Christians generally believe that in the end days the anticrist will come to power out of the european union and rule the earth, so mankind is expecting the end to come in a certain sequence of events, their only looking to thoso specific events to occur,but in the bible God says satan will decieve the whole world shouldn't man be looking for other other things then those specific events. | ||||||

Hi, Brianna; I'm sure many Christians believe what you proposed, but I'm not sure that it's "generally" believed. I, for one, don't believe it. It may come to pass, but I don't see any convincing evidence. Call me cynical, but I don't see any evidence that any end-time events are imminent. Jesus called us to be fishers of men, not predictors of the future. Whatever is going to happen - and there's no general agreement on that except that Christ will return - will happen when God wants it to. I'll let him take care of the timing. In the meantime, we have the Great Commission to worry about. Just my inflammatory 2 cents' worth. Peace and grace, Steve |

stjones: Sincere thanks to you for sharing with us your "inflammatory 2 cents' worth." :-) Now for my inflammatory 2 shillings worth. I agree with you in that I find nothing in the Bible that PROVES the Second Coming is imminent. Good point. However, with all respect, I disagree with your statement that "Whatever is going to happen - and there's no general agreement on that except that Christ will return..." As I see it, I would agree that there is no universal, unanimous agreement on what is going to happen. But, there is a consensus among many, if not most, evangelical Christians concerning what the events are which are prophesied in Ezekiel 38, Matthew 24, 1 Thess. 4, 2 Thess. 2, and Revelation. The main point of disagreement is the sequence in which those events will happen. I wonder what some of you other forumites think. Do you agree or disagree? Here's a chance to exercise your liberty of opinion. :-) Grace to you, kalos |

Hi, Kalos; It's an old joke, but it applies to me: I'm not a premillenialist or a postmillenialist; I'm a panmillenialist - it'll all pan out in the end. Peace and grace, Steve |
