Is this a sign of the Last Days?

Ok, I'm not sure about this. Not meaning to put it in the Religion category but I'd like some input on this.

On Monday morning I was feeding my livestock, it was 0 with the wind chill/14 degrees, sun was out and not a cloud in the sky. Nothing weird about that but it was snowing like mad, for an hour without a cloud and the sun out in full force.

That isn't the end though. That night I was done feeding the livestock again and went over to the little pond by the barn where the ducks and geese swim and they were mad cause it was all iced over as it had been all day long. On Tuesday morning, I headed out to feed them again and the ice on the pond was gone, it was 25 degrees all night long & the water troughs for the livestock were covered in ice. SO, how on earth did the ice melt and how did snow form when no clouds and full sun? Is this a sign of the Last Days?

Just asking.

Update:

Tammy, the ice melted during the night and 2 weeks ago I cleaned out the pond with the backhoe so not enough manure from the birds to cause this in 25 degree temps at night, no sun. Oh, by the way, Satan has no wife. Don't know who told your grandmother that one.

Update 2:

Ted, how on earth did you come up with that?

Update 3:

Oom, thanks for not insulting me but giving a direct answer.

Update 4:

Fallen Angel, I can understand that and will keep it in mind. I can't however find anything that would cause the ice to melt at 25 degrees.

    Interesting. The weather has often been erratic with her signs at times. But we have seen an increase or an "acceleration in certain patterns" in our time unlike any time before. That is measured and we can see that. That is Science which has been explained in different ways. But it is also a sign of coming times. Some of the things you talk about have happen before. I'm not sure that is so unusual. People often look for signs on the earth in our weather and it's effects to see patterns.

    Water freezes usually at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below. And stays that way unless other factors enter in- how warm the ground underneath is (many factors there can warm the earth underneath--and that might explain yours) But from what you say-- The sun light could be the biggest factor there even if the temperature is below it's light sometimes can melt.(which you talk about--saying even a clear day with not a cloud in the sky. How bright was the sun?-because it can have a very warming affect)

    I'm not going to say yours is a definite sign. That seems explainable..... On the same hand and a possibility... And something else to think about, let it be said from reading the scriptures, it seems God might have alter or has allowed weather conditions to redirect "personal" route, to change their plans.

    (perhaps maybe even in our thinking-maybe yours even-I don't know did it?) So I won't rule that out entirely.

    Jesus pointed directly to these times (today) in terms of when the last days would start so don't listen to the ignoramuses answering you. The world is in travail as if you could not witness the vast increase in tsunamis, earthquakes, droughts and floods for yourself.

    While the average rain that falls on one during a storm typically starts off about 10km away, the snow could do the same within an atmosphere that had frozen suspended particles that melt in the sunlight.

    So all kinds of things are happening all around us but He said that the whole world will see him so rather watch for His coming at one of the Feast of Trumpets probably in 2015. also keep an eye on the 'Blood Moon' Tetrads that happen this and next year because Israel is going to war in 2015 as witnessed by the solar eclipse midyear so things in terms of the Last Days are really hotting up.

    Also follow RITAN - raptureintheairnow.com site for some interesting and relevant updates although don't get carried away with some of their false enthusiasm.

    I can't even begin to remember the exact number of time that I've heard a person claim that we're living in our last days. Though I don't know much about the Bible. I do know that it does contain Scriptures that talk about things that have been going on for centuries. I.e. 2 Timothy 3:1-9. "For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy" And that's just the second verse.

    I took the iniative to look up this tidbit of the following information for you. :)

    "It was not snow that you observed but precipitation known as ice crystals. It consists of exceedingly tiny, almost microscopic, particles of ice, usually in the form of needles, that slowly fall from a cloudless sky. The fall speed is so slight that individual crystals appear to float in the air.

    When illuminated by sunlight (or by moonlight or artificial light at night), the crystals sparkle and glitter quite spectacularly and for that reason are also known as diamond dust.

    Ice crystals form in very cold air, usually at subzero temperatures, that is also nearly saturated (relative humidity approaching 100 percent)."

    This may help explain why the ice melted... http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/2000-11/97564...

    My grandmother said that meant the devil was beating his wife. When it was sunny and raining or snowing at the same time. She's been dead for 25 years. She was 84 when she died. So, that's been going on for a while.

    I don't think it's a "sign of the times"

    Poop is warm. It generates heat. So, the sun shine on the top of the pond warmed the ice from the top and the decomposing poop in the bottom of the pond warmed the ice from that side=melted ice.

    I don't think that's a sign of the times either.

    Yes I know satan doesn't have a wife. Satan isn't even real. I was making the point that your weather phenom is nothing new.

    Didn't get the answer you wanted?

    OK, here.

