When do you think the world will end?

Our interpretation of the Mayan calendar was slightly out, rapture never came, 2012 was a bit of a joke...

Most Christians believe the end to be the second coming of Jesus, "He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead." So, when is that? Catholics are a little more specific, believing JC will come again when the Jews recognise Christ as the messiah (Catechism of the Catholic Church 674). Correct?

Update:

Nicole: What's with 7 years? 2020?

Lallaa: You're right there. No one knows, but is it sooner rather than later? Should I take out that 30 year mortgage and never need to repay :)

CalleyD: Isn't the white throne judgement after we die? Guess the end is sometime before white throne judgement.

Paul: With a name like Paul and you're not a Catholic? :)

John: You're right, I've asked several questions, all related though. Was wondering what the signs were, many are saying the time is near, but is it? Are we waiting for that big war in the Middle East? The numbers are currently stacked against the Jews - some 20m(?) vs. 1.5b+(?) Muslims.

    You ask many questions:

    The world will never end. One of the reasons for Jesus to die on the cross was to get the title deeds to the earth from the Devil. On Jesus' return this is His planet.

    On Jesus' return He will judge Christians first. The Judgement of Talents or rewards given for God's service. This is not the Great Day of Judgement.

    The dead shall be raised first and then Christian to be raised with Jesus in the clouds (Not heaven). This is the great meeting point and all Christians alive or dead will get new bodies that never wear out or grow old.

    Then all Christians return to the earth to fight the world armies of the Anti-Christ.All government and world leader will be removed from power and replaced by ones selected by Jesus.

    At the first battle of Armageddon Israel was defeated and the Arab countries used them as slave labour camps (Read prophet Joel). On Jesus' return He frees them and when He returns to Jerusalem the Jews that remain in that city (The Remnant) invites Jesus to be their king. Jesus will then rule the earth from the throne of David

    READ THE BIBLE AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT IS COMING (AND SOON)

    Many have been killed for translating, owning or giving a copy of the Bible to others. Go see the history of what Catholics did to people who had a Bible of their own. William Tyndale, was hunted down, tried and strangled as well as burnt at the stake for translating the Bible into English. His Bible translation was the basis of the King James Version (over 76 percent of it)

    THE CHURCH IS IN HEAVEN WHEN THE TRIBULATION MARTYRS ARE BEHEADED

    SCRIPTURE THAT TELLS US WHEN THE RAPTURE HAPPENS

    1. 1st. Thess. chapter 4 tells us the rapture happens before the end of the tribulation. The Lord shall descend from heaven.

    2. Revelation chapter 20, tells us the rapture happens before beheading begins.. the anti-christ government will eventually behead those that refuse the 666 mark. The tribulation martyrs missed the rapture. However, they are the only group that is resurrected at the end of the tribulation period

    3. Jesus unequivocally states that He will come during a time like the days of Noah, where people are (still) eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. It sounds like things haven't gotten too bad yet on the earth to me and people have little or no time for God. During the tribulation period most of the earth population dies according to the Bible. Jesus also references Lot and Noah's escape before description

    4. John the Revelator (Apostle John) writes in Revelation that he meets members of the church, seated and crowned in heaven, even before he sees some of the tribulation beheaded martyrs, as souls under the alter in heaven. The church is in heaven when the martyrs are being executed during the tribulation.

    ALL BIBLE SIGNS AND NEWS REPORT TELL US TRIBULATION IS VERY NEAR

    WORLD LEADERS PLAN TO INSTITUTE WORLD GOVERNMENT AND MARKING SOON

    Before taking the 666 mark, becomes a life or death, hell or heaven event, the rapture will have already occurred. Based on what's happening in the world and world leaders planning to complete marking of the entire population by 2017, the start of the tribulation is likely very soon. "They" could miss their date but the fact of the matter is, they are saying in public that they are planning to mark the entire population and split the world into 10 economic regions in the very near future. By destroying the economies of the world, which looks soon, people will be crying for a change and accept the world government.

    THE CONTRACT

    God is 3 personages, Jesus is God Himself; God the Son, & took on humanity, coming as a man to save us. Satan orchestrated a contract with sin with Adam in the Garden of Eden. Since that time, sin passes through man, therefore, Jesus was born of a virgin in order to save us of our sins & get us out of the contract. God worked out legal grounds, through Abraham, in order to save us & pour the sins of humanity on to Jesus on the Cross. Roughly 2000 years after Abraham was asked to kill / sacrifice his son, God sent His Son, on the same spot, to die for us. A man (Adam) put us in sin, a man (Jesus) gets us out of the contract Legally however, you'll have to accept it, for a pardon is not valid unless you accept it. make the right decision. If you choose to reject God, it's not God's will but your will that will be done.

    WHO JESUS IS

    JESUS, God Himself, Jehovah, YHWH, The Creator, My Savior, Fully Deity, Fully man

    Romans 10:9-13 believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. (Acts chapter 16)
