get left behind!! That is why I stress this!

Mt. Etna (Europe's MOST active volcano) erupted??? I predicted it's eruption about 3 years ago and it has not let me down. It will erupt AGAIN within the next 10-15 years. Just another ho-hum decade for that hot head.

I cannot believe even after the Lord supplied you with dreams and visions you still think he delays his return. I'm choking out little bits of laughter right now but I feel like crying for you on the inside because you are the one who is to feel sorry for. I've read so many visions of people getting left behind Ilene. Many many Christians who thought he wasn't returning found out one terrible moment in time that he did. A terrible revelation. These Christians did not know what to do with themselves. Ilene I do not know why you would risk this but that is your choice. It is your pride that is getting in the way of your faith. You refuse to let God be God. Everything I think will be explained when we get to Heaven. You will understand why some things are the way they are such as eternal torment. But it is not your place to question him right now on the testing grounds which is Earth. This is our test. We must have full faith in him.

Beyond this forum, you know nothing of my life and I have nothing to prove to you about how fun and enjoyable it is. I'm just lucky to be alive and well. Yes, there are things I want to do and I anticipate them but I am going to be on a constant watch me my grandmother and aunt are one of the few people telling my family the same thing. We know what's coming. Jesus IS for his return. If I don't get to do them, who cares?! Not me! This Earth PALES in comparison to what is in Heaven! I haven't been handicapped into believing in anything because my mother actually shares your same views Ilene. I keep warning her as well but she doesn't care. She says the exact same thing. Besides the fact that I am living life. I just put God first!! Lucky for returning. But hey, what can else can you say when folk ignore it? It's not like we stand together before God on judgement day. We all stand alone. I wasn't brainwashed and I sure wasn't indoctrinated into believing anything. I have heard Jesus is coming practically forever. And I never didn't believe it though mind you. I just thought it was going to be some years in the future as well. Until last year when everything started going crazy with the weather. That's what made me wake up. I barely went to church last year and my entire life for that matter. So you can't accuse me of being indoctrinated anything. I have simply listened, read the bible, seen the times, and I KNOW that what he said was true. It does not take a rocket scientist to study this and learn. It requires an open heart, brain power with an ounce of common sense to recognize.
Don't cry for me Argentina, I'm about as happy as a clam. Happy and satisfied in the knowledge that all of my "visions" and "dreams" were misinterpreted thanks to my fear and that I now have the truth. I really don't know what else to say to you dear Allen, you're just a child and I feel like I'm having a conversation with my son.

Yes, the weather is crazy but it's not any crazier than in times past. Yes, there is more terrorism and wars than in times past but it's just more of the same. When I see America come crashing down that's when I'll be really concerned and maybe start preaching doom and gloom again like you're doing but until that time it's all good, no need to worry your pretty little young head. Trust me Allen, we're all ok. Jesus will not be returning this year or any other year in the near future. So, plan YOUR future.

The ironic thing here is, I was Allen (both in state of mind and age) 20+ years ago. I was as paranoid as he was thinking Jesus was coming back any day. I think the Gulf War was going on and further back I was believng the Soviet Union was going to invade Israel at any time and that because nations were joining the European Union, the anit-Christ was near. Let's see, the Soviet Union crashed, the Gulf War ended and the anti-christ is still in people's imagination only and the world is still here.

I'm amused at his paranoia only because I was ONCE there. Of course, he thinks I don't know what I am talking about nor anyone else who has any words of advice for him.
