I know the Son of Man isn’t coming with signs to behold, but it’s as if I could feel it in my bones. As if I will be alive to witness His return. Does anyone else feel like this?

A few of my relatives do. However, I myself believe that I will be dead and buried before that(and, honestly, that is my preference).

I am in my early twenties, but I am a pessimist, so I doubt that I shall live to be 60. However, I do not like eschatology, I am probably “throwing” everything off-balance.

Hoo boy…And I’d do anything to be alive on THAT DAY…

YT, I guess we cancel out!🤷

Om… I don’t know what that means, but it doesn’t sound healthy. :confused:

I think if I die it’ll be in armageddon.
 
Whether we are alive or dead we will all get to meet Jesus. I pray that our hearts may be prepared for Him when we meet Him.
 
Uh, not really. I’m not one of those who’s willing on the Apocalypse or cares to be around in the destruction of the end times. I’d rather have made my curtain call before then, thanks.
Besides, people have said Jesus is coming pretty much since right after he died.

True. But the prospect of being dead is just too hideous for me. Seals, trumpets et al are much less frightening, if I can throw my live body into HIS arms…

Well, stay out of Israel and you won’t die “in Armageddon” which is a literal place next to Mount Tabor…:rolleyes:

Yeah, I know what you mean. But it’s not the circumstances of death that are hideous, but death itself. And if we can take Saint Paul at his word, those of us who are alive when HE appears will simply go on being alive (1 Co 15)

Oooh no. I’d rather have my own exit before Final Judgement. I dunno, maybe it’s from being around too many evangelical 2012ers when I was a kid. Too many Discovery channel documentaries about Armageddon and fire and destruction and pain and torment and all that. It traumatizes a kid, you know.

Evangelical 2012? I didn’t know that particular fad was around so long, or were you a kid recently?

So I guess you and YT outvote me. At least it isn’t a matter of voting, either way. Me, for even a 50-50 chance of living unto that day, I’d trip the light fantastic all the way to Canada.:)🙂

And you’re right. It don’t matter how we feel about it, eh? When i was in middle school, I never got any sleep, was never happy, relaxed, or at peace out of fear of the end of the world. Then one day I realized, WTF self? It’s not like you can control what’s gonna happen. SO go out, have some fun, behave, and just see what happens
 
My dear friend

My own pure speculation.

There are lots of revelations indicating the end will be soon. My own guess is sometime around mid this century. I don’t know how long I’ll live though.

God bless you and pray for me please:thumbsup:🙂

I think a lot of things are coming together, too. I affirm that Christ could have come at any time, and could still come at any time… but there’s a lot of weird stuff in our days that seems hard to ignore. The Marian apparitions, rise of evil, the systematic deconstruction of many of the world’s great Christian epicenters… and the list goes on. It’s as if a global bear trap of persecution unlike anything the world has ever seen, centuries old in the making, is about to be sprung… and the potential calamity seems almost apocalyptic, perhaps even to the point of finally driving the divisions of Christianity into unity through the forge of unprecedented suffering and martyrdom… something we have not seen for over a thousand years.

I don’t know if I’ll live to see Our Lord’s return, but I think we’re living in momentous times. We must live as though He is coming today, and yet as though His coming may be a long way off. We will meet Him eventually, and His charge to us was not to speculate on His return, but to tend to His business in our times. We have a great deal of tending to do… and The Day, as well as our day, fast approaches.

Grace and peace.
 
I know how you all feel. I too sometimes “feel it in my bones.” But then I also wonder how it was for people back in the late 1340’s when the Black Plague was ravaging Europe, when 1 out of 4 people were dying of a horrible disease. I mean it must have looked like the end to them much more than it does to us, right? So I don’t know.

I just pray that if I will be alive to see the end (beginning) that I in some way can be helpful to the Christain faith in ways more involved than I am now.
 
Maranatha!

With all my being I pray that He might come and wipe away every tear! Oh happy day!!

Any ideas about exchatology based on the “rise of evil” need to take into account the sheer NUMBER OF PEOPLE the world has now!

I mean, with more sinners, of course there will be more sinning going on!!!

(The flip side of this is, of course, GOD can show more grace)
