Signs of God's Coming

Redeeming Love · #1 06-22-2010, 04:28 PM

There has been so much that has happened in the past six months that make me know that God is so very soon to come. Did you know that there are earthquakes happening everyday? The earthquake that happened in Haiti actually shook the entire world and moved the earth of its axis...effectively shortening the length of the day. Can you believe that???!!! God's Word is being fulfilled everyday. I just want to be ready. We need to keep letting people know that God is soon to come.

God is pouring out His Spirit and signs of His coming are clear. Check out this video too.

when you speak of signs of God's coming,

what do you mean by coming?

the rapture?
or His return to earth?

If the "rapture" is a surprise coming, why are there signs that will precede it?

I'm referring to the Rapture. Some people would be surprised to know that I don't believe the rapture will be altogether a surprise event. Jesus says that no man knoweth the day or the hour but He never said that we wouldn't know the season. That's why He told His disciples that when you see these things look up for your redemption draweth nigh.

But even if someone doesn't believe in the rapture per se they'd have to admit that in some way the signs are evident that judgement is about to fall and is even beginning to happen now, after which I believe most people believe that Jesus will be returning to earth.

But I believe that the Bible says that His Church will be kept from the worst of the destruction that is to come

I believe it has been documented that earthquakes are actually decreasing.... hmmm... if true, what would this mean?

Jesus said the earthquakes were a sign leading up to the Tribulation and he very precisely told his disciples..when YOU shall see...not they that see..his audience was his disciples and He was telling THEM things THEY would see in THEIR lifetime..so many do not grasp this simple truth..

Yep. Just like when He told them to pray that their flights(they did go on to escape wrath & flee to Pella) not be in the winter, or on the sabbath.

Or even when He told them they would be persecuted in the synagogues.

Per the video song, according to scripture John the baptist was the only voice in the wilderness crying "prepare ye the way of the Lord". I'm not sure why we have all these songs now that say we are the ones fullfilling that prophesy. And John said the Kingdom was at hand then, which means its already been here for a long time.
I did think the clouds looking like 2 eyes was pretty cool.

"Jesus said the earthquakes were a sign leading up to the Tribulation and he very precisely told his disciples..when YOU shall see...not they that see..his audience was his disciples and He was telling THEM things THEY would see in THEIR lifetime..so many do not grasp this simple truth.."

Maybe I'm not quite understanding what you are saying. Are you saying that the disciples saw these signs and if so do you believe that the tribulation has already happened?

I look at the fact that the disciples specifically asked what would be the signs of His coming and of the end of the world. Not whether or not they would see it. They simply asked what are the signs and Jesus told them what the signs would be. Otherwise why hasn't Jesus returned? why hasn't the world ended? It's been 2000 years.

I mean you have to admit that we are seeing the signs that Jesus talked about. Wars and Rumors of Wars. The earthquake that hit Haiti literally moved the earth of it's axis and the shortened the length of the day. The headline literally said that the length of the day had been shortened. If that's not Bible Prophecy being fulfilled I don't know what is.

"Yep. Just like when He told them to pray that their flights(they did go on to escape wrath & flee to Pella) not be in the winter, or on the sabbath.

Even now Jews who believe that Jesus is the Messiah are persecuted and cast out from their synagogues. Regarding John the Baptist, I thought the same thing at first but then I reread what John actually said. He was preparing the people for Jesus' coming, yes but he was also crying out "Prepare ye the way of the Lord" he was commanding the people to prepare the way of the Lord. To declare the Truth of God to the nations. In essence when we are witnessing to people we are preparing the way for them to accept God on a personal level.

I thought the eyes in the clouds were just amazing!

I love these types of discussions... Thanks everyone for responding!

Actually the numbers of earthquakes are steadily increasing overall decade by decade. If you look at it year by year, you'll have a year that spikes and then one or two years that there aren't as many earthquakes as it was that one year. But then it'll spike again and it never goes back down to what our levels used to be. It gradually and steadily increases. I'll have to ask her what the link is but she saw this chart of the seismographic activity in the past three decades. She said that the pattern actually resembles that of labor contractions. "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. " Travailing is usually used in reference to a woman in labor... I find this whole time period exciting and sorrowful. Exciting because it means that my Saviour is coming. Sorrowful because there are so many out there who don't know God's love
