[W:955] End Times Prophecies: Are they lining up to be fulfilled?

What a sad and closed-minded way to live. I truly feel sorry for people like you. I'm not just saying that. A world without hope would be a terrible place to live. It makes no logical sense to do so when you could choose otherwise. But that's what happens when societies get wealthy, materialistic, egotistical and self centered. They get so wrapped up in themselves they are too blind to realize something greater than human beings could be out there. Something larger than the Universe can exist. So sad.

Nothing sad about it. We don't need to think we will live forever to experience hope or happiness in life. I couldn't choose to believe something that i know is not true just to attempt to create false hope. makes no sense. Best to live in reality and make the best of it because it really is all we have the ability to to. We have no idea about any afterlife.

It's simply not true.
But a lot of people are teaching kids that. It's no coincidence today's youth are having a record number of psychological issues.

That is not the cause.

I know there were more powerful earthquakes before.
But, I'm just surprised to see it happen within days, and in different parts of the world.

So you don't like the answer because it doesn't fit your crazy narrative. Same with the bubonic plague.

So?
Did they have problems with diabetes then?
With obesity?

So it killed a higher percentage of the population than anything in the current time. And they didn't have the science to stop it, but we do now.
 
Awful Shit Happens Every Second

But more people have it better now than ever in the entire history of homo sapiens.

Agreed...we are experiencing what happens to people when they have no hope...I think that is more of a problem right now than anything else...they have no hope and they don't care about themselves or anyone else...life is meaningless for them...their lives, as well as others...

The Bible speaks of such occurrences as birth pangs...
 
The bottom line is that things that happen are not signs of anything. They are just things that happen.

We have the same too, today.
You haven't heard of famine in some parts of the world?






Global Famine to Plague Earth from 2022-2024, It Is Set In Motion and Cannot be Stopped​


A convergence of horrifying events have set into motion an irreversible collapse of food production and crop harvests that will lead to global famine all the way through 2024. These events cannot be stopped for the simple reason that plants take time to grow. You can’t create crops instantly, and if they don’t get planted (or they get destroyed), there’s no instant replacement.


The reasons for the coming global famine include:

Everything that's happening all over the world kinda feels like we're marching towards an anti-climax of some sort.
 
And Luke speaks of pestilences/diseases...

"There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs." Luke 21:11

Yes that's what it's for. Just a reminder to myself about how good I have it when I feel like complaining.

Wow, so his amazing prophecy has been fulfilled about a million times.

Did he also write a prophecy about the Sun coming up? Or about water falling from the sky?

Well sure, these wre primitive people who didn't know Siberia or South America existed.

They didn't know those things were all happening already and would continue to happen for the next 2000 years.

They thought of the scariest things they had heard about and wrote them down. Big deal.

@Roger Duke

So?
Did they have big problems with diabetes then?
With obesity?

With opioid?
Recreational drugs?
Cancer?
Heart diseases?

HIV?
AIDS?
EBOLA?

Do I dare add......covid? Or, maybe skip that out? 😁



MENTAL PROBLEMS?

The point that Roger is making is that, many things are happening within just one lifetime!

You severely lack knowledge in basic history.

You think that because methamphetamine and fentanyl didn’t exist 1000 years ago, that life was fantastically better for most people at that time?

How so? It's simple reality.

I feel sorry for those who cannot deal with actual reality and need the crutch or emotional comfort mechanism of religion/belief to cope. One does not need religious beliefs/delusions to have hope in something.

Not everyone can simply choose to believe.

By our observation, the universe is it. Some of know we are insignificant specks compared to the cosmos. That's just how it is. Life and the universe goes on.

How do you know? Where's the proof for that claim? Of all the people who have died over the course of human history, there is not 1 objectively verifiable piece of evidence or proof of anyone coming back from biological death and saying there's more after death.

And you blame that on them being taught about the finality of death? Seriously?
