Yes, there is"

The Apostle’s Creed"

“…world WITHOUT end. Amen”

It will be changed but not ended.
Uh, the Apostles Creed doesn’t say this.

That said, I’m not really sure why Techno answered with there is no Church teaching on the end of the world. I said:
And? I’m just going to say the same thing over and over again. Where is the CHURCH teacing on these verses? Catholics don’t privately interpret scripture.
I’ve already given this link before but here’s what the Catholic Encyclopedia has to say on the Second Coming/Final Judgment.

Didn’t you say" Second coming of Jesus" had nothing to do with “The Thief in the Night” in the Bible:

The uncertainty of the day of judgment is continually urged by Christ and the Apostles as an incentive to vigilance. The day of the Lord will come “as a THIEF”
  1. Time
    As was stated above, the signs that are to precede the judgment give no accurate indication of the time when it will occur (Mark 13:32). When the Disciples asked the Saviour: “Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” He answered: “It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power” (Acts 1:6-7). The uncertainty of the day of judgment is continually urged by Christ and the Apostles as an incentive to vigilance. The day of the Lord will come “as a THIEF” (Matthew 24:42-43), like lightning suddenly appearing (Matthew 24:27), like a snare (Luke 21:34), as the Deluge (Matthew 24:37).
DIDN’T YOU READ THE LINK, LIKE YOU TELL ME:D
 
It’s really disturbing, if not entirely sick, how many Catholics are so obsessed by and smitten with this drivel.
 
I stand corrected.

“…world without end. Amen”

This is from the "Glory be to the Farther and to:) the Son and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be. WORLD WITHOUT END. Amen 👍
 
Apocalypse 6:12
12 And I saw, when he had opened the sixth seal, and behold
there was a great earthquake, and the SUN BECAME BLACK as sackcloth of hair: and the whole moon became as blood:

Joel:
2:2. A DAY OF DARKNESS, and of gloominess, a day of clouds and whirlwinds: a numerous and strong people as the morning spread upon the mountains: the like to it hath not been from the beginning, nor shall be after it, even to the years of generation and generation.

Isaiah :
13:9. Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
13:10. For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: THE SUN SHALL BE DARKENED in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
 
Most of the websites posted here all have the exact same thing. Most also contain the “Aftermath” statement which is not in keeping with the Second Coming.

Neither verses in Peter or Thessolonians speak of demons being loosed an wiping out everyone who’s outside.

I’ve asked you before what you believed “thief” to be. It would seem (you didn’t answe so I’ll have to guess) that you believe this to be demons. None of these verses say that the “theif” is demon. In fact, they specifically say “the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night” and then they say to go onto be vigillant. How many homilies have you sat through on these verses you’ve listed? I’m betting not one of them was in connection to the TDoD. They were (or at least shoud have been) on how be must have our souls prepared to die at any moment for we know not the hour and it we don’t want it to come when we’re unprepared like a thief in the night.

Nobody is scoffing at the Second Coming. I, after reading this whole thread again, am really scoffing at the TDoD now. If the Second Coming is going to come as a thief in the night, it can’t be the TDoD (and, as I’ve said, it doesn’t seem that the even most of those sites are claiming it to be this) because the TDoD comes with a big neon sign that says “Thief coming! Thief coming!” Besides that, there is no proof that Padre Pio ever made the quotes used. People who like Bayside promote this one. Most of the others who promote this one are dubious sources too. You won’t find this prophecy promoted on CA or ETWN. Most prophies (at least all of the ones I can think of) aren’t specific but symbolic in nature. Hmmm…what else have I forgotten? Ah,yes, many of the people promoting this appear to be using private interpretation of Bible verses to support their view. As Catholics, we are not supposed to do this.
From -St. Faustina :PROPHECY : (Fully Approved by the Catholic Church)

Write this: before I come as the just Judge, I am coming first as the King of Mercy. Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens of this sort: All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth. Then the SIGN OF THE CROSS will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Saviour were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place shortly before the last day. (83)

From the web site you give me: Catholic Encyclopedia-
  1. “The Sign of the Son of Man Appearing in the Heavens.”
In Matthew 24:30, this is indicated as the sign immediately preceding the appearance of Christ to judge the world. By this sign the FATHERS OF THE CHURCH generally understand the appearance in the sky OF THE CROSS on which the Saviour died or else of a wonderful CROSS OF LIGHT.

That is a poor English translation; so should not be taken as official teaching. The Latin is “per omnia saecula saeculorum” which is literally “through all time of times.”. I think it refers to God as unchanging through time, not to the permanence of creation. See ** 2 Peter 3:10 **
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.

No, I said the “thief in the night” wasn’t demons.

You’re starting to scare me here, friend. What is with the incessant Scripture quoting? I’ve aksed several times for Church teaching and pointed out several times that Catholics don’t believe in privately interpreting Scripture. So, unless you have some Church teaching on those Scriptures what’s the quoting for?

Dude, again, we don’t deny the Second Coming and the Church teaching surrounding the Second Coming. What we deny is that the TDoD and the Second Coming are the same thing.
 
We should be ever vigilant to have our souls ready when we should perish and we “know not the hour” of this. Our Church has never said the “Thief in the Night” had anything to do with a TDoD type of scenario.

We must be VERY careful to use only approved interpretations of the bible.
“We should be ever vigilant to have our souls ready when we should perish and we “know not the hour” of this.”

You are talking about One’s own Personal Death here,correct ?

I need some blessed bees wax to light my home. God knows it would help on my gas and electric bill. Please don’t mock God. Just because some visionary said so.

I’m sorry Dude if you can’t put the to(“TDoD/ and the Second Coming” ) together, its clear as day to me, and others that they are the same event.

How in the World I’m I mocking God ???:confused: :confused: :confused:

I am refering to personal visions. nothing in the bible says so. Some crack pot say the sky is falling and everybody is supposed to get “special blessed candles” Special cloths, etc etc. How silly! We need to pray for the second coming and trust Jesus Christ. Not visions in sandwiches.

So is Saint John a crack pot ? the only
crack pot I can think of right now is ,Luther.
 
To be fair “The Thief in the Night” can apply to “Personal Death” and “The Second coming of Jesus”.

The incessant Scripture quoting is to show link between the (TDoD scenario) and the (Second coming), now please give me Church teaching on(Judgement Day/Second coming/ End of the World) other than The Apostles Creed, thank you.
