I think when Jesus said that you will not when he would return is telling us a watched pot never boils. I believe he taught how to find the Eternal within. He meant just live your life and it will happen when you least expect it. It's the same thing as the Zen master telling his student that being spiritual is just peeling the potatoes, you don't have to pray while you do. Be in the moment fully.Ceridwen018 said:Jesus said that you will not know the time or the day in which he would return. That means that Jesus wants you to live each day as if he were returning, don't you think? I it's pointless and contrary to what Jesus taught for people to worry about the 'last days'. Live as you think Jesus wants you to live, and he'll take care of you. Correct?
I do not believe that.Ernestine said:How many of you believe we are living in the what Jesus called the "last days" and soon to enter tribulation/Armageddon?
Are you just fishing for responses to quote the "Bible"? You never give a personal response, you only cite the "Bible".Ernestine said:I encourage you to read the book of Matthew, Chapter 24 and 1 Timothy, Chapter 3. Then go to 2 Peter 3:3,4 "For you know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers... saying: "Where is this promised presence of his?" Why from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death all things are continuing exactly as from creation's beginning". Some people would have you think that the signs mentioned in Matthew and Timothy have always occurred, that nothing is diffierent and that we are not in the last days. Jesus said himself that in the days of Noah, NO ONE TOOK NOTE and as a result lost their lives. Pay attention.

What events occured in 1914 that point to this?but the PRESENCE OR POROUSIA is something that has been here since 1914 when Jesus was given the kingship of Gods heavenly kingdom goverment Daniel 2;44 daniel 7;13-14 .
bible prophecy is now well along in this time of the end , 1914 was when Jesus recieved his kingship in the heavenly kingdom goverment , this kingdom was established in the heavens in 1914 Daniel 2;44 Daniel 7;13-14 and his PRESENCE in kingdom power has been since that date, inline with bible prophecy and chronology. this date of 1914 is a very significant date indeed . this date of 1914 was the start of the last days , and soon Jesus will stand up and go into action . Jesus is now a reigning king in the heavenly kingdom goverment . and he is a warrior king. and the GOODNEWS about this heavenly kingdom is being made known all over the world Matthew 24;14 soon it will be the end of manmade goverments , and only Gods kingdom will be left. Just as DANIEL2;44 says , this heavenly kingdom was set up while these other rulers and kingdoms were still active , IN THE DAYS OF THOSE KINGS , the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin.Yes, in this time of the end the true knowledge is certainly abundant indeedDaniel 12;4 thrilling times indeed that we are now living in , Jesus PRESENCE IS ALONG SIDE US . and has been since he was made king of this newly established kingdom. making known about this kindom that has Jesus as its reigning king, is the thing to do for all followers of christ Jesus . and it sure is being made known all over the world by a great crowd REVELATION 7;9-10 - this great crowd are helping Jesus brothers to get the job done Matthew 24-45-47 Jesus brothers have remained faithful to Jesus , that is why Jesus is giving them all his belongings, and they are getting good spiritual food from Jesus own hand . helping the right channel is the way to go because it is being fed by Jesus . and then it can feed the great crowd from all nations revelation 7;9-10. and it is very good food that Jesus gives his faithful ones .it is all bible based good food .isnt the bible a most wonderful book to keep awake too.Greetings!
In the view of us Baha'is, the end times have already come and gone!
Please note that the word in the original Greek is "eras," which means "world" or "age."
And as it happens, the translators who created the King James Version of the Bible picked the wrong meaning: this actually talks about the end of the Age!
We see it has having happened a century and a half ago, at the time when the Baha'i Faith began (fulfilling in the process the many Biblical prophecies about the event)!
(Of course, just as with the First Coming, the Second Coming consisted primarily of spiritual--not literal--fulfillments!)

the end days do not mean the end of the planet as some people teach , it means the end of a system of things , it will be the end of manmade goverments and rulerships , as Daniel 2;44 tells us, Gods heavenly goverment would be set up in the heavens at a time when manmade rulerships were still ruling, and it happened in 1914 ......... this is a very significant date that has a lot to do with bible prophecy and chronology . 1914 was the start of the last days of man ruling himself independent of God .and now we are well along into bible prophecy and things are moving ever foreward at a great pace .What events occured in 1914 that point to this?
No, I do not believe were living in "the end of days," nor do I believe in such a theory.
How many of you believe we are living in the what Jesus called the "last days" and soon to enter tribulation/Armageddon?
I believe that we are on our last leg in terms of the human race destroying our earth in terms of global warming etc. but I don't think it will be that soon ror does it have anything to do with 'God's' will or Jesus's
