I never saw a Christian online who said it wouldn't end in my lifetime. Just why? The world has been in the same sinful state for thousands of years, why does it have to end now? It's not fair. I have a lot of cool stuff to do on this Earth before I earn my spot in Heaven and if the world were to end tomorrow, I'd never achieved anything. I'm such a miserable Christian.

TRy Matt 24, Luke 21 and 2 Tim 3. Read each chapter. Then Rev 11:18.

Then let us know what you think?

I, of course, do not actually know when the world will end. However, due to the melting polar ice-caps, the explosion of the world population, and the fact the the last/latest world empire has become an oligarchy or plutocracy - I don't think the world system as it is now will stand much longer. That's just the way I see it. Others speak of a coming "Golden Age" that they think will be literal and still a mortal existence. I do not have all the afterlife or (after my life) figured out since it remains veiled to us what it will actually be like. I have never believed in a person being put in a mortal body more than once.

What God has prepared for those who love Him and what He has in store for the creation is nothing compared to what we could ever experience here in this life, gousa14. God bless.

Is the world going to end in my lifetime?

The world, as you know it, will end - when you die.

nothing is a guarantee, not even tomorrow. so do something TODAY in this life. and as for the Earth ending, it not yours or mine to end, nor did you or I started it. those are the fact, enjoy the time that we do have, while you can. as to when it will ends no one knows but God. and he's not talking about it. I just hope that your life is in Christ Jesus, for he is our hope, after all of this, and then you might achieve what you're lacking. this earth, and these heavens will pass away, but God want. so be happy in the Lord, now, and then.

peace

The world is not going to end in your lifetime, but it may begin.


The Earth is in bondage as we are in bondage, the entire creation is in bondage, but the Earth will be set free when the kingdom will be returned to Israel and this continues a thousand years if a thousand means a thousand.

What was different about Jesus when he was resurrected?

He had become able to be a part of the entire Earth.

He came to his disciples and disguised himself, he didn't look like the Jesus who they knew, he could look anyway he wanted to look, and why?

Because he could be anyone.




The goal is not to gain salvation, the goal is to win the prize of being an over comer, the multitudes have salvation, but what is promised to the over comer?

Jesus says that what his father promised to him, he also promises to his over comers and what are those promises?

'' They also will rule the nations with a rod of Iron.''


Jesus has been doing this for a long time, and he rules from within, and the promise to the over comer is just this way, instead of being a temple that holds a spirit, you reach the prize and you become the spirit in a temple.

But the world will not end, it may begin, and if it does, you will be living in an age where people are walking around like Neo.

My sister loved the Matrix like I did, the Matrix was written from an individuals perspective of the bible.

A lot of people wouldn't catch the biblical influences but that is what it is, a view to an evolution.
