I believe that it is not geographic location but political ideology. I think Gog and Magog are communists. Read Ezekiel 37-39. It gives me goosebumps every time.
That's a really interesting perspective. I never thought about using a political lens for interpretation. I've noted those chapters and will read them later when I have time. Thanks.
Also keep in mind that Ezekiel didn't know that Christians would exist. Jesus himself called us his children. I believe that is what God is telling me.
We probably are and that means things are about to get really rough, WW3, mark of the beast and mass famine and starvation before Jesus returns. Prep accordingly.
Matt 24:36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows." This verse still applies. Read in context. The fact that so many say it's the end times tells me it's not.
That is referring specifically to the day and hour of Christs return only. Christ himself told us what the signs of the end times would be so that we could at least know that things are starting to happen and prepare our hearts and minds
EDIT: Also, early manuscripts dont say “nor the son himself” and i tend to agree as Christ as God would most certainly know that
The answer is yes. He is God but took the form of a man thus why he is described as a son of the Father in heaven. This is further understood by studying the Trinity.
I just read a chapter about the end times. The thing is, we don't really know when it'll start or how long it'll last do we? Jesus was saying some of the deciples would be around for the end times, so if that's true then we've been in the end times for over 2000 years. Maybe we're in the part of the false profits. Maybe the great big T with the planets aligning Jan 6th is a sign. I really have no idea. The one thing I do know is we should be ready at all times.
I'm not scholarly by any means. Just my two cents.
It will last seven years. Do a search on it and see what you think. The Jews have a nation again. There will be a mark on your head or right hand required to buy, sell, or trade. The anti-Christ will incur a head injury and miraculously survive. Dig in to it. It would be worth 30 minutes of your day to have a well-informed stance.
I would pour day old coffee over the heads of people acting like fire is raining from the sky, locusts are eating everyone and everything, plague is destroying the planet and the dead are walking just because politics are going to shit and we are being assaulted from all sides including within
We are DEFINITELY approaching a Crisis, as is described by William Strauss and Neil Howe's book "The Fourth Turning." That's an existential event that can destroy or renew a society. In this case, either Great Reset or Great Awakening. This happens every 80 years. 80 years ago, it was World War 2. 80 years before that, the Civil War. 80 years before that, the Revolutionary War.
As for the Bible....
I'm Jewish, and I heard a couple Rabbis describe this as preparation for end times. I'm not one for the Book of Revelation (though I am pretty creeped out with the "without the mark one cannot buy or sell" and that being linked to Vaccine compliance microchips). But from the Jewish angle....
... Rabbi Kessin is a big fan of President Trump and sees him as a Messianic figure. Not THE Messiah, but someone who helps the way FOR the Messiah. In Christian terms, that would be like John the Baptist.
He also says this is the repentance of Esau, and has some interesting ideas on that. General Jewish interpretation: The Jews are the descendants of Jacob. Muslims, the descendants of Ishmael. Christians, the descendants of Esau.
Kessin's interpretation is that Esau is a complicated figure. He was supposed to be the fourth patriarch, but had some problems. And he has three portions. The cruelty of Esau, the hypocrisy of Esau, and the good side of Esau. He goes on to bring it down to modern day: Russia and the eastern block was the Cruel side of Esau. Europe with their holocausts was the hypocritical part of Esau. America is the good side of Esau. And Trump is the chance for the good side to win out over the other two. Once done, and Esau's redemptive arc is achieved, he and Jacob will rejoin each other, finally.
(Genesis 33: Esau and Jacob plan to go to Seir. Jacob lets Esau go on ahead with "I'll catch up and meet you there" but never does.).
Kessin is optimistic that the chaos we are seeing is the Satanic force launching it's desperate final attack with all its strength to stop the Messianic process... and will ultimately fail. But the final attacks of a dying enemy are the strongest.
Rabbi Anova, on the other hand, has a different message. Biden won't save us. Trump won't save us. A vaccine won't save us. A terrible evil is coming across the world where they will poison us, take us all to concentration camps (FEMA here, I suppose) and the only thing we can really do is repent and get right with G-d. There is nothing else -- NOTHING else that can help us.
Well it wont “end up” being Jesus if He always was it! I beg you to look into the shear odds of any one person fulfilling the messianic prophecies the way Jesus did (other than the ones yet to be fulfilled in the end times)....Its astronomical.
I’ll say this the world has been in much worse shape before, but it definitely feels we’re a lot closer this time than ever before. I suspect whoever wins this battle for president will probably decide if it happens In our lifetime. But regardless people have been guessing the date wrong for 2000 years and counting, there’s a reason God put in We will not know when. Keep fighting with the knowledge of his return and ultimate victory, but don’t be like the guessers in the past that have stopped Fighting for this world both spiritually and physically the moment they think they know the date.
Hardly. You think this is the "biblical end times?"
Imagine how people felt when the great depression started.
Imagine how the world woupd have felt during WW2 or when the first atomic bomb dropped.
Everyone thinks that the war they are fighting, the time they are living in is "the most epic," "the time fo end all times" just because they are living in it.
We’ve been in Biblical Ends times since Christ rose on the 3rd day. Every day since then is the end times. And rest assured, He will Return. No one knows the time or place, but we do know He will. Do not put your faith in anyone or anything but God. The created should not worship or have faith in the creation but the Creator.
No, Christians always say the end times are around the corner. It’s often used as a controlling or manipulative conversation.
Live your life to the fullest, have whatever relationship with God you have, stop worrying about “when” the end times are coming. God didn’t place us here to “worship” and fixate on a set date of “the end”. He put us here to enjoy life, enjoy one another and have a relationship with him.
That being said, we obviously have some hard times ahead.
I take a premilennial and literal interpretation of Scripture (which, yes, does recognize literary devices like metaphor and didactic tools like parables, and biblical genres). Reading Scripture like this gives one a view of the end times that is truly supernatural. If you're a Christian, you won't even have to ask, "Is this the end times?" It is something so unique, global and cataclysmic that it can't possibly be anything else.
Ive never been religious, but the entire world sure seems like it's about to choose between a thousand years of darkness and a thousand years of light. The scale of the globalist conspiracy, the consequences to the world, and the willingness of hordes of idiots to beg for more state control of their lives and even fight for their oppressors is certainly biblical in scale. Nothing on this level has ever happened before. We certainly wont be able to buy or sell under the nwo without submission.
🤷♂️ Possibly! Some stuff still needs to happen... Best thing to do is always live as tho it is imminent. Jesus tells us it's still going to be a surprise inspite of the signs and prophecies he also gave us.
I believe we are on a crash course with the events in Revelation. BUT, that is only the crash collision end point. Untill that point, WE have control and the free will to take action or non action. Taking action and NOT rejecting Christ, means we move along the timeline pushing revelations back as we travel forward. The moment we as a society reject Christ and His values, that is when the crash course collision with revelation continues to come closer together untill we arrive at the final destination.
Accept Christ and His teachings. This changes your heart in a positive way. Your heart being changed, effects those around you. Those around you can be affected in a positive way, and they themselves can change. This ripple effect of positive change then impacts the world.
Like wise. Rejecting Christ and his teachings harden's your heart. Your heart being hardened affects you and those around you in a negative way. Those around you affected by the negativity, in turn lash out in a negative way. This ripple effect of negative hardened hearts eventually creates a wave that impacts the world in a negative way.
Yes, but not yet. The biggest thing that is missing is that the Man of Sin has to be revealed, that is, the antichrist. Also, the 3rd temple and everything else like the mark of the beast. These things are not there yet, but we are close and may already see glimpses of how these get enforced.
I was an atheist a year ago. My grandad always told me the signs.
Yeah not an atheist any more.
Thinking about some of the signs, I only worry things are not what they seem to be for us— if these are the times described in the Bible.
Than have faith. This is the time to repent and build your foundation with The Lord
I love when God let's me get raped in the ass. Thanks big guy. Awesome plan.
We are right before the Battle of Gog and Magog. In my opinion. I have been praying alot.
I once read that one of the interpretations of Gog and Magog is that they are modern day China and Russia.
I believe that it is not geographic location but political ideology. I think Gog and Magog are communists. Read Ezekiel 37-39. It gives me goosebumps every time.
That's a really interesting perspective. I never thought about using a political lens for interpretation. I've noted those chapters and will read them later when I have time. Thanks.

