The world is pretty bad right now…


How much worse does it have to be before the second coming of
Christ?

I dunno. What's he waiting for anyway?

So, World War II was started due to unresolved issues of World War I. Likewise, World War II has unresolved issues. There is potential of a World War III due to these unresolved issues. The Holocaust and World War II caused a significant decision to be made: Israel was established as a secular state in 1948, and at the cost of the Islamic Palestinians losing their land to it, thus creating tension. The Israel/Palestine conflict is probably what will start World War 3.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews are reproducing more than atheist Jews in Israel. Once there is so many, once there is Ultra-Orthodox Jews in the political playing field, that is what will cause Israel as a state territory to expand itself and then possibly clash with the Islamic world. Perhaps creating World War 3. In this scenario, maybe this is when Jesus Christ will come back. How can the Jewish people survive anymore disasters once this happens?

Humanity is not done yet.

The iniquities of humanity must reach its fullness. The evil is rising and getting there. Consider the conversation between God and Abraham in Genesis 15 about the Amorite nation being casted out from their land. The Amorites will lose their nation once their iniquity/karma is completed, that means several more generations (Genesis 15:16).

I think of this in practical terms for us. Eventually, the oil will run out. Eventually, there will be too much trash and too much pollution on the planet. There will be too many people addicted to technology. The iniquity has to reach its fullness, its completion.

It's also like with Jacob serving 20 years under Laban or Jesus waiting until He's 30 to start His ministry. Even Israel in the desert for 40 years. We have to go across a desert in order to reach the promised land. It builds up tension, appreciation, endurance, persistence, etc. Even the suspense.

Why so doom and gloom? Treat yourself to a spa day and an ice cream cone, maybe donate to an organization that does some good in the world.

I like that idea. Thank you.

You ain't seen nothing yet !

The world is far from "pretty bad," lol. It's the best it has ever been for the majority on Earth.

Out of the millions of species he allegedly created why would he only care about one species? I mean I’m sure there are other species out there who are doing well.

reply

"why would he only care about one species?"

The same reason, you would save a baby over a puppy´s life.

reply

But if he created millions of species allegedly what makes us so special?

You’re not answering the question.

I thought my answer was obvious but okay. God values human life (we are image bearers) over animals, as we do.

Hey andreaahr :)

I know it looks bad right now, but what is about to come upon the earth will blow your mind. This is not the 'end times' - the 'wrath of God' - despite what many believe, we are entering into a time of 'God's Glory' where His Kingdom will clearly manifest upon the earth.

...satan has pushed forward his 'end time' plans in attempt to thwart God, but it cannot be stopped. There is a time & a season for everything, and the coming season is a time of celebration & glory, even though it may not look like it.

God is currently 'shaking the earth' - to expose evil, to bring it into the light - things are not what they seem, remember, there is always disruption when occupied territory (earth in this instance) passes over to the opposing side, ...what you are witnessing is not the 'end of the world' - but the passing from 'dark' to 'light.'

Things will continue to get worse for a time, but we are now nearing the 'eye of the storm' - it will soon pass, & good things are coming!

God Bless X***