    "OOOOOOOOO no, the end times are here!!!!!!

    People have been seeing signs that the "End Times" are here since, roughly, the day after Jesus supposedly died. Since, according to the Bible, not even he knew when the End Times would come, all those thousands of claimed signs over the last two millennia are false.

    Odds are yours is too.

    Harpazo = Rapture

    END-TIME BIBLE PROPHECY

    The Messiah Lord Jesus said BIRTH PANGS would signal the time of the end (Matthew 24:8). There are NINE birth pangs, they are all PRE-TRIBULATIONAL and the 1st three already occurred.

    The first birth pang was worldwide conflict coupled with famines and earthquakes (Matthew 24:7-8). Worldwide conflict was fulfilled in 1914-1918, major famines happened in 1918-1921 and most of the world’s major earthquakes began to occur since 1900.

    The second birth pang was the restoration of a Jewish State (Ezekiel 20:33-38; Ezekiel 22:17-22; Ezekiel 36:22-24; Zephaniah 2:1-2). This was fulfilled in 1948.

    The third birth pang was Jewish control of the Old City of Jerusalem (Revelation 11:1-2). For the third Jewish Temple (Tribulation Temple) to be rebuilt, Jerusalem needs to be under Jewish control and this was accomplished in the Six Day War in 1967.

    The fourth birth pang will be the Ezekiel 38 war. Russia, allied states of Iran, Ethiopia, Somalia, Germany and Armenia will invade Israel. God will miraculously destroy the invading army by earthquake, civil war among the invading soldiers, pestilence, blood, flood, hailstones, fire and brimstone. This will bring a revival in Israel where many Jews will turn to the Lord, and Israel will spend 7 years and 7 months burying the bodies and burning for fuel the military equipment left behind (Ezekiel 39:9-16).

    The 5th birth pang will be the development of a one world government (Daniel 7:23-24).

    The 6th birth pang will be the splitting of the one world government into 10 kingdoms and this Ten Kingdom Stage will continue until mid-Tribulation (Daniel 7:24).

    The 7th birth pang will be the revelation of the Antichrist (II Thessalonians 2:1-3; Daniel 7:24).

    The 8th birth pang will be a period of peace and false security that will be shattered by the Tribulation (1 Thessalonians 5:1-3).

    The 9th and final birth pang before the Tribulation is the signing of the 7-year covenant between Israel and the Antichrist. THIS EVENT IS WHAT BEGINS THE (7-year) TRIBULATION - NOT THE RAPTURE!

    The Rapture of the Church (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) is also a pre-tribulational event (Luke 21:34-37; 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10; Revelation 3:10; Revelation 19:6-8). The fact that the Church is not mentioned in any of the Tribulation Scriptures proves the Rapture is pre-tribulational. All raptured Christians will receive glorified bodies (Romans 8:22-23; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54)) and it can happen at any second.

    THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRIBULATION (SUPPORTING VERSES IN REVELATION 6-9 AND 17)

    The Ministry of 144,000 sealed Jewish believers will bring many throughout the world to accept Christ.

    There will be a powerful Ministry of Two Witnesses who will also be anointed Jewish believers.

    A one world religious system (Babylon the Harlot) will rule. Under this one world religious system, many who are saved during the Tribulation will suffer persecution and death.

    The Political system of the 10 kings of the one world government will continue.

    During the first half of the Tribulation there will also be war, worldwide famine, death (1/4 of the world’s population will die), a huge earthquake, a blackout and a meteor shower. 1/3 of earth’s dry surface will be destroyed, 1/3 sea life and salt water will be destroyed, a fallen angel called Wormwood will make 1/3 of earth’s fresh water bitter, 1/3 of earth’s natural light sources will be destroyed, there will be another blackout and demons in the form of “locust-scorpions” will come up out of the abyss led by Abaddon their king and they will inflict harm and pain for five months upon those who are not sealed by God (unbelievers). Another demonic invasion will occur and the demons involved will be led by four fallen angels who will be released from the Euphrates River and this army will kill 1/3 of the earth’s population.

    MID-TRIBULATION (SUPPORTING VERSES IN REVELATION 10-14 AND 17)

    The Antichrist will war against the 10 kings, and during the war the Antichrist will be killed.

    Satan will be cast out of the atmospheric heavens onto earth and will resurrect the Antichrist.

    The Antichrist will kill 3 kings (the kings of Syria, Egypt and Mesopotamia) and the 7 other kings will submit to him.

    The Antichrist will kill the Two Witnesses in Jerusalem and the wicked people will celebrate this event. Three and a half days afterwards, God will resurrect the Two Witnesses and take them up to Heaven and the people who celebrated will become terrified. The city of Jerusalem where the murder of the Two Witnesses occurred will then suffer an earthquake which will kill 7,000 people.