We probably are and that means things are about to get really rough, WW3, mark of the beast and mass famine and starvation before Jesus returns. Prep accordingly.
You misspelled pray.
That’s part of prepping
pray and prep, God didnt give us hands and a brain to sit around and do nothing as we so often do.
If we aren't in them, we're close.
Matt 24:36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows." This verse still applies. Read in context. The fact that so many say it's the end times tells me it's not.
That's correct, no one will know the "day or hour" however we can know the SEASON.
Read a few verses earlier than the verse you chose for more context.
Matthew 24:32-33
That is referring specifically to the day and hour of Christs return only. Christ himself told us what the signs of the end times would be so that we could at least know that things are starting to happen and prepare our hearts and minds
EDIT: Also, early manuscripts dont say “nor the son himself” and i tend to agree as Christ as God would most certainly know that
This is the fundamental problem with Christianity. Is Jesus G*d or is Jesus the lords son?
I think I'll just stick with the older part myself.
The answer is yes. He is God but took the form of a man thus why he is described as a son of the Father in heaven. This is further understood by studying the Trinity.
Mike Lindell said the same thing at the DC rally two weeks ago.
Use promo code END Times for 7% off!
You'll sleep like a baby, straight through the rapture.
Fell into the floor on that reply. He needs to hire us!
We are on the precipice.

