Bible Question: Just wondering what your guys take on the apocalypse is. Believe it? Believe the world is actually ending 2012? Anyone want to translate Revelation 16:8-9 into standard English for me? |
Bible Answer: Dear Spike, Matthew 24:36 – 39: 36 "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 2Thessalonians 2:1,2: 1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. We know the day is coming because His Word tells us it is. The more important question is not when, but are you ready? Don’t let anybody fool you with dates. Anyone claiming to know is simply being deceitful. Revelation 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! Stand in His grace, WOS |
