prophetofdoom Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 1. Probably in the next 5 years, though it won't have anything to do with the second coming. so-- 2016 2. No idea. Not holding my breath. 3. N/A. I believe the 2nd coming is personal and not public/global. HiJollyI have often wondered if the "2nd Coming" is more of a personal event too or a New Age of people following Jesus Christ. Quote
Obolus Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 All sin is perpetrated by either technique or technology. Because technology is growing at an exponential rate, the effect of those who use it for sin is also growing in both reach and speed at an exponential rate. What this means for us now is that things can get a lot worse a lot faster. There used to be a paradigm shift in people when technological breakthroughs would occur. The wheel, the wagon, the telegraph, the automobile, the harnessing of electricity, and the power of flight all changed people's world views, and the speed of these events allowed them the buffer time to grasp what each step meant. But these arrived much more slowly than our current technological breakthroughs. Where we are now is a period when technological breakthroughs happen far too fast for the paradigm shifts to even occur in our consciousness. We are no longer able to process them quick enough to be ready for the next thing. They happen now whether we are ready or not. It is a runaway train, and we are all disoriented and on board. I understand that certain events must occur according to prophecy. But at this point the world can essentially get "bad enough" at the drop of a hat. Quote
rex8499 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 1) 2040 2) No idea what all that might entail or when it might happen. 3) 3000. If Jesus hadn't returned by then, I'd be surprised and my faith would be shaken based on my understanding of the timeline. Quote
RescueMom Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 :taz:The second coming already happened....this is as good as it gets. Who knows...it's always wise to have food storage, as much as possible, even if it's not a years worth. You never know when an earthquake is going to hit and you'll need that food. As for the gathering, when the Prophet says so, if it already hasn't happened. As for the returning of Christ, no man will know (which leaves open the Eowyn 'I am no man' Clause) But if we just guess dates, does that push back or change the actual date? Quote
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Friday.Actually, the sponsoring nutjobs say that that the Rapture will be 21 May 2011 at 6pm LOCAL TIME. Well, it will start at the international date line, which means that for SLC (I mean, where else is the Prime Meridian of the Latter Days?) it's Friday, Midnight. Quote

We were talking about that at work last night. We decided it was going to be like the stadium "wave" in that 6 p.m. would be at different times around the world. Quote
mnn727 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Won't we all be suprised if Saturday really is it afterall? Quote
Vort Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 I think we'll be surprised no matter when it occurs. But if my Evangelical neighbors suddenly disappear tomorrow, I hope they leave their keys in the ignition. Quote

LLBNM Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 "President Hugh B. Brown, speaking in a general priesthood meeting in 1967, referred to this as a time when youth must be prepared for an era fraught with trouble, yet an era in which the forces of God would everntually prevail and bring destined glory to the Lord's kingdom." His cousel to the youth in the audience, "It seems to me that of all the signs of the times (and they are ominous and on every side) this is one of the significant signs of the times that the Church of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God, is massing its forces, getting ready for that which is to follow." "I hope that every young man under the sound of my voice will resolve tonight, I am going to keep myself clean. I am going to serve the Lord. I am going to prepare every way I can for future service, because I wnat to be prepared when the final battle shall come." "And some of you young men are going to engage in that battle. Some of you are going to engage in the final testing time, which is coming and which is closer to us than we know." My calculation that if the youngest priesthood holder is 12 years old in 1967 he was born in 1955 so the possible timeline could be between now and 2055. My blessing mentions that I will be on the earth for the coming of the Lord, I was born in 1952. OH OH Quote
