End-times-prophecy (Page 3) Zanjan: Leonora, you can think of yourself any way you like - as an angel, even as a god. That won't grab anyone's attention. It all goes back to what the text is. I don't interpret the Bible because I don't think of myself as a Revelator, equal with Moses or Christ. I don't believe I carry a rank equal to or higher than the Apostles either. Jesus said, "You will all fall away". He didn't specify the date but it's obvious to me that occurred some time ago. Just my opinion. (Edited by Zanjan) m_leonora1111: Jesus says I'm your teacher. So I stay in the Words of God BIBLICAL. And it is time to preach the Everlasting Gospel to the world. Motati: Somebody help! Can we all take it easy. People are being judgemental, they see themselves as saints. The interesting thing is that people from other religions are reading these posts of the "holier than thou, children of God." I guess they must be saying if that's what these people's heaven looks like, no thank you, we don't want to be there. Is it coronavirus that causes this whole lot of confusion? (Edited by Motati) Zanjan: Um no, the corona virus is causing people to read more. I'm reading less because its spring - the flowerbeds need heavy work and there's so little time to get it done before its too late. By that I mean, established plants can no longer be transplanted; dead stalks can't be removed through foliage; rhizome weeds will have grown into the roots of the plants you wanted to keep, killing them. You can no longer cultivate deeply. It's too late to prune, seed and spray. So, it's a race against time. I only have 3 weeks to do all that and it's bloody back-breaking. Prophecy works that way too - when you see the signs of the seasons, you need to get cracking and do the work. If you don't know how much time you've got, you'll get caught. Sitting around talking about it is only for the winter season. (Edited by Zanjan) Campion: I believe it to be intellectually, emotionally and spiritually unhealthy to live your life in constant expectation of the "end times". It is far better to live your life in such a way as to make this a better world, not just today but into the far distant future. m_leonora1111: Zanjan, the Bible self says that there are more prophecies to be completed. And we true Christians are seeing the fulfillment of those prophecies. Go and open what I have sent for you. Zanjan: The number of the "beast" is numerology. It belonged to the man called "Ghwarath ibn al-Harith", who was Muhammad's mortal enemy - this anti-Christ lead an army against Muhammad but was defeated. Christians don't believe their prophecies have been fulfilled yet many maintain they've unraveled their mysteries - nonsense. If they had, they'd have to admit the Promised One has arrived. No prophecy can be understood until the Promised One confirms it - that's the whole point of prophecy. m_leonora1111: The number and the name of the beast is, The Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. We true Christians are FEW, God has open our minds. That's why we can understand all the prophecies. " The Popes of the Roman Catholic Church have previously been given the title " VICARIOUS FILLI DEI", which means "Vicar of the Son of God". Take a look at the follow quotes from a Catholic Answers Website in 2011: "Question: Vicarious Filii Dei? What does this mean? Is it a phrase referring to the Pope's hat, or something. Just curious to know what is it." Answer: (From father Reginald Martin)..."Vicarious Filii Dei means Vicar [ or representative] of the Son of God, a term scholars believe first appears in a document known as the Donation of Constantine, dated to the eighth or ninth century. This is an apt description of the Pope, who is frequently referred to as the Vicar of Christ, and, at present, probably only the most bitterly anti-Catholic individuals would take offense at the title." (Our Sunday Visitor, The Catholic Answer, 24th Nov. 2011. Now if you convert the name " Vicarious Filii Dei" into Roman numerals, and add them up, you will come to 666. This is the number of the beast and more specifically, the number of A MAN! Motati: I wonder what are supposed to do now? We should all stop living. Burn all our "earthly possessions," dig a huge grave, drink poison, and go and lie in that grave and we'll be on our way to heaven. You guys are such doomsayers, it's sad. Is it what you teach your children? Poor children must be really traumatised, and we wonder why all these killings, children committing suicide, it's because of all these scary things that they hear from people like you. This to me sounds more like a cult. God is real: motati you should do whatever you want.Just be prepared that's all.If the apocalypse is as chrisitans interpret ….it will be worse enough.Your job is to find god and his purpose for your life.Only then you ll be satisfied even in the greatest crisis | Religion Chat Room 20 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
