That would just ge a guess on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest man Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 2,000 years ago the Hebrews witnessed the unfolding of prophecy. How did they react? They killed Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can make sense of a dragon Beasts and all such things. Maybe I am wrong but End times did not become popular either until the late 19th century or early 20th century. World War 1 for example brought forth the idea we are at the very end. This is when the Jehovah Witnesses predicted the end of the world in 1914. course World War 2 pretty much had the same effect believing Hitler was the antichrist. I believe since 1948 since the Jews returned back to Israel it was a milestone that myriads of Churches not wanted to know Bible Prophecy unlike no time ever before They were confused then and we are just as confused now. Pretty much Prophecy is not every day kind of talk. Prophecy is a word dependent on God’s understanding. Worldly wisdom does not know these things. Why is it so confusing? I think God only wants true believers to have at least basic discernment of Prophecy. What happens to us when we don’t know the answers? We continue to ask God. Then we are still looking and looking again. What do we do? We rely on God. I don’t know why God wrote this symbolically. Why couldn’t he just tell us plainly? And the answer is while even though we can figure out some things still in a large portion we are standing confused in a great mystery. And for some reason it may be perhaps God does not want us to know everything until it has all happened. Just like the disciples did not know of Jesus purpose not until actually Jesus was raised from the dead. They invited him to eat and did not know him. Once Jesus spoke the word they then could see him. So perhaps when all this is done and over we will then understand why. We should always be asking God why. Because if we don’t then it would mean we already know the answers and that would make people not Pray to God. So we not need to worry of many confusing things. This confusion draws us more to want to know God’s plan and how Bible Prophecy will come forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even try to figure it out when we know we can't. The only way to figure out end times is for more prophecies to be fulfilled. We've been waiting for new prophecies to be fulfilled since 1948 and 1967. 46 years. I don't think God intended us to fully understand it, and I believe it doesn't lessen my walk with Christ either if I don't understand. All Jesus told us to do is to be watchful, love others, give to the needy and follow him. Everything else is up for question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think God wants you to figure it out; after all today is the day of your salvation and urgency is always presented. Responsibility, maturity, growing in the spirit. When I'm not doing these things it's frustrating. And the Bible is the word of God. I guess he's showing me I will know what I know in his own time. (deep breath) Today is the day of my salvation?
