So when do the end times happen?

[Twalli]

It says we need the 4 horsemen. War, famine, pestilence, and death. We have war (Ukraine), famine in several countries and areas, pestilence (COVID-19), and death is always constant. So if they're here what are we waiting for?

[Daniela1982]

The end times don't start until the Antichrist appears. He is a man who will offer solutions to all the world's problems and everyone will vote him to be the one world leader. He will bring peace for the 1st 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation, and then the 2nd 3 1/2 years is when the 4 horsemen and all the judgements from God commence.

[smølf]

Based on witch denomination's theology?

[Daniela1982]

@smølf Well it isn't a witch. This is what Bible believing Christians believe as shown in the Bible in the book of Revelation.

[smølf]

All religious denominations make similar claims, but they are open to interpretation. Which denomination are you referring to specifically?

[Daniela1982]

@smølf Baptist and non-denominational both believe this.

[smølf]

@daniela1982 Born and raised a Baptist or newcomer?

[Daniela1982]

@smølf What is your point? Are you an atheist?

[smølf]

@daniela1982 No I do belive in the Bible, raised as a Christian until my teen years when I essentially became an agnostic and left, but the last few years with COVID and all, I made may way back to God.

[Daniela1982]

@smølf And what denomination are you? Lots of people who consider themselves Christians are actually cultists, such as the Mormons who believe that one day they will become gods too. A good book to read on this is Kingdom of the Cults, by Walter Martin. He discusses who is a cult and who isn't according to their beliefs or who God and Jesus Christ are, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, 7th Day Adventists, etc.

@daniela1982 Cult
" a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous"

Many subjective opinions here, what constitutes larger and why is that good, regarded has nothing to do with facts or evidence, and many again what number I that based on, extreme or dangerous compared to what?

The Baptists are not part of a larger and more accepted religion unless you counter Christianity, but that includes Catholics etc.., if religion is accepted then Jesus said it's not his. Baptists are regarded as extreme by most people.

Are Baptists cults then?

Tribulation has to Come NEXT. Times of Ending Times are going on Now... Read more about This in The Bible. xxoo

[smølf]

The "four horsemen of the apocalypse" as described in Revelation symbolize false religion, war and political conflict, famine and economic hardship, and death and pestilence. Revelation has other events such as the opening of the seven seals and the sounding of the seven trumpets, which are seen as signs of the end of the world.

[call_me_scar]

Never, war and all those other things literally always happen in the 1800s a bunch of people sold their homes and went to Michigan on the assumption that the end times was near this event is known as the great disappoinment as obviously nothing happened and nothing will

[ChillaxingLove]

The Euphrates river has dried up. Go in the Bible in Revelations chapter 16 and you will have a reference as to where we are on the timeline

[jshm2]

They wouldn't be the "End Times" if just any dipshit was aware, would they?

[ChiTown33]

The return of JC

[Twalli]

But isn't the stage set?

[ChiTown33]

It's kind of always set. That's what keeps people guessing. There's always war, plague, famine, and as you said death. That's why your soul should just always be prepared. Whenever someone tries to predict a timline of the end. I always say OK, but not one prediction has been right SO FAR. Live for GOD now. Help as many as you can now. Trust that God knows when the time will be right.

[Twalli]

We would only know if the prediction was wrong.
