Prophecy and signs are boiling in the middle east. Jesus said He would make Jerusalem a cup of trembling for all the world in the final days. Looks as if it is starting to get very hot in that region. Keep looking up, Jesus said our redemption is drawing near. Even Israel who God has let win previous wars will reach a point where Jesus said to not gather any possessions but to run to the hills for protection when they see the abomination that makes desolate. Many think this is when the anti christ who tries to rule the world goes into the temple into the holy place where the Ark of the Covenent had rested and declares that he is God. Then destruction is cut loose. For the first three and one half years the anti-christ declares a seven year peace on the region and Israel flourishes in safety and peace and is allowed to rebuild the Jewish temple which they are now fully prepared to do at a moments notice. For many who are watching Jesus will rapture His church at the time the anti-christ is revealed on earth or just before. OK it is just my opinion.
Peace
Paul

Paulwa, you made this same prediction a few years ago, and you know how that worked out. People have been looking for signs of the end times for nearly 2000 years and hundreds of times someone thought it was imminent.
You're just going to embarrass yourself again if you're making another false prophecy.

Ghoti I did not set any date, month or year. Not a prophecy but just following what has been prophesied by the bible.
Inkblister I think maybe Einstein said time travels at the speed of light. Could he be right?

The Temple has to be rebuilt first, though, and I don't see that happening any time soon. There's a Mosque sitting on that spot these days.

There is some proof Ghoti that the mosque is sitting on what is called the court of the Gentiles. The place where Jews believe the ark of the covenant sat in the holy of holies is outside this area and the entire temple could sit alongside the mosque without disturbing it. Islam holds control over the temple mount right now and won't allow any action on the temple mount to occur by Israel. Some say the anti christ will manage a seven year peace treaty and allow Israel to build their temple.

What gets forgotten all the time is that prophecy has often been made sure.
The Word of prophecy is confirmed by experience. (the vision on the mount)
The two go together, I think.
See I Peter 1:10-12; II Peter 1:4, 16-21; 3:15

It is also believed that the Ark in in a church in Ethiopia. Also from Ethiopia are Jews believed to be the remnants of the 12th, the lost tribe.
I find it difficult to believe a prophecy is being fulfilled when a bunch of fundamentalist Protestants go over there with plans and money to convince everyone to rebuild the temple. Trying to create a fulfillment, to me, would be a false fulfillment like trying to personalize the antichrist.

The prophecy doesn't say how it would be fulfilled, only that it would happen and does say at times who would be involved. Maybe the prophecy took what you are saying into account Paul.

In order for a prophecy to be declared true, it should state clearly what is being predicted to happen and then all parts of it must actually come to pass. Most of the so-called "true prophecies" of the Bible are worded very vagely or crypitcally and can be read in multiple ways.
There is no "right" way to read the Bible, BTW, since most of the multiple Christian and Jewish denominations even have major disagreements in interpretations. That's the main reason there are over 100 separate Christian sects world-wide.

Not to mention insulting as hell. Most Jews living in Israel do not accept Jesus as the Messiah they are waiting for. Also, around 20% of Jews living in the State of Israel claim to be athiest.
It amazes me that the Christians working toward self-fulfilling prophecy think it's okay to insult Jewish beliefs by claiming their (Jews) eyes will be opened to the truth.

This is a copy/paste from your word processor or wherever you keep it.
Could you come up with new material. I think it's just us oldtimers here and you know how everyone hates to repeat stuff like their medical history...what their religious thing is or isnt....yada yada yada for us oldtimers. After all...we've heard it before. The same holds true for "this response" to anyone's religious posting about the end times. New material is appreciated and Lord knows...nobody here is going to ask for it, from you. You somehow manage to silence others.
What you wrote here, btw, is utter and complete lies. And it well tells that you do not read, know, or even care about any thing which this thread entails.
Since you have such distaste for the so-called prophecies which have come to pass or will come to pass or are COMING to pass now...please, tell us how you come to this conclusion. What readings tell you of this? How Do you come to such conclusion.
Just a taste...a little one...would be appreciated....which places in the Bible do you compare to conclude such knowledge of how a prophecy SHOULD be pulled off? Please do USE the Bible.
Don't abuse.

Paul
Yup, but you have to keep in mind...while reading the New, that the Old is absolutely of importance to the whole story of Jesus.
Hebrews...a great chapter....allllll about Jesus/
genesis...the beginning, the woman is to bear a child.....this being the first prophetic message... then
in the end...a pregnant woman is found....and the child, is to crush Satan!
The woman and child, in my viewpoint, are referring to Israel and her offspring, the Messiah Jesus --- both in the beginning and the end.
Now, tell God how prophecy SHOULD happen, anyone?....

You could just as easily google the internet to then type:
Mainstream Christian groups generally accept Messianic Judaism as a form of Christianity.
Why not read the Bible instead.

The testimony of Jesus is the word of prophecy. It is about to come down around our ears one day soon. To Christians it will be a Hallelujah day. John the Baptist had it right when he said Repent! The day of the Lord is at hand.

I believe we are discussing the current Jewish population of Israel...those who do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah.

John the Baptist had it right when he said Repent! The day of the Lord is at hand.
Wasn't that 2000 years, or so, ago? And, wasn't he introducing Jesus when he said that?

Right Flicka but we are in the latter rain where God pours out His spirit (hopefully soon. The day of the Lord is at hanmd now. John introduced Jesus and His ministry and the bible is introducing the day of the Lord in the latter days. It does say that John had the spirit of Elijah according to Jesus as prophecy forcast, and prophecy says Elijah would come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord at the end. Or perhaps someone with the spirit of Elijah? We'll see. :-)
Prophecy says His spirit would fall on His people and the young would see visions and the old would dream dreams. Great times ahead!

To me, as I said, it is not the fulfillment of prophecy when a group says that we are going to fulfill prophecy. When people claim someone may be the antichrist it is silly because no one will know who it is.
I still can't believe that people follow blindly a book assembled by a bunch of Catholic priests who picked and chose texts to create a book to guarantee their power and well-being yet don't believe what today's priests say. Then they said that this is the Word of God. How convenient. King James just had it translated, not re-written just for future Protestants. I imagine between the councils of Nicaea and King James that various scribes and priests made their own little "refinements" to the text under the suggestions of their pope or king.

The Apostle Paul said the spirit of antichrist was in the world in his day. Anyone who claims Jesus is not the christ and messiah who sacrificed Himself on the cross is anti christ according to the bible; but there will be one true anti christ under satans control who will take over all the nations of the earth or at least will attempt it. The false prophet will join him and force on people a one world wide religion. Looks like Chrislam will be that religion, a merging of christianity and Islam. This is going on right now here in America.

It is certainly not going on in Iraq as they drive the Christians into Jordan, Turkey and Kurdish Iraq as infidels.
And the religious athletic organization here in the US that won't admit Muslims because the Koran says to kill non-believers. There will be n merging until every last radical Muslim is dead.

Just watch the chrislam movement. That is the direction religion is trying to flow in America to satisfy Islam and bring the world to oine religion. Rick Warren and Charles Schuller are masterminding it from what I understand.

Anyone who claims Jesus is not the christ and messiah who sacrificed Himself on the cross is anti christ according to the bible;
But, this would include the entire Jewish population (who aren't Messianic). I have a hard time believing that.

The Jews being Gods people are not included in this statement. God will introduce those to be saved to Jesus at a point He chooses. Gentiles all fall under that statement. I think Jesus said concerning the Jews, They will not see me until they say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. I think this happens sometime in the tribulation known as Jacobs trouble. This is what I have learned anyway and it follows the bible in my view.
