Checkers101: Do you believe we are living the end times prophecy of the Bible?
If so what prophecy do you see coming true?
If not comment on that please?
Many prophecies depicted in the bible have already come true and are coming true time and time again. For example, have a look at the Tetrads that coincide with the Jewish Holy Days, and the significant events that have occurred in the world with these "blood moons".... There are some more of these happening next year and 2015.
Have a look at Jerusalem... A great religious earthquake has split this city into 3 parts (Jew, Muslim, Christian)
The sun is scorching men all over the world (we call it sunburn and melanoma skin cancer)....
The dark ages is known for the persecution of free believers in Christ.... Funny how is is even called "The Dark Ages"....
A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behavior. Although examples of such prophecies can be found in literature as far back as ancient Greece and ancient India, it is 20th-century sociologist Robert K. Merton who is credited with coining the expression "self-fulfilling prophecy" and formalizing its structure and consequences. In his book Social Theory and Social Structure, Merton defines self-fulfilling prophecy in the following terms: e.g. when Roxanna falsely believes her marriage will fail, her fears of such failure actually cause the marriage to fail.
The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behaviour which makes the original false conception come 'true'. This specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning.
In other words, a positive or negative prophecy, strongly held belief, or delusion - declared as truth when it is actually false - may sufficiently influence people so that their reactions ultimately fulfill the once-false prophecy.
bayareagirl: Yes, we are. Nobody knows when not the angels of heaven nor the son. Will it be in my lifetime?? Will it be in my grandchildren lifetime?? Am I ready??
No not yet, but I believe that we're 3/4th of the way from Jesus returning. I have a theory: Now Jesus said that he would teardown the temple and rebuild it in three day, meaning of course, his death and being resurrected three days later. Jesus said that as earth days... The way of time for God is different: 2 Peter 3:8 - With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. To God, Jesus has been King for only two days (Two thousand years to us). My goodness, the angles are still celebrating, the party must still be going on in heaven. Anyway, my theory, is that Jesus could very well return in about 986 years from now, due to the way of time for God. Three thousand earth years to God, would actually be three days to God.
With what I believe, I think a few people are in for a few nasty surprises. The Day the Earth Stood Still, will happen, in a round about way. I don't think God or even Jesus is who we think they are.
well if you are still alive in 60 years time and almost all those who were born last century are dead , then you will be living in a far better world than the one you live in now......
