Article: Are we seeing signs of the last days?

Sorry about that, first post messed up...

http://www.examiner.com/christianity-culture-in-knoxville/are-we-seeing-signs-of-the-last-days

Looking around it is plain to see that something is going on that did not used to be. Strange weather events, wars so complex and numerous, famines and talk of more to come. On and on this sad story goes, but are we seeing signs of the last days?

Open your Bible to Luke 21. Let's read what God said in verses 25-28. If you need a Bible or would like a better one, check out the selection they have at Cedar Springs Christian Store located at 6634 Clinton Highway, Knoxville TN, 37912-1016 and also at 504 North Peters Road, Knoxville TN,37922-7503.

What does God say?

Vs. 25 "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Vs. 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Vs 27 And then shall they see the son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Vs 28 And when these things begin to come to pass then look up and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

Are we seeing these signs?

It does appear that we are most definitely seeing sings of the last days. People who regularly watch the sun, moon and stars have seen many great wonders in this year alone. The sun has been giving off solar flares, even NASA has sent probes to monitor the backside of the sun.

The moon was a "super perigee" on March 19, 2011, meaning it was closer than it normally is every 18 years when there is a perigee.

Stargazers are seeing things that cannot be explained world wide. Then the more dedicated onlookers are talking of Planet X, Niburu and Comet Elenin. All of these are making many nervous as they near the earth. Go out and look for yourselves, it is very common to see falling stars, and small lights moving across the sky. Whatever all of these things are, it would appear that people are seeing signs in the stars.

There definitely is distress of nations. The middle east is turned inside out with all the chaos. Even the U.S. is not spared internal turmoil with politics being the main source. It is quite obvious that these new wars are full of perplexity.

Now looking towards the seas or oceans. They have been causing a large amount of trouble for mankind. Look at all the trouble Japan has been through since March 11, 2011. Men's hearts began failing it seems at that time.

Looking at all of these events happening all at the same time, would indicate that we are seeing last days events. Sure events like tsunamis and heavenly things, as well as wars have occurred before, just not all at the same time, and to the degree they are today.

Verse 27 of this passage springs forward to give us hope. The Son of man (Jesus) will come, and will be seen by all at the end of days. He comes to end the time of trouble, to finish things and make things right. This is the second coming spoken of in Revelation 19:11 " And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse: and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war..."

Verse 28 speaks of something else happening "And when these things begin to come to pass then look up and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."Jesus comes to rapture the redeemed. Have you been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb? "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" Romans 2:23-24.

"For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom. 6:23 .."These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." 1 John 5:13.

If you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have the hope that your redemption draweth nigh.

Notice it says... " when these things BEGIN to come to pass then Look UP"! It won't be long for those who believe until Jesus returns for his bride! If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, today would be a great day to make that decision. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!" Romans 10:13

Oh yes absolutely.

For the first time in recorded history, in the year 2011, we are seeing earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and tsunamis.

For the first time ever, there is political unrest in the middle east.

For the first time ever, the moon got bigger.

Never ever before in the history of the universe have these things ever occurred. Never! Earth was a paradise of pleasure from 4,000,000,000 BC until 2010 AD and then kablooey! The whole thing went to hell.

What sir said.

Also, there have never been false prophets before like Family Radio. Camping is the absolute first. That was another part of the sign, right?

The only End these silly people ought to be concerned about is their own.

End Times stuff is Sooooo Last Week !

I keep telling you guys that the description in the Bible is referring to a celestial event - they knew WHAT would happen but not WHEN. Whereas other cultures, obsessed with time and astronomy calculated the precession and WHEN it would happen but did not understand to what extent. We have been here before but through time, the event has been lost. Almost EVERY freaking culture on the planet, including native americans were busy tracking the reoccurence of an event.

I have done tons of research, and each and every day it seem that we are getting closer...

I think that that is the sad thing about religion you get burnt out on the wolf crying. However. you have to be able to look past that for "truth"...

We all saw the 'Last Days' of Harold Camping.

Been there, done that, moved on.

A end too this signs of the last days nonsense. 2800B.C. A assyrian clay tablet dating to approximately 2800 B.C..There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end, moral decay in society being interpreted as A sign of the end. From 2800 B.C.--1700 A.D there was over 50 documented world predictions.Apocalytic thinking gripped many ancient cultures. Since man have been recording history how many fail predictions have been made? Are we so shallow in our thinking, we are so unique, so special, the end must come in our life time. Wishful thinking my friends.

No, we are not. We are seeing cyclic changes occur in the earth with bizarre weather and earthquakes which have occured over thousands of years of earth's history. And this too shall pass- and we'll see even more changes throughout our lives ! But " last days " ? Nope. That's what superstitious cults and religions like Harold Camping & Jehovah's Witnesses teach. My 2 cents
