Topic: The end of the world is nigh?

According to a US preacher, the world ends the 21st of May, which is today... and the world has ended yet.

Re: The end of the world is nigh?

Yep, predicted a 6AM earthquake in NZ, then across the time zones. No NZ quake yet, and nothing to report. Another whack-job bites the dust.

Re: The end of the world is nigh?

The Rapture has to happen before the world comes to an end. It's coming but The Bible plainly says even the Angels in Heaven don't know exactly when. I'm ready but I ain't sitting down and waiting on it.  What denomination preacher are we speaking of?

When the Power of Love overcomes The Love of Power the world will be a better place.

Re: The end of the world is nigh?

Deadstring is correct. Things will happen that lead up to the end of the world. It's not just gonna happen one day.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The end of the world is nigh?

There are several passages in the New Testament on the "signs of the end" and what to expect before it happens and no one knows when that will happen that is reserved for the creator.

Could you guys imagine if by coincidence there was an earthquake on the east coast right now? Insanity would surely ensue. Rapture

Re: The end of the world is nigh?

I am in New Zealand, and because we are next to the international date line it was supposed to hit us first. I can safely inform the world that it hasnt happened yet, So keep on plucking for now... but one day....
So be kind to each other, and enjoy the music.

Exactly, I don't think anyone can predict when the world will end.

End of the world?
No what's mean't is the end of mankind the world will be still spinning in space for a few billion years yet with or without mankind.
All religions have their dates for the "End of the world" and how it's going to happen and up to now plainly all have been wrong...
I guess if they keep banging away with dates and so called events then one may just be right and they will be probally the most shocked...

Re: The end of the world is nigh?

Funniest thing... I watched the moving "Knowing" on Friday night.  I didn't know what the end of the movie was about... the fact that all the prediction nonsense was going on Saturday ruined the ending for me and I could only laugh though the end of it.  I think the movie was supposed to be a beautiful message at the end, but I just couldn't stop laughing at the ironic silliness of the timing of watching it.

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

The end of this life is not my concern. I just would like to know if there are guitars in Heaven and will I get to have a Yamaha like mine or will I have to settle for a Martin, Gibson or Taylor? wink  wink   tongue  tongue

I am a realist so I know our sun has a life clock like all things in the universe it will someday use up all its energy and implode or super nova like all the rest of the stars in the sky and take the Earth with it keep in mind there are stars so distant that even tho they no longer exist  we still see there light, to every thing there is a season Ecclesiastes chap.3 so enjoy this special time we know as existance, I think therefore I am

This is what ALL "organized religion" groups are about, period.

Peace and Guitars,

and in the words of Ziggy Marley, " Love is my religion"
and Jimi Hendrix, " Music is my religion".

Love and music is free, especially with the internet.........

Give everything but up.

Re: The end of the world is nigh?

The end of the world wasn't that bad an experience for me. The place i'm in now is pretty darn good with all my family and friends around me, my animals still know me, I have my P.C. and chordie, my guitars hanging on the wall behind me. Can't complain.

All the best

Re: The end of the world is nigh?

Well, given that the interpretation of Revelations that leads to pre-milennium dispensationalism (that interpretation which suggests that Rapture will happen first, then 1,000 years of unrest, then a return of Christ) didn't come around until the 19th century and that there are three other orthodox Christian views of Revelations (none of which come with a guarantee), I think Reverend Camping stuck his neck out.  But it's his neck.  I don't know how you read all the passages in sufficient detail to apply numerology to them and miss all the passages that state that the end will come "like a thief in the night" and that it is "only for the Lord to know".  It's very clear, there is NO particular date and NO hidden message encoding the end.  There is numerology in Revelations, and that particular numerology is a game that used to be played on names by first century Jews.  Applying the rules of the game, the numerology suggests that Emperor Nero was the "anti-Christ" and further that "anti-Christ" isn't a title but a description of one who is against Christ (as Nero was - he used to dip Christians in tar and then light the tar to use the Christians as street lights).   That's the understanding of Revelations that I think is correct.  I don't think it's an end times story at all, but a commentary on Imperial Roman persecution of Christians.
