Are we approaching the end times?

[Twalli]

The four horsemen of the apocalypse are supposed to be the harbingers of the end times. Death is eternal, so that's always there. COVID-19 is pestilence. The wars in Ukraine and Gaza are war. It seems like famine is the only thing we're missing. I don't know how it will manifest, but I don't think anyone predicted COVID-19 either.

[NathanDavis]

very Western of you... not to count the almost 300 million people that could die any day now, pretty much any hour because of... famine

[Twalli]

I guess famine to me is more of a worldwide lack of food, not areas that don't have adequate food and usually don't. To me, famine has to be something wholly unique.

[NathanDavis]

yeah... that's the Western mentality, lol

who cares if two billion people are actually starving and dying... for as long as the 20 people in my life are fine in the "first world"... I don't care for the "third world" because they don't really count

[Twalli]

I do care, but if we're talking biblical famine, it needs to more widespread like COVID-19 became and how the wars in Ukraine and Gaza have affected most of the world.

[NathanDavis]

yeah... those poor millions and billions of people don't count... right?

lol...

[BCRanger10]

It's possible. We do not know. Watch and pray. That is all we are told.

Every generation since the Bible (and before) has said they were in the end times.

(photo from the 1970s, they're still out there now)

[DangerouslyCute]

the problem is we are experiencing all of those from the beginning of humanity... and still no end in a predictable future :D

everything, including famine, even in your area, people are starving...

[capriVib]

Since the sun doesn't rise in the west, we still have time.

[Twalli]

And we don't have famine yet. At least not at the level of war and pestilence.

[Sal_Monella]

Ever since the resurrection, we have been approaching the end of times.

[Twalli]

Who is/wasn't it? Wouldn't The Pope know? He didn't tell us. Why wouldn't he?

[Sal_Monella]

Yes, no and maybe.

[DryGermanGuy]

What about the biblical swarms of locusts? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? 🤔

[Friendlybro79]

Actually pandemics were predicted we just weren't sure exactly when.

[Twalli]

Eventually, but this was 100 years after the last.

[Friendlybro79]

Yes and 100 years is nothing regarding the age of our planet and end times requires prophecy which I don't believe in.

[Friendlybro79]

I do believe in naivety and people creating self fulfilling prophecies by crazy religious leaders in governments

[msc545]

No, that is all myth, but we ARE approaching a civil war.

[Pterodon]

We are not. If we did it’d be the left that starts it

[Twalli]

@Pterodon Because the right is so much less confrontational?

[Pterodon]

We don’t have to be confrontational. We have guns

[Twalli]

@Pterodon so you just storm the Capitol?

[Pterodon]

Better than torching cities and calling it peaceful protest

[Twalli]

@Pterodon Mostbifvthr cities remain unaffected. Yet that doesn't make the news.

[seeyounexttuesday]

covid-19 is a cold, lol.

[Twalli]

Not exactly. It's a specific type of virus.

[seeyounexttuesday]

it's a cold with a good PR firm.

[Twalli]

Not exactly, unless you think SARS is also cold.

[seeyounexttuesday]

100% exactly.

[an_nMary]

Hehe no, don’t funny here
