I would in fact say that it is the very reason that things are getting better that it's end times. Think about human existence as a story. We have the set up, the conflict, and the story hits the turning point near the end of the story. End times, doesn't need to mean human exinction. It can mean closing a page on our crappy history of fear and hatred to enter a New Age. Hence the term, New Age.

I thought we were talking about Biblical end times, as in the proverbial last days.

From a purely logical perspective, most posters here are on the slippery slope. All humans come with an expiration date - and it ain't that long (on Earth)!

Shabbat Shalom,


Mahrie.

This is increasingly and depressingly descriptive of the zeitgeist of the current societal tenor.

Default Does anyone else believe that it is the beginning of the end times?

I wouldn't know.

But, to comment on this time...I have never experienced more ease in connection with our Creator, this
ever present Intelligence or Consciousness...'His' Presence is all around. I have not always been like this.
It's like something has been lifted and my spiritual advancement has simply accelerated, the mind has settled down and it is easier to get into, ha, the zone....the place of calm and ease
to be able to feeeel and sense in the silence...no more 20year old nutty, preoccupied brain.
(Buddhists call 'monkey brain', lol)

I read things about what would be called new age ideas about 'shifts' with the stars or alignments...I dunno...but 'something' is happening to me and others.
There are more Awakenings....you could call dawning realizations, epiphanies given...light bulbs going off in people's head where they suddenly 'see'...see what? What this place is...why we are here...understanding the Matrix (google Max Plank, 1944) or The Divine Matrix a book by Gregg Braden.
Read more on quantum physics to expand your thinking, but mostly your awareness ...of
what? Start with tuning into what it is that is making your fingernails grow....hahahaha.
I mean it. Watch your heart softening and opening.
Ignore others. Peace starts with you, as the bumper sticker says.

The Big Bang was the beginning of the end times.

Your birth was the beginning of your end times.

I think we should embrace change, and save the planet.

Apparently when women rule over men, youths oppress My people (Isaiah 3:11), and daughter wear nose rings (Isaiah 3:21), is a time to be wary, for soon the daughters will "instead of well set hair", will have "plucked out scalp" (Isaiah 3:24).

Isaiah 3:11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done. 12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths. 13The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.…

We have all of us contributed to the wrath of God, Christians as well as sinners. We have all of us given our allegiance to wickedness and debauchery in high as well as low places. We will all eat and drink of the wrath of God upon America. It is coming and it is coming soon. REPENT now.

I used to think that judgment would 'pass over' Christians, but after the events of Charleston I no longer believe this. Those gentle and good folk have passed on to their Lord and Savior and the only good thing that one can say for this is that their eyes will not see what is coming upon the rest of us. But we will.

The message of Charleston is not about a flag or a nut case with a gun. It is about Christians NOT being immune to the terrible society American has become. Pay attention, Christians. Your salvation is in the blood of the lamb, not Star Wars or rapture heresy. Sticking your head in the sand will not make it go away. Stand up and open your eyes and repent. NOW.

Moses led his people through the desert. There were no shortcuts then and there are no shortcuts now. God does not deal in escapism, but in hard truth and deeds. God was with the Hebrews in the desert and He will be with those who trust in Him. There is no way to delay or deny it.

The air is tense with expectation. Even secular voices are raised in saying that something terrible is approaching America. No one knows what it is, but when it comes those of us who survive will initially be very confused and angry at God. Eventually, those among us who are rational and not subject to hysteria will admit we had it coming. We've asked for it and the righteous hand of God will be justified in its act.

Do not seek escapism except in humble petition to God for forgiveness and personal mercy. He will grant it to many, but not to all. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God. Perhaps your continued life may be granted as reward.

and that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
amen!
