End of the world, a good thing?

[Ion]

Ahmadinejad said in UN speach that their saviour will come toghether with Jesus Christ …My english is not that bad.

The interesting thing, as I have seen a documentary about Israel, is that some of them consider themselves Judaic as religion and believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and He will come a second time. How can be this? My english is not that good, I might have misunderstood.

It’s called Messianic Judaism.

Adherents of this faith cling to the physical and religious appurtenances of Judaism; the yarmulkes, prayer shawls, Star of David, Jewish calendar and feast days, the Sabbath, etc., and pray in Hebrew; but hold to Yeshua Ben David as Moschiach and use (a Hebrew version of) the NT.

They are not all based in Israel, in fact, outside of Israel, many of them are not of Jewish blood.

So you don’t agree with this?
2Peter
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

I’m not quite sure what you mean by this.

What? as “Jean Dixon as solely fortune telling.” I don’t think that many do.

Probably because these two books contain comprehensive prophecies of the end times, and I don’t know of anyone who takes them literally.

That is my objection, the literal fortune prediction interpretation of the bible by many fundamental Protestants and not a few Catholics. I do not belive a lot of the bible is literal and I don’t think “prophecy” is fortune telling.

Why do many see the end of the world as a positive? I certainly do not.

The death of this present world results in the resurrection of the ‘next’ - the restored, perfect world we were always meant to live in. Heaven on earth as in 'thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven".

It will be a beautiful thing - a paradise where we are surrounded with our loved ones, including those who have gone before us, with total joy - for all those who love God and show it by obeying His commandments, or repent when they fail to obey.

Our goal is heaven, not this earth. No matter how hard we try, we will never make this current earth into the future paradise that awaits. In the future the restored earth will be blended seamlessly with heaven.

God bless you.
