earthquakes from everywhere, sudden change of climate, unexpected catastrophe, tribulation, war and famine. these are the latest news happening from every corner of the world. austerity rises form rich countries which is doubtful to believe yet is the fact that should be observed.
people are trying to do all things. safety precautions are being implemented everywhere, believing that they could still save the world from its doom; but no matter how they try, signs of destruction are getting worse to worst.
but these events are not new to the Believers. instead, these things are expected to come because The Book told them so - The Bible!
these happenings are the signs that the end is coming near and is soon to happen. it was stated in Matthew 24 that such catastrophe must pass by and the Gospel of the Good News shall be preached to the ends of the earth and then the End will come.
Christ will once again appear in this world to take those who believe in Him and those who do His Word. and those who are not, they will all be left behind to suffer from upcoming tribulation that the world has ever known.
are you ready for the rapture?

If all this is true, I will mad with God forever. I mean, I'm really young I have lots of life plans and goals, so fas, I have lived a really really cr.ap life He gave me, and I was planning to leave all that behind when I grew up and live much better and happier. I couldn't did anything of I was planning yet, but things seem to go by a better way now, and now He will end my life I won't have anything of that I was planning for my life and I will keep only with the memories of the cr.ap life I had? That's ridiculous. He made us, he made the mistake, and now we should pay for that? Come on.

i have my sympathy to you my dear fellow, but i want you to know that God loves you so much that He gave Jesus just to save you. you don't have to get mad on God because first and foremost, a clay pot has no right to complain to his Potter. so as we are to God. yes, not only you have the plans in life but also God to mankind. indeed He has a better plan greater than we do for for ourselves. and it is to give you hope and a good future (Jeremiah 29:11).
try to read God's letter fully dedicated for you - The Bible. and you'll understand God's purpose especially for you.
God bless!

The Rapture will come when Jesus comes and not before. The AntiChrist will be here and many will be fooled. Many are already in the position to be fooled after reading and seeing books and movies called Left Behind. The Jewish Messiah (the Christians' Personal Savior) will come after the AntiChrist comes. By the way, by one person's account, the Rapture is supposed to happen on Saturday, and it's already Saturday in parts of Asia and Europe (7:41 am in Poland.) Have you heard any alarming news?

please be careful to your information dude, you might be called a false prophet. anyone who declares wrong information about the upcoming event of the messiah will be considered as false prophets. you must hold strong and reliable source of infos and of course the knowledge from the bible to defend your facts and not by just stating to public. be careful to your words.:) this is just a friendly reminder from you bro-in-Christ! Shalom

Young Dude, these are your words:
“please be careful to your information dude, you might be called a false prophet. anyone who declares wrong information about the upcoming event of the messiah will be considered as false prophets.”
“Christ will once again appear in this world to take those who believe in Him and those who do His Word. and those who are not, they will all be left behind to suffer from upcoming tribulation that the world has ever known.“
So you are telling me that you are a false prophet. Because “Christ will once again appear in this world to take those who believe in Him and those who do His Word. and those who are not, they will all be left behind to suffer from upcoming tribulation that the world has ever known“ is false information. It is not in the Bible. I will show you what “is” in the Bible.

Hello there! I must agree with you. The end of the world is far from happening any time soon. Besides, only God knows when the end will come. Remember, not even the angels and the saints know the time, only GOD.

Well Truely iam not ready for the coming of Christ cause in my life i never gaved importance to church and all the preachings but as time passed iam coming near to him but still as temptations arise iam set back to my normal sinful life. I want to change it but every time i fall in the same pit. If christ comes now i wont be able to face him cause iam not strong in faith. and i need more time to save my salvation.

As a christian of the penticostal faith. I believe in the end time revealation which you have just stated in your piece. However, I would say that I am not ready for the end time rapture because I have not developed a strong faith in christ. I still need more time to enjoy the material things of this earth. Sometimes, this end time threat ( although absolutely true as stated in the holy bible ) I still feel it sometimes steal away the pleasures that is associated with this earth.
I still believe the earth is the best place to live despite all it seemingly problems.

just keep on praying dude. ask Jesus to be the Rock of your foundation for you to be established. Earth is not the promise of GOd,, because it will pass away.

These are things that happen throughout history, they are nothing new. stop trying to be a fear monger. there willl be no rapture, it's a made up story. religion has caused more war and terror than anything else in the world.
stop fear mongering and just try to work on being a moral person.that's how the world will be a better place, if everyone tries to improve thier own behavior

Improving ones behavior includes respect dude, If you don't believe, don't criticize. You have your freewill to do what you want we have the right to discuss what we believe. Stop being a wet blanket it is not cool at all. God Bless

Where can I go to see these safety precautions being implemented, and what form are they in? Who and why,are these people trying to do all things? Where can I see and speak to those who try to save the world from its doom? Are people flocking to Churches in greater numbers because they fear the end? Is an earthquake or a series of earthquakes really a sign of the end? Do you or anyone, know for sure that Christ has ever appeared in this world?
Is it possible that you are just trying to use scare tactics to rustle up some unwanted and unneeded Rapture?

saints go up pre rupture or post rupture? I think the timing is crucial, imagine time when airline pilot suddenly disappeared or the train driver disappeared or the surgeon in surgery disappeared and such , will cause massive jam or accidents.maybe until a time when computer or AI take over the human daily tasks maybe then rupture will happen when computer will take over the drivers.

nope. your definitely wrong dude! rapture may come right away. try to search about this "one-time" event that the world will ever face. be well informed about the second coming and it's up to you if you would believe it or not. it's in his decision where the power of a man lies because a simple choice could create a lifetime consequence. remember that a thief comes at night when no one is aware so as the Son of Man when He again will rise from heaven not to save but to judge those who believe and not.

hi MarElizSon, the hour of the Rapture no one knows. Believers will just have to be prepared for the moment and be watchful of the unfolding events happening around the world, the intensity and frequency of which will become more regular.

What I can say is I am trying my best to be ready if that happens, And I wish I was not at the very edge of temptation when that happens. Come on, I know you know what I mean, even believers hve their times of weakness, Maybe the best thing that we can always do is to pray when that time comes, we are all in the midst of honoring Him and not and the edge of breaking our bonds...Peace

Do you have a biblical evidence that this so called "rapture" will really happen? I believe that the proponent of such belief is the protestant John Nelson Darby. Do you really believe in Darby's stand that there is such a thing as rapture?

i dont know who's John Derby is that. i only know Jesus, my savior, who told me everything through the Bible. rapture is stated in Matthew 24, Daniel 7. 1&2 Thessalonians and also in Revelation. try to read some of those chapters for a moment so that you may be informed to the things that will come and how to have your salvation. it's just an ABC away for you to be saved.

This is great discussion that i have not se for long , i have been here but i just come up and see this post and read and response to it..
Yes,i am ready because i am safe,secured my second life because i have the Lord Jesus CHRIST in my Heart..I am nothing to scared of because i am with the Lord one day when the rapture will come..
It is sad to those who left behnd and will suffer the warth of God that will purge out in this wicked world to suffer those who does not believe Jesus ,and the anti Christ will rise and will deceive many.
