Do you believe we are living in the last days?

It also hints at financial turmoil, Babylon the great prostitute that sits on many waters will rise up and become the dominant economic, military and cultural empire in the world. It will rule over huge swathes of the world and wage war with whoever it wants. It will fight in the Middle East and against religious people it hates. All nations of the world trade with it, and it thinks of itself as indestructible and completely safe, far away from most other nations. This nation will be completely destroyed.

Also there will also be famines.

There will be earthquakes.

There will be widespread adultery and fornication, propagated by Babylon the prostitute nation.

Take that at whatever value you want.

Where exactly is Babylon?

Well you see the Bible uses the word "Babylon" in multiple ways. There is the old Babylon, an old empire that was destroyed in the nowadays Middle East. And then there is "Babylon the prostitute, the Bible uses this word to demarcate between the old, destroyed Babylon and the new Babylon, obviously since the old Babylon hasn't been around for even before the New Testament was written. But Babylon is also the name of the City that lies within greater Babylon. Why is the term Babylon used, because new Babylon will be like old Babylon, warlike and anti-God, even though it does not understand it.

Revelations 17:18

Everything that I've written can be found in Revelations, Isaiah and Jeremiah of the Bible.

Again take it as you will.

Thank you for offering no proof and ignoring all the posts made.

Also, the burden of proof rests squarely on the believer (the person making the claim).Pooey_Mess

Just a question? If you were shown the Ark of the Covenant and all the contents that it hides, would you believe?

again, doesnt the bible mention 1 currency and does this involve the "Amero" or maybe i miss that part or im just wrong on this matter?Tjeremiah1988

(note, this post was not directed towards you in anyway Tjeremiah. I was just using your post as a springboard.)

An interesting read about America's possible role in the end times. Even more so with some of the current events happening.omfg_its_dally

So Russia will destroy America..

It says that all the prophecies have to be fufilled, not just the one currency....

Possibly. I could believe it.

The only important difference being that our pointy sticks have become nuclear, and hydrogen in nature and have the feel of being ultimate harbingers of doom.

There is the inherent problem that the vaguer the prophecy the broader the potential interpretations. For example, "Feared nation with people who are tall and have smooth skin" is about as vague as you can get. It is certainly vague enough that, given enough time, a nation like that was bound to show up. Especially given the subjectiveness of traits like "tall and smooth-skinned."Qooroo

Several were mentioned but honestly, future prophesy is the area of theology I most lack. I can talk about most other things related to the Bible but this is the area I know least about.

in 2001 we were supposed to die, and same with 666, what makes you think 2012 will be the end?ali326

This has nothing to do with that 2012 crap. We're talking about Biblical prophecies unrelated to that.

dinosaurs > the bible.Mu5uk0

It can be argued that dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible...

there is no way the bible is true, it wastn't written bygod... right? i think it was just written by some guy who wass religiousali326

It was written by various people. All from the word of God, though.

what do you think is more realalistic Quran or bible

i say this: Quran>bible probably cause i am mouslim, buit i want your opinion

Not really... Ever read John chapter 1 for example? Places throughout scripture it speaks of God's Word and living by it.

Some people argue that because dinosaurs aren't blatantly mentioned in the Bible, that the Bible must be fiction.

Bible or no Bible, Christian or not Christian...the world WILL end, sure enough by the sun when it dies, but that is eons in the future, but close than that is global warming which could have us wearing oxygen masks and space suits soon thanks to a future lack of oxygen. But If u are taking Bible profecies, then yes the end is just around the corner, horrible disasters...check...the bigger and stronger hurricanes/earthquakes not including the massive super quake that is supposed to wipe out the west coast of north america...that is assured to come by scientists.

The destruction of Israel, its rebuilt into a nation and soon the construction of the temple (plans already in place to build it on the same place that muslim temple is on, see how that is going to happen) Also the bible mentions that the big amount of jews will die three times, once by the romans when jerusalem was destroyed, another in the holocaust and soon a third time maybe nuclear weapon by iran or another massive persecution. One world order, first the european union and now the north american union...followed by the asian union to all come into one governement.

The beast number thing is the micro chips that ARE being used today by ALOT of peps...it is said that the gov will have the option to "kill" the chip if they want to which would literaly kill you...talk about total control! well if u don't really belive and no one is making you, just watch the news...peace talks between israel and its enemies, great man making peaces around the world, dramatic weather changes....and the contruction of the temple. It will either happen or not and if it does well...I told you so...but by then it will too late.tacubano

[QUOTE="mindstorm"][QUOTE="Qooroo"]To my knowledge, the Bible claims nothing more than to be given from the inspiration of God. Getting from that to 'The Bible is the word of God' is a bit of a leap.Qooroo

Not really... Ever read John chapter 1 for example? Places throughout scripture it speaks of God's Word and living by it.

2 Timothy 3:16 states, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness."

Joshua 1:8 also states, "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." That's not saying you'll be rich and whatnot by doing so btw. The biblical view of prosperity and success is a little different than that.

Proverbs 30:5 also says, "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him."

I find King James only people odd... sorry if there are any out there... I personally like ESV the most for study though I often us NIV when mentioning scripture to others.

-sigh- no we're not living in the last days... guess what.. the bible is wrong. every generation manages to find stuff in the bible that they interpret to mean theirs is the last generation.. and they're always wrong. our generation is no different.comp_atkins
