People have been saying the same thing for thousands of years, but as 2 Peter 3 says, "the day of the Lord will come like a thief". We are not meant to foresee the future, least of all God's plans for his return.
No one knows but I don't think so. Literally every generation thinks that they're in the end. There is a minor tradition among the Fathers that our Lord will return in the 6,000th year. Since the current Hebrew year is 5782, we still have 218 more years to go.
Yup. 666 in Hebrew Gematria spells Nero Caesar. Even more convincing is the alternate DSS fragment found that has the number of the beast as 616. 616 in Hebrew Gematria spells Neron Caesar, the Greek translation of Nero's name.
So 666 = Latin Nero, 616 = Greek Nero. Both are listed as the Number of the Beast.
I forget the other details but it went beyond numerology as well. As I think about this I’m realizing that apocalyptic predictions are probably all revenge fantasies. When churches and cults get obsessed with this stuff it is likely that they just want to see outsiders, non-believers, etc suffer. Certainly the Biblical writings have a lashing out at the powerful quality to them.
Even if we are maybe it’s for the best you know? Thinking ab living every day as if we are close so that I know i believed in Christ every day and not last minute when the worlds about to end
Well, there is that quote from Marcus Aurelius: “perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretense.”
i like that. I’ve been reading into some verses from revelation lately and the one that spoke to me was 21:8 saying that those who have sinned but haven’t accepted Christ will be sent into a fiery lake
Hell is immoral.
Torture is immoral.
Eternal torture is immoral.
Eternal torture for a "thought crime" is immoral.
The only logical conclusion is that a god who creates hell is an immoral god.
I do, here's my post about experiences and dreams I've had about the horsemen of the Apocalypse
"I could extrapolate on this more but I'll keep it short and simple. Back in April 2020, at the height of the 1st wave of Covid, I was cleaning and found a small figurine; a white horse with broken legs. The 1st horsemen of the Apocalypse: the white horse= global plague.
Roughly a year later, in April 2021, I had a vivid dream; a false awakening. I woke up and walked upstairs. My brother was making food and then I looked out the kitchen window. My sight zoomed in on a frightening site. Instead of the sun, I saw the planet Saturn as it looks from Earth, the shape of a human eye. It was pitch black and was emanating what seemed like sunlight. A portal opened and out came a black chariot pulled by black stallions. The 2nd horsemen of the Apocalypse: the black horse= wars and rumors of wars.
Within the last month I had another vivid dream. My brother walked into the bedroom I was in. He was holding a rope attached to a brownish red horse. The 3rd horsemen of the Apocalypse: the red horse= pestilence, drought and famine.
Beware and behold the arrival of the Pale Horse, when the first 3 horsemen combine into one. God bless everyone. Don't let anyone or anything shake your faith."
Maybe. There is a lot going on right now that can be interpreted as signs from revelation. At the same time, as others have mentioned, every few years we hear that. I say be ready but live your life. Nothing you do can change Gods plans.

My free PDF about 7 Trumpets/Bible Proof is in Editing, coming soon.
Also the majority of Revelation 13 already happened! 1800s to Present.
Those events are identified and dated in "China, Revelation’s Beast":

No, I'm a "Hey you, stand here and hold this sign a minute while I crank up this megaphone to permeate this entire area with Truth" person.
Thanks for holding it. Jesus is #1. 😎 🇺🇸 🕆
Wow. You're even further in then I thought. It's almost like meeting an infamous person. Very interesting indeed.
BTW - the way you write reminds me of Tony Ferguson. Just a liiittttllle bit. It's kinda funny.
Nope

so live your life as if it’s your last believing in Christ

One of my favorite shirts ever showed Roman era ruins in a desert and it said "The Great Tribulation has Passed and All I got was this lousy T-Shirt."
Yes
Very near and the next few years will show the finer details.
The events of Revelation mostly took place in the Roman Empire.
Yeah, I read a theologian’s breakdown - it was basically a revenge fantasy targeted at Rome.

Even if we are, I couldn't tell. But for now, let's hope that we're not.

Hell is an unforgiving place, where people that won't give up their sins, won't repent from them, will be abandoned. A place without hope and light.
Hell is immoral. Torture is immoral. Eternal torture is immoral. Eternal torture for a "thought crime" is immoral. The only logical conclusion is that a god who creates hell is an immoral god.
Why would you hope we are not?
Yes
Not even close.

I dont think it matters in all honesty.
That book makes no sense for a lot of reasons. It almost wasn’t included in the Bible.

Oh wow. You're one of those real life 'holding signs on the street corner' people aren't you? I've never met one of you online before, how exciting.