The book of revelation is the only book in the Bible that explicitly grants a blessing to those who read or hear it.
Biblical end times are always used to scare people during the days of adversity.
We are not in the end times.
Worse things have happened to the world and we have persevered.
That's not the End Times, tho. The end of a chapter but not the story. A historical event not caused by divine forces.
The end times is the end of the world, not the end of an empire.
Please get educated and learn the difference between the two.
The fall of the Romans was not the biblical end times. We would not be alive if that were the case.
Dumbasses, I swear.

“... Rabbi Kessin is a big fan of President Trump and sees him as a Messianic figure. Not THE Messiah...”
Right because Jesus Is the messiah.
Whether the messiah ends up being Jesus or somebody else, Trump's setting the table.
Well it wont “end up” being Jesus if He always was it! I beg you to look into the shear odds of any one person fulfilling the messianic prophecies the way Jesus did (other than the ones yet to be fulfilled in the end times)....Its astronomical.
Heres an interesting pdf on it:

I believe this
I'm not religious but I'm starting to fucking consider it
Bible does say that the end will come when nobody expects it.
I hope. I will either be ushered away to be with the Lord or I’ll stay and fight and be with the Lord. His call, I am ready.
I’ll be right beside you during it or after❤️
I put the odds somewhere between 35 and 45%
I’ll say this the world has been in much worse shape before, but it definitely feels we’re a lot closer this time than ever before. I suspect whoever wins this battle for president will probably decide if it happens In our lifetime. But regardless people have been guessing the date wrong for 2000 years and counting, there’s a reason God put in We will not know when.

I believe we are
No, people always go to this when things are tough. It's just human history
Hardly. You think this is the "biblical end times?"
Imagine how people felt when the great depression started.
Imagine how the world woupd have felt during WW2 or when the first atomic bomb dropped.

I am no longer certain what I believe.
Just about every generation since 33 AD thought they were living in the Biblical end times.
We aren't but the end times began with Jesus on the cross
🤷♂️ Possibly! Some stuff still needs to happen... Best thing to do is always live as tho it is imminent. Jesus tells us it's still going to be a surprise inspite of the signs and prophecies he also gave us.
Gonna need to rebuild Solomon’s temple first I believe.

Yes, but not yet. The biggest thing that is missing is that the Man of Sin has to be revealed, that is, the antichrist. Also, the 3rd temple and everything else like the mark of the beast. These things are not there yet, but we are close and may already see glimpses of how these get enforced.
probably, but who's gonna rebuild the temple. maybe a little ways out but things are getting awfully convenient for Satan.
No. No man will know when the end times are coming
When pedo Joe is in the oval office
The thought mostly worries me because, if this were the case, things might not be what we think they are.
