Is CHRIST about ready to Rapture HIS Church?

[LittleNipper]

Society now seems capable of anything: Free love, "Gay" marriage, Legalization of drugs for pleasure, calling men women and women men, earthquakes everywhere, major pandemics, collapse of the economy, and threat of war everywhere, people asking, "So where is CHRIST?!?". Is the baby nearly here (birth pains)? https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/russia-ukraine-war-pastors-end-days-83370507

I think that was back in 2011. We're the "left buttock" or "left arears" or something like that.

If there is a God, please rapture your rabid, crazy, bigoted followers! Please!

Right now, the CHURCH is still here exerting influence. Imagine 7 years where anything goes after the CHURCH is gone. And remember GOD is presently protecting HIS CHURCH. Once the CHURCH is out of here ---- as in the days of NOAH the world left behind will face tribulation.

If there were no right-wing Evangelical voters, we could clean up the messes in this country in a generation. Maybe faster!

We are approaching heaven.

That's funny, because when The GREAT WORLD WAR occurred, a Democrat was in the White House. When WORLD WAR II occurred, a Democrat was in the White House. When the Korean War occurred, a Democrat was in the White House. When the Vietnam conflict occurred, a Democrat was in the White House. Now Is Vladimir Putin liberal or conservative ----- I know he hates Baptists...

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an airplane, Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

The comic Lenny Bruce certainly had his act together... He died Aug. 3, 1966 from an overdose of morphine. Are you hoping morphine is legalized for recreational use?

Did you not get the reference? Google it!

The person painted starry night killed himself. Are you equating great art with how a person dies?

 

[phoenix2020]

This thread reminds me of my favorite TV show, Community, specifically the spooky halloween stories episode and in particular Shirley's story about how the Rapture would go down.

(And you think they are conservative?) So, just when and how will they clean their own room let alone any other mess?

Silly, unanswerable thread/OP question, especially coming from a theist. The Bible states no man knows the answer to the question posed in the thread title/OP. --- Matthew 24:36 ---

Oh bloody hell.
Star Trek is just getting really good again and it's the end of the bloody world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's just bloody typical that is.

Why would it be time for the Rapture? Why now? Every generation since the Stick Jew got stuck, we've had batches of his disciples insisting that the end of days was upon us. Every single generation of said doomsday prophets has been wrong, and I'm more than willing to bet that they will not only continue to make such bold claims, but that they will also continue to be wrong about them for as long humanity dwells on earth. If the sixties weren't the end of days when the USSR & co. made up a third of the earth's population and the American left had just figured out how much fun military-grade hallucinogens were to take recreationally, why would it be now? If it wasn't the Protestant Reformation when millions of Christians killed and died over the capricious whims of nobles who decided that they would benefit from fracturing the direct lineage of Christ's closest disciples, why would it be now? If it wasn't during the Black Plague, when one in three Christians in Europe ended up dying of a plague transmitted by the forces of a man called THE SCOURGE OF GOD, why would it be now? If it wasn't the height of Roman executions of Christians when institutional pederasty was still an accepted practice as long as you only molested slaves and you didn't let your wife molest them too, why would it be now? The answer is, to put it simply, it isn't: in the modern era, the Apocalyptic Christian outlook is nothing more than the false pretense that gay people being gay is the greatest offense against you (the generalized you, not the specific you) personally that has been suffered by any man before or after, and that the world is literally falling apart because you have to talk to someone with green hair and pronouns when you order a coffee from McDonald's. such a worldview is dismal and pathetic from any viewing angle but the individual holding it, and if you ever find that you are mocked incessantly online when voicing it, you should remember this post and the horrors that previous generations have endured compared to your own.

The day or the hour ---- We are talking about maybe within the next 5 years.

 

[tacomancer]

People have been predicting the end of the world on this basis for 2000 years now.

It will happen when it happens. Until then, pray daily and do what god would have you to do to the best of your ability.

Playing pedant with allegorical scripture to get away with erring from Christian teachings. Marvelous.

ANOTHER end days prediction?

Just realized that they put quotation marks around gay instead of marriage in their OP. This implies that NippleLitter thinks the only false part of gay marriages is the gay part, and that the matrimony itself is perfectly kosher.

You're not wrong, but where I am right now is feeling as if this is yet ANOTHER letdown on the eschaton front.

Christians keep PROMISING armageddon, but it keeps not happening. They're as bad as the Mayans, really.

Silly fables and lore.

Operative word in your above post being "maybe." There is also an old adage you may be aware of. ---> "Talk is cheap." <---- Ring a bell?

Well, Armageddon will not happen for 1 thousand years, after the 7 years of tribulation, after the Rapture of the Church. The starting point is the Rapture.
