The endtime will happen on a sudden like a trap springing shut and everyone will be caught in it.
If you are as I, you are not a bit surprised at the terryfying *to other s) events occurring every day. It does not surprise you that most if not all coundtries seem to have demons holding the reins.
What you have posted is absolutely the way it will be but not for those who are waiting the Return. God bless youand I certainly hope allundersd your post.

Lots of people, even on secular forums, are asking if this is the end times. There are always a few but it seems more prevalent now. Is Holy Spirit speaking to their hearts? We believers must be ready to share the gospel, the hope in the blessed Redeemer, at any moment. People are searching for answers.

Some are saying they are having unusual or end times dreams. Regardless, I wouldn't expect the last days to look any different than what we see today.

Jesus is Lord.

While I do love what you are saying, [Come Lord Jesus come, amen] But I mark the commencement of the end-times from events Paul spoke about. I.e the great rebellion, the man of rebellion being revealed the son of perdition, who will ...

who will oppose everything called god and everything that is worshipped as god

This is the great end-times persecution Christ and the apostles warn us about also known as The Great Tribulation.

Antichrist is revealed first before Jesus comes.

This is what I say will happen on a sudden like a trap being sprung, We SEE with our eyes that trap being set up all around us.

The troubles seen at present will not compare to the tribulation judgements. I say first item on the list is permission to build the temple and the covenant with many by the coming antichrist. But there will also be others not happy with the arrangement and peace as we know it will be taken from the earth. IMO

We are one day closer than we were yesterday...
I can say that will full assurance of accuracy. Beyond that I really wouldn't put any money on it.

didn’t jesus already rebuild the temple ? And some didn’t see it

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.”
‭‭John‬ ‭2:19-22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
‭‭John‬ ‭4:21, 23-24‬ ‭KJV‬

since Jerusalem’s temples importance was Gods presence in the inner room , didn’t this become the reason e bricks and mortar temple was no longer necassary


“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and in everlasting it’s still not a man made temple

“And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“ in christ” who became our everything even temple where we worship in spirit and truth and not sacrifice of animals and sprinkling of blood it seems those thkngs have all been fulfilled for us so we can just focus on the lord

The `end times,` refers to the end of the times of the Gentiles ruling the world, not the end of the world. (Just to clear that up.)

Right now Iran has just put its military in the Golan heights on the Syrian side. Then Russia has a sea port, airport and military bases in Syria, so it is all getting lined up. This is for the Russian Federation plus Iran, Libya and Ethiopia to go to the Golan heights to destroy Israel. God intervenes, as we know.

However it is very close. I am thinking of early next year, and if we see that day approaching, (Heb. 10: 25) then we are off to glory.

It is apparent your thinking is more political and of this age. I could be wrong, because I have erred before. So hava=e all men.

There is a New Jerusalem, the capital of the true Israel into which all who believe Jesus Yeshua are adopted andd the same.

Hi JaumeJ,

Yes that is the Political side. However as regards us, the Body of Christ, soon we will `all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God...` (Eph. 4: 13) and be caught away to glory.

Glory, the third heaven, the angelic realm, Mount Zion in heaven, Christ`s throne, that is where we will go to. We are not destined for the New Jerusalem which comes DOWN out of HEAVEN from GOD. (Rev. 21: 2)

`To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on my throne. `(Rev. 3: 21)

In Matthew 24, I believe the Lord Yeshua gave us real quantifiable and measurable signs that will precede His arrival.

The all-important question, "3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"

Jesus answers this question in no uncertain terms:

The beginning of sorrows
1.
There will be false Christs. Matt. 24:5
2. Wars, rumors of wars. Matt. 24:6
3. Famines, pestilences, earthquakes. Matt. 24:7
4. Christian persecution and martyrdom. Matt. 24:9
5. Easily-offended people who will betray you and hate you. Matt. 24:10
6. False prophets deceiving many. Matt. 24:11
7. Iniquity abounds, love of many grows cold. Matt. 24:13
8. The gospel is preached in all of the world, then the end comes. Matt. 24:14

The internet is a vast wealth of resources and information. We can actually research if the number of false Christ's, wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, Christian persecution, where the gospel has been preached, etc. I have actually looked this up before. All of these things have increased in frequency and intensity within the last 100 years than any known time before.

No, just the opposite. God's word is eternal, it echoes thru time and eternity. And as such one fulfillment does not render it moot. That's what's behind history repeating itself. Persecution and 'tribulation' started the moment Jesus ascended. It's grown more and more as the years have passed, and what we see in the end times is just one more final escalation to a level never seen or conceived of before. It's a growth, not a light switch. Which is why the Bible exhorts us many times to not become complacent.
