Bible Question: Are end time prophecies warnings about signs that appear in the culture of civilizations in the days of their destruction? Are these recurring events throughout all time? Is the rise and fall of nations cyclic like the seasons of the world? Can mankind realize what causes the fall of nations and create an everlasting kingdom? |
Bible Answer: Esdras, There is no biblical foundation for such! It seems to me scripture teaches just the opposite. I think it is safe to say based on what we find in scripture and see from mankind over the years he has walked this earth that we have yet to learn as a whole what sin does to us and to the creation as a whole. Scripture teaches us we are sinners desperately in need of a saviour (Romans 3:23). Mankind does not have within himself the ability to cleanse himself or change his sinfulness nor the ability to change his ways without the intervention of God (1 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 8:5-8, John 6:44-45). And we have no excuse because it is mankind that has sinned and suppressed the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18-21). Given that, I see no hope for mankind at all without God Himself intervening! God has appointed our times and boundaries (Acts 17:26) and certainly mankind has no power to change that despite how highly man thinks of himself. God has declared to mankind to repent because He has FIXED a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through Christ Jesus (Acts 17:30-31). So no! Mankind for the most part can’t even recognize the problem much less correct it. The everlasting kingdom is that of the only one who was, is and ever will be and that is the Lord God! Psalms 145:13 (NASB) Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Steve |