    The False Prophet will receive from Satan the power to perform great miracles and will deceive many. The False Prophet will command all people to worship the Antichrist and have persons create an image to the Antichrist. The False Prophet will use his satanic powers to give it life and the ability to speak. The False Prophet will cause those who refuse to worship the Antichrist and the image to be killed.

    The False Prophet will issue his own counterfeit seal known as the Mark of the Beast and it will be placed on all those who surrender to the Antichrist’s authority and accept him as god. Those who refuse to take this mark will not be able to buy or sell. Those who take this mark will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire.

    The Antichrist will break the seven-year covenant he made with Israel, cause the sacrifices to stop, sit in the Jewish Temple, declare to the world that he is really God and set up an idol called the Abomination of Desolation in the Temple (Daniel 9:27; Daniel 12:11; Matthew 24:15-16; 11Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 13:11-15).

    Through the Antichrist and the False Prophet, Satan will attempt to destroy the Jews once and for all but he will fail because 1/3 of the Jews will succeed in fleeing into the wilderness. These Jews who escape will accept the Lord Jesus as their Saviour during the Tribulation (Zechariah 13:7-9) and while they are in hiding, God will miraculously provide for them (Zechariah 13:8-9; Isaiah 41:17-20). Divine intervention will also destroy the pursuing army.

    THE SECOND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION (SUPPORTING VERSES FOUND IN REVELATION 15, 16, 18, 19, 20)

    In the second half of the Tribulation, those with the Mark of the Beast will suffer skin sores, the remainder of sea water and fresh water will be destroyed, the sun will cause terrible burns and the wicked will blaspheme God. There will be yet another blackout and persons will suffer gnawing pains.

    Babylon will be the center of world economy and political system but Babylon will be swiftly destroyed by fire and become uninhabitable for man.

    The Antichrist will locate the Jews who sought refuge in the wilderness and surround them with his armies to wipe them out. The Lord Jesus will then descend from Heaven with His angels and Saints. He will come with great glory riding upon a horse and will destroy the Antichrist, the False Prophet and all of their armies. After this, a loud voice will cry out “It is done!” followed by the greatest earthquake in the earth’s history and hail weighing 120 pounds will fall.

    At the end of the Tribulation, there will be another blackout, the stars will fall from the sky and the heavenly bodies will be shaken (Matthew 24:29), the Antichrist and the False Prophet will be thrown into the eternal Lake of Fire and Satan will be cast into the Abyss and bound for 1,000 years.

    THE MILLENNIUM

    The Lord Jesus will reign over the entire earth during the Millennium. The Jewish and Gentile believers who survive the Tribulation will go on to populate the Millennium. Believers who died before and during the Tribulation and believers who were raptured will be present on earth during the Millennium and because they will have glorified bodies they will not reproduce. All believers will be given special tasks by the Lord Jesus (Revelation 20:4-6). There will be no wars (Isaiah 2:2-4), animals will return to the Edenic state and become vegetarians (Isaiah 11:6-9), people will not labour in vain but eat what they plant and inhabit what they build, there will be renovations in the heavens and earth and there will be righteous and unrighteous children born during the Millennium (Isaiah 65:17-25).

    At the end of the Millennium, Satan will be loosed from the Abyss and will deceive and gather the unrighteous for a war against the righteous. This will be his final attempt to destroy the righteous and when the unrighteous of the Millennium surround the good people, God will send fire down from Heaven which will suddenly and massively annihilate all of the wicked people. Satan will then be cast into the Lake of Fire where he will remain in torment for eternity (Revelation 20:7-10).

    THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT

    The Great White Throne Judgment will be the next main event. The old heavens and earth will be done away with and all will stand before God’s throne to be judged (Revelation 20:11-12). Those whose names are not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire which will be their final and eternal abode (Revelation 20:14-15).

    THE ETERNAL ORDER (REVELATION 21 AND 22)

    Those whose names are found in the Book of Life will enjoy paradise with God forever. The heavens and earth will be made new and the New Jerusalem will come down upon the earth making the earth like Heaven. All curses from the fall will be removed and the earth will be inhabited by the Triune God (The Father, Son and Holy Spirit), all angels and all of the righteous. The seas, moon, night and sun will be done away with and the glory of God will illuminate the earth. The River of Life will flow from God’s throne, the Tree of Life will bear health-giving fruits and leaves and the name of Jesus will be on the foreheads of all of the righteous.

    I love how you feel like you're the only person on this planet. So many other things in the world were happening while you were with your ducks. But of course only you can see the end of days.

  • 7 years ago

    It is not a scriptural sign of the "End of Days". But if you see this as a sign of the existence of God I agree with you.
