have the recent events made you think the rapture is near? me personally i think if Trump loses that would be the ultimate sign that the world really is coming to a closing chapter, and if he wins for me that means we're extending the time by who knows how long, but possibly a long time.

Matthew 24:36
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
The other day, my Dad tried to tell me everything we are seeing is foretold in the bible about the end times. But People have been saying that my entire life. And looking through history, seems they have been saying it since modern language has existed.
Perhaps because the warning in the Bible is a symbolic "apocalypse is always at your door" narrative, rather than a literal prediction of cataclysm.
/heresy
thats true because Christians are supposed to live as though it is always the end times, to be a good servant when the master returns home. However, right now at this time is the only time in history where every single bible prophecy has been fulfilled save the rise of the anti christ and his defeat at the hands of God and some events leading up to that and a little bit after.
Seriously, it's chilling when you learn about it, just how many prophecies are now fulfilled and many of them have happened in 1 life time, things that until today sounded like crazy talk impossible and specific stuff. You should learn about it.
I am afraid once I step into that rabbit hole I won't make it out until I am unable to recognize my own craziness anymore. haha The issue also, is there is no definitive authority to believe. And if you refer to only the Bible, then How would I know I am interpreting it correctly? I have never met two people that got the same thing from the same passage in the Bible. I've asked one question/request to many preachers/ministers over the years and none could answer it. Explain dinosaurs. We have hard evidence they existed. You would think if a scaly monster the size of a building were around they'd play prominently in the Bible.
Therefore, Other than those that wrote it, I don't believe anyone can correctly understand what is written..
Yeah I get what your saying, I was essentially an Atheist for 15 years, one who spent a great deal of time on the subject not a passive one, before God showed me how to understand his word.
It's weird because those years now feel like the worst years of my life but at the same time the lessons I've learned because of Gods patience and forgiveness have been among the greatest blessings, that I still marvel at and struggle with on a personal level. That's kind of how the bible is, it's profound in a way that is beyond human capacity, if your heart is hard to it you cannot hear what it's saying to you.
On a more material level, this channel does a pretty decent job of explaining the "How" the Bible is written. Like why so many things are left out of stories and such, things that people often struggle with concerning just the physical way it's composed.
The videos are very articulate, short, with a high production value, in case you're interested. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH0Szn1yYNedn4FbBMMtOlGN-BPLQ54IH
It is not for us worry or to dwell on when it will happen. We all know it will. Stay aware to protect your soul and continue to live in manner commanded by God. Do what your conscious calls you to do for the things within your control. Give everything outside your control to God. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show. See y’all in heaven!
You're living in it, baby!
Sounds like you are a fairly young person. Back when I was one I lived through some crises that felt final, but somehow life went on. Jesus will come, but in the fullest of time and not when we think we are hitting a final wall.
